Nominated for the Wairarapa Jookey Club Sires' Produce Stakes, 1889. TO STAND THIS SEASON, ■■'■■*ak T LANGDALE, Whareama.the Bire CRAWFORD PRIORY, FOALED 1878. CRAWFORD PRIORY is a cbesnut horse, standing sixteen hands, with exceptionally good bone, substanoo, and beautiful quality, He is perfectly quiet to ride or handle, and was bred by Sir Thos. Elder, of the famed Morphettviile stud, South Australia, by Gang Forward (imported)-dam Peradventure (imported), by Adventurer—Manganese, by Irish Birdcateber—Moonbeam, by Tomboy—Lunatic, by Prime Minister—Maniac,-' by Shuttle-Anticipation, Adventurer, bv NewminsW- Palma, by Bmilins—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. Lulie—Electress. Orlando, by Touchstone -Vulture, by Langar. Stockwoll, by The Baron—Pocahontas, by Glencoe. The Baron, by Irißh Birdcatcber—Echidna, by Economist, Whether for racing or general purposes, CRAWFOKD PRIORY'S breeding cannot be excelled, as his pedigree contains the names of most of the, greatest stud successes known to fame. Riddlesworth w«s by Emilius, and any of his descendants are highly esteemed, and justly so, their genuineness being universally admitted. CRAWFOKD PBIORY'B, dam Peradventure, through her 3ire Adventurer, is a great., granddaughter of Emilius, whilst Maniac, thegg.g.damof Peradventure, was Riddlesworiha granddam. Manganese won the 1000 gniue-iB, and is the granddam of Apology, winner of tho 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 Newminster—the sire of Hermit, through the Buccess of his stock styled " The sire of tin Age"—Ad venturer, Orlando, Touoh3tone, Stsckwell, The Baron, Irish Birdcatcherj and on the dam's side gives Manganese, Moonbeam, Palma, Francesca, Beeswing, Lady Mary, Splitvote, Pocahontas, and Echidna, the question to determine it, could there possibly oe a grander combination of all that time has over and over aizain 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 three-yeai-old in the Champion Race of 1888, got to the end of 3 miles in the wonderful time of smm. 26seu., many who were present averring that he actually won, the verdict against him being pniy a shprt head in the great Commotjon's layor, Conjecture reaently 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 samo purchaser for eleven hundred guineas. Peradventure'a four foals by Gang Forward were sold for two thousand six hundred and thirty guinoaß, an average of over six hundred and fifty guineas each which would have been largely increased bad 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 colonjeß where the money invested in thoroughbred horses cap be counted by hundreds of thousands sterling. Owing to accident when a yearling, Crawtord Priory was not trained. He was used for one season as a sire, anil his Btook promise well, As CRAWFORD PRIORY is not likely to be more than one season in the Wairarapa, breeders are invited to take advantage of the presence amongst tl|eia of a sire of the very highest class.
