See 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 larailies of modern times, As the dam of Manuka, Toi Toi, Harakeke, Totara, Ecnga, Papnpa, Wainui, Kauri, Waiiti, Rama Kama, and Puriri, old Waimea, has indeed left an imperishable name, and it would take a volume to recount the victories gained by the brogeiiy of the old marc. The mention of Pnriri's ancestors will recall to breeders the victories in this Colony of Manuka, Peeress, Korati, Kakapo, Long" lands, Papapa, Lacenfeed, Songster, Tainburini, and a host of others, whilst in Victoria and New South Wales, the excellence of tho Melbourne-Sir Hercules' cross shone out in. Progiess, whose sire. Angler, is from Towton's own sister, Marchioness, and whos*. dam, Coquette, is by Sir Hercules, . Claiming close relationship to so many great racehorses it is unnecessary to c'.o more than briefly mentionThat Waimea was lull sister to Zoe, winner of ttvo Australian Champion Races, also to Cossack, Bay Middletnn, Flora, 10, and Nutwith, the latter so well known hi this district as a sire. That Waimea's sire, Sir Hercules, was also sire of The Barb, and Yattendon, the latter for years Ihe premier stallion of Australasia, who, in his turn, cave us Grand Flameur, Chester, and scores of other notables. Towton's sister, Marchioness, won the English Oaks, and is the dam of Fishhook, Hose uf Denmark, Angler, and King of Clubs, the latter is now in the middle Park Stud, Canterbury. _ That tho Peer, Towton's brother, is the sire of Manuka, Peeress, Troy, and Darebiu, That Manuka is the sire of Duchess, winner o: the V.R.C. Handicap, for three and four year olds, beating a good field. That Towton is the siro of Korari, Tambourini, llama Kama, Songster-sire of Hornby-Atalanta, dam of Pungawcrewere, Waiti, dam of Iris, That the Marquis, who won tho 2000 Guineas Stakes and St. Lcgcr, subsequently running Caractacus to a head for the Derby, is now in tho Bundoora Park Stud where Lurlino is, and is half brother to Towton, being also a sou of Cinizelli, and sire of the Painter, Newminster, His Lordship. &o. That Puriri as a racehorso amongst our very best performers stood quite in the first rank, winning the Dunedin Derby, beating Bribery, Fallacy, Hippocampus, Danebury, Dead Heat, iinrl Spray, and to quote from the report " having all his field beaten half a i mile trom home, won hands domi." Only i Dead H<-at would oppose him in the Canterbury tit, Leger, which Puriri also won in a canter. i As on index to tho high character Puriri possessed when racing it is only necessary to year old to carry the crushing weight of Oat lib in the Canterbury Metropolitan Handicap, 1877,1J miles, and thej started at 2ti 1 when Templcton, aged, only had 9st 31bs allotted to him, Ariel, syrs, 9st Blbs, and Foul Play, 3yrs, only carried Ost 71bs, _ Add to Puriii's undoubtedly high credentials for breeding and performances, that he stands over 1C hands with proportionate sii('stance all through, and owners of brood marcs can form a fair estiuntc of the capabilities of the sire placed at their services for the ensuing season--whether for brepdiug racehorses, hacks, or carriage horses, Puriri has been at tho stud three years, and was awarded two first prizes and two champion prizes at Patca, and first prize at Wanganui, also tho champion cup for the best thoroughbred on the ground.
