TO TEA'V EL IN THE WA RAItAPA DISTRICT, rpilE Pure Clydesdale Stallion, A Ton. AVON is a bay horse with black points, and stands 17 hands high, with plenty of bone and hair, He is coineof a great family. Ilia dam was sold at 80 guineas when good mares were sold at a fourth of that price. She is out of a Blackleg mare—one of iv family of four, out of tlio same (Inin, and the (jumtcite, by Renfrew Jock, were the foi:r best horses over bred in the Oanmru District.

She has been Irst and champion at Christclrarch many timei-, beating the great Maggie Craig, Champion of Scotland. She was first at Dunedin and in her class and champion of the yard.
