As an index to the high c.iaraoter Puriri possessed wheu racing it ib only neoeßsary to state that he was handicapped as a four year old to carry tho crushing weight of 9st lib m the Canterbury Metropolitan Handioap, 1877,1J miles, and thea started at 2to 1 when Templeton, aged,, only had H 31bs allotted to him, Ariel, fjyrs, 9st 81bs, and Foul Play, 3yrs, only carried 6st 71bs, Add to Puriii's undoubtedly high credentials for breeding and performances, that he stands over 1G hands with proportionate Bukstancs all through, and owners of biood Biares can form a fair estimate of the capabilities of the sire placed at their services for the ensuing season--whether for breediug racehorses, hacks, or carriage horses.
