TO STAND THIS SEASON, LA N^ALE, Thoroughbred Sire ! CRAWFORD PRIORY, ; " FOALED 1878. CRAWFORD PRIORY is a chesnut horse, standing sixteen hands, with exceptionally good bone, substance, and beantifnl 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 Irißh Birdcatcher—Moonbeam, by Tom ; l)oy—Lunatic, by Prime Minister—Maniao, by Shuttle—Anticipation, -Adventurer, bv Newminstur- Palma, by Emilius-Francesca. Newminster, by Touchstone—Beeswing. Gang Forward (winner of the 2000 guineas, 1873), by Stookwell—Lady Mary, by Orlando —Splitvote (granddam of St. Albans), by St. Luko— Eleetresj. Orlando, by Touchstone —Vulture, by Langar. Stookwell, by The Baron—Pocahontas, by Glencoe. The Baron, by Irish Birdoi^cher—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 Emilius, and any of his descendants are highly esteemed, and justly so, their genuineness being universally admitted. CRAWFOIiD PRIORY'S, dam Peradventure, through her sire Adventurer, is a great., granddaughter of Emilius, whilst Maniac, theg.g.g. dam of Peradventure, was Riddlesworths granddam. Manganese won the 1000 guineis, aud 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 Buch sires as Newminster-the sire of Hermit, through the success of his stock styled " The sire of tin Age"—Adventurer, Orlando, Touchstone, -Stockwell, The' Baron, Irish Birdcatcher; and on the dam's side gives Manganese, Moonbeam, Palma, Franceses, Bee3wing, 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 racea in the. Australian Colonies, and at weight for age as a tliree-yeai-old in the Champion .Bade of 1883, got to the end of 3 miles in the wonderful time of fimin; 26sec., many who were present averring that he aotucJly won, the verdict against him being only a short head in the great Commotion's favor. Conjecture 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, 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 teen, largely increased bad not Crawford Priory been withdrawn from competition according to arrangement after the first bjd, and jt 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 au accident when a yearling, Crawtord 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 more than one Beason in the Wairarapa, breeders are invited to take advantage of the presence amongst them of a sire of the very highest class.
