TO TRAVEL IN.THE WA RARAPA DISTRICT,, riIHE Pure Olydeßdale Stallwn, Avon. AVON in toy horae with black points, and standii 17 hands high, with plenty of bone and hair.-..-He.U cote of a great family, His dam was sold at • 80, guineas when good marea : were sold at a fourth, of iM price, :; She is out of, a Blackleg.mare-one of a family of four, out of the same dam, and the quartette, by Renfrew Jook, were the four best horses'evor bred in tbe Oamaru District. AVON, by Avon Chief (150, N.Z.5.8.) bred by w. Boag, Esq,, Fendalton, near Chriatchurch, out of his famous prize mare Grace Darling (36), by Trince of Kilbride, imported (602), Grace Darling by Prince Charlie, imported (4 and 626). Grace Darling was tho best maro that ever stood in Now Zealand, She has been .Irst and champion at Chrifltchurch many times, boating tho great Maggie Oraig, Champion of Scotland, She was first at Dunedin and in her class and champion of the yard. Infaob her career in the ring is unpreoedented, _ AVON'S dam, Gipsy, by Renfrew Jock (135) imported from Victoria-; g siro Renfrew, imported from Scotland; g dam Jess, by Blaokleg, imported from Scotland. Renfrew Jock's dam Rose, by Oo'wden Lad, a famous Clydesdale, imported from-Scotland by the lato David Nesbitt. Renfrew Jook was a most successful show horse. Before leaving Viotoria he took many firsts, and ho was threo years in succession in Oamaru, Timaru and Dunedin, and Champion of the yard as well. From this history breeders will recognise that they have in Avon not only a horso of good parts, but an Entire of good lineage, a matter altogether different from a good looking horse,Tho great point in horse breeding is to have a siro connected with good familios of undoubted character. In the one caso the stock will be uniformly good, while in the other case individuals may surpass, but tho general character of tho Btock will bo inferior and disappointing, Nothing is more grievous to a breeder than to see weeds spring from a good-looking sire.
