Nominated for the Wairarapa Jonkey Olub Sires' Produce Stakes, 1889. TO STAND THIS SEASON, A* LANGDALE, B fflfflmSir Whareama,the Sire CRAWFORD PRIORY, FOALED 1878. CRAWFORD PRIORY is a chesnut horse, standing sixteen hands, with exceptionally good bone, substance, and beautiful quality, He is perfectly quiet to ride or handle, and was bred by Sir Thos. Elder, of the famed Morphettville stud, South Australia, by Gang Forward (imported)-dam Peradventure (imported), by Adventurer—Manganese, by Irish Birdcatohor—Moonbeam, by Tomboy—Lunatio, by Prime Minister—Mamao, by Shuttle—Anticipation. Adventurer, by Newminster-Palma,by Emilitiß—Francesco. Newminster, by Touchstone—Beeswing. Gang Forward (winner of the 2000 guineas, 1873), by Stockwell—lady Mary, by Orlando —Splitvote (granddam of St. Albans), by St. Luke—Electress. Orlando, by Touchstone —Vulture, by Langar. Stockwell, by The Baron—Pocahontas, by Glencoe. The Baron, by Irish Birdcatcher—Echidna, by Economist, Whether for racing or general purposes, CRAWFORD PRIORY'S breeding cannot be excelled, as his pedigree contains the names of most of the greatest stud successes known to fame. Riddlesworth was by Emilias, and any of his descendants are hishly esteemed, and justly so, their genuineness being universally admitted. CRAWFORD PRIORY'S, dam Peradventure, through her sire Adventurer, is a great., granddaughter of Emilius, whilst Maniac, the g.g.g. damof Peradventure, was Riddlesworth's granddam. ; Manganese, won the 1000 guineas, and is the granddam of Apology, winner of the Great St. Leger, better known as "The Parson's Mire," and Agility, another celebrity. When the leading lines of a pedigree are occupied by suoh sireß as Newminster—the sire of Hermit, through the success of his stock styled " The sire of tbi Age"-r-Adventurer, Orlando, Touchstone, Stockwell, The Baron, Irish Birdcatoher; and on the dam's side gives Manganese, Moonbeam', Palma, Franceses, Beeswing, Lady Mary, Splitvote, Pooahontas, and Eohidna, the question to determine is, could there possibly oe a grander combination of all that time has over and over attain proved to be excellent, than the breeding of the subject of this notice. The perusal of CRAWFORD PRIORY'S pedigree calls to mind the performances of his brother and sister, Guesswork and Con" jecture. The former won several good races in the Australian Colonies, and at weight for age as a three-yeai-old in the Champion Race of 1808, got to the end of 8 miles in the wonderful timo of Sinin. 26aec., many who were present averring that ho actually won, the verdict against him being only a short head in . the great Commotion's favor, Conjccta recently at Adelaide ran seoond for the £2,000 Cup, beating everything opposed to her but Malta. She afterwards at ■ auction realised a thousand guineas, Guesswork going to the same purchaser for eleven hundred guineas. • Peradventure's four foals by Gang Forward were sold for two thousand six hundred and thirty guineas, an average of over six hundred and fifty guineas each which would have bsen largely increased had not Crawford Priory been withdrawn from competition according to arrangeinont after the first bid, and it'should be remembered that these prices were obtained in one of the Australian colonies where the money invested in thoroughbred horses can be counted by hundreds of thousands sterling. Owing to an accident whon a yearling, Crawford Priory was not trained. Ho was used for one season as a sire, and his stock promise well. As CRAWFORD PRIORY is not likely to bo more than one season in the Wairarapa, breeders are invited to take advantage of the presence amongst them of a sire of the very highest class.
