Nominated for the Wairarapa Jockey Club Sires' Produce Stakes, 1889, TO STAND THIS SEASON, yi LANGDALE, Whareama,the Thoroughbred Sire CRAWFORD PRIORY, FOALED 1878. CRAWFORD PRIORI is a chesnut horse, standing sixteen hands, with exceptionally good bone, substance, and beautiful quality, He is perfectly quiet to rido or handle, and was bred by Sir Thos. Elder, of the famed Morphettville btud, South Australia, by Gang Forward (imported)—dam Poradvanture (imported), by Adventurer—Manganese, by Irish Birdcatober—Moonbeam, by Tomboy—Lunatic, by Prime Minister—Maniac, by Shuttle—Anticipation, Adventurer, by Newminstor-Palma.byEmiliiis-Francesca, 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—Electreas. 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, CRAWFOKD PRIOKY'S breeding cannot be excelled, as his pedigreo contains the names of most of the greatest stud successes known to fame. Riddlesworth was by Emilius, and any of his descendants are highly esteemed, and justly so, their genuineness being universally admitted. I CRAWFORD PRIORY'S, dam Peradven-' ture, through her 3ire Adventurer, is a great--granddaughter of Emilius, whilst Maniac, the g.g.g. damofPcradventure, 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 such sires as Newminater-tlie sire of Hermit, through the success of his stock styled " The sire of th i Age"—Ad venturer, Orlando, Touchstone, Stockwell, The Baron, Irish Birdcatcher; and on the dam's side gives Manganese, Moonbeam, Palma, Francesca, Beeswing, Lady Mary, Splitvote, Pocahontas, and Echidna, the question to determine is, could there possibly be a grander combination of all that time has over and over again 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 Conjecture, 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 1883, got to the end of 3 miles in the wonderful time of smin. 2Gsec, many who were present averring that he actually won, the verdict against him being only a short head in the great Commotion's favor, Conjeotura recently at Adelaide ran second for the £2,000 Cup, beating everything opposed, to her but Malta, She afterwards at auction realised a thousand guineas, Guosswork going to the eamo purchaser for eleven hundred guineas. Peradvcnturo's four foals by Gang Forward were pold for two thousand six hundred and thirty guineas, an average of over six hundred and fifty guineas each which would have been largely increased had not Crawford Priory been withdrawn from competition according to arrangement 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 accident when a yearling, Crawford Priory was not trained. He was used for one season as a sire, and his stock promise well, As CRAWFORD PRIORY is not likely to be moro thin one season in the Wairarapa, breeders are invited to take advantage of the presence amongst them of a eire of the very highest class.
