Sea New Zealand or English Stud Book for Towton or Waimea's ancestors, Such is the breeding of a direct descendant of one of the most successful thoroughbred families of modern times, As tho dam of Manuka, Toi Toi, Harakoke, Totara, Ronga, Papapa, Wainui, Kauri, Waiiti, Rama Rama, and Puriri, old Waimea, has indeed left an imperishable name, and it would take a volume to recount the victories gamed by the progeny of the old mare. The mention of Puriri's ancestors will recall to breeders the victories in this Colony of Manuka, Peeress, Koran, Kakapo, Longlands, Papapa, Lacenfeed, Songster, Tarnburini, and a host of others, whilst in Victoria and New South Wales, the excellence of the Melbourne—Sir Hercules' cross shone out in Progress, whose sire, Angler, is from Towton's own sister, Marchioness, and whoss dam, Coquetto, is by Sir Hercules. Claiming close relationship to so many great racehorses it is unnecessary to <>'o more than briefly mentionThat Waimea was full sister to Zoe, winner of two Australian Champion Raceii, also to Cossack. Bay Middleton, Flora, 10, and Nutwith, the latter so well known in this distriot as a sire. That Waimoa's sire, Sir Hercules, was also sire of The Barb, and Yattendon, the latter for years the premier stallion of Australasia, who, in his turn, gave us Graud Flameur, Chester, and scores of other notables, Towlon'a sister. Marchioness, won the English Oaks, and is the dam of fishhook, Hose of Denmark, Angler, and King of Clubs, tho latter is now in the middle Park Stud, Canterbury. _ That the Peer, Towton's brother, is the sire of Manuka, Peeress, Troy, and Darebin, That Manuka is the sire of Duchess, winner o! the V.R.C. Handicap, for three and four year olds, boating a good field. That Towton is the sire of Korari, Tambonrini, Rama Rama, Songster-sire of Hornby—Atalanta, dam of Pungawerewere, Waiti, dam of Iris, That the Marquis, who won the 2000 Guineas Stakes and St, Leger, subsequently running Caraciacus to a head for tho Derby, is now in the Bundoora Park Stud where Lurline is, and is half brother to Towton, boing also a sou of Cinizelli, and sire of the Painter, Newminster, His Lordship. &o, That Puriri as a racehorse amongst our very best performers stood quite in the first rank, winning the Dunediu Derby, beating Bribery, Fallacy, Hippocampus, Danebury, Dead lleat, und Spray, aud to quote from the report" having alt his field beaten half a mile from home, won hands down." Only Dead H-at would oppose him in the Canterbury St, Leger, which Puriri also won in a canter. As nn index to the high ciiaraoter Puriri possessed when racing it is only necessary to state that he was handicapped as a four yoar old to carry tho crushing weight of 9st lib in the Canterbury Metropolitan Handicap, 1877,1} miles, aud Ihoa started at 2to 1 when Templetou, aged, only had 9st 31bs allotted to him, Ariel, syrs, Oat 81bs, and Foul Play, 3yrs, only carried Gst 71bs. Add to Puriii's undoubtedly high credentials for breeding and performances, that lie stands over 16 bands with proportionate substance all through, and owners of brood can form a fair estimate of the capabilities of the sire placed their services for the ensuing season-whether for breeding racehorses, hacks, or carriage horses. Puriri hss been at the stud three years, and was awarded two first prizes and two ' champion prizes at Patea, and first prize at Wanganui, also tho champion oup for the best thoroughbred on the ground.

RUFUS, bred by Mr Walter Morrison, at Manaia, admittedly comes from a pure Clydesdale strain on both sides, and bears evidence of this by the f-ict that, as regards size, bone, powerful build, symmetry, and height, lie is equal to the finest horse that has yet been imported, and is acknowledged the best 3 year old colt ever shown in this district, Terms:£3, gnarantee, £4los, Payable by P.N., duo Ist January, 1885, Two or more mares as per agreement.
