See New Zealand or English Stud Book for Towton or Wainiea's ancestors, Such is the breeding of a direct descendant of one of the most successful thoroughbred families of modern times, As the dam of Manuka, Toi TOl, Harakeke, Totara, Renga, Papupa, Wainui, Kauri, Wanti, Kama Kama, ami Puriri, old Wiumea, has indeed left an imperishable name, and it would take a volumo to recount the victories gained by the progeny of the old mare. The mention of Puriri's ancestors will recall to breeders the victories in this Colony fi Manuka, Peeress, Korari, Kakapo, Long"' lands, Papapi, Lacenfeed, Songster, Tarnburini, and a host of others, whilst in Victoria and New South Wales, the excellence of the Melbourne-Sir Hercules' crosß shone out iu Progiess, whose sire, Angler, is from Towton's own sister, Marchioness, and whosj dam, Coquetto, is by Sir Hercules, Claiming close relationship to so many great racehorses it is unnecessary to to more than briefly mentionThat Waimea was full sister to Zoe, winner of two Australian Champion Racen, also to Cossack. Bay Middletnn, Flora, Io 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 the premier stallion of Australasia, who, in his turn, gave us Grand Flameur, Chester, and scores of other notables. Towton's sister, Marchioness, won the English Oaks, and is the dam of Fishhook, Hose of Denmark, Angler, and King of Uubs, the latter is now in the middle Park Stud, Canterbury.

Only Dead H-at would oppose him in the Canterbury St, Leger, which Puriri also won in a canter, As an index to the high cnaraoter Puriri possessed when racing it is only necessary to state that he was handicapned as a four year old to carry the crushing weight of 9st lib in the Canterbury Metropolitan Handicap, 1877,1J miles, and thej started at 21-> 1 when Templeton, aged, only had H 31bs allotted to him, Ariel, syrs, 9st 81bs, and Foul Play, 3yrs, only carried fist 7lbs. _ Add to Puriii's undoubtedly high credentials for breeding and performances, that he stands over 16 hands with proportionate sui-stance all through, and owners of brood mares can form a fair estimate of the capabilities of the sire placed at their services for the ensuing seas„n -whether for breeding racehorses, hacks, or carriage horses, Puriri has been at the stud three years, and was awarded two first prizes and two champion prizes at Patea, and first prize at Wauganui, <Jso the champion cup for the beßt thoroughbied on the ground.
