TO TRAVEL IN THE WA RARAPA DISTRICT, |J|HE Pure Clydesdale Stallion, Avon. AVON i» a buy horse with black points, and itaiidn 17 lwnds high, with plenty of bone and hair. He is come of a great family. His dam irns sold At 80 guineas when good mares were sold at a fourth of that price. She is out of a Blackleg mnre-ono of a family of four, out of the same dam, and the quartette, bv Ronfrew Jock, were the four best horses ever bred in tho Oamam District. AVON, by Avon Chief (150, N.Z.5.8.) bred by w, Boag, Esq,, Fendalton, neat Christchurch, out of his famous prize mare Graco Darling (3G), by IMnce of Kilbride, imported (GO2). Grace Darling by Prince Charlie, imported (4 and G2G), Graco Darling was the best maro that ever stood in New Zealand. She has been first and champion at Christohurch many time,-, beating the great Maggie Craig, Champion of Scotland. Sho was first at Dunedin and in hor class and champion of tho yard, In fact hor career in the ring ia unprecedented. AVON'S dam, Gipsy, by Renfrew Jock (135) imported from Victoria; g sire Renfrew, imported from Scotland; g dam Joss, by Blackleg, imported from Scotland. Eenfrow Jock's dims Rose, by Cowden Lad, a famous Clydesdale, imported from Scotland by the lato David Nesbitt. Renfrew Jock was a most successful show horse, Beforo leaving Victoria he took many firsts, aud ho was three years in succession in Oamaru, Timaru and Dunedin, and Champion of the yard as well. I-'rom this history breeders will recognise that they have in Avon not oidy a horse of good parts, but an Entire of good lineage, a matter altogether different from a good looking horso. The great point in horso breeding is to have a sire connected with good families of undoubted character. In the one case the stock will be uniformly good, whilo in the other case individuals may surpass, but tho general character of the stock will be inferior and disappointing, Nothing is more grievous to a breeder than to seo weeds spring from a good-looking sire.
