Horatio, by Maribyrong, by Fisherman, Progress, by Angler. Trident, by Robinson Crusoe,'by Angler, by Fishorman. It will be seen from the above that the stout-hearted Fisherman has been even more to the Australian Turf than Traducer to tho New Zealand. The fact that Piscatorious is the only Fisherman and Traducer nick obtainable should be suflicientto entitle him to the respect of breeders. Yearlings by Piscatorious, out of Thoroughbred marcs, .would bring at auction from 100 to 150 guineas in any part of tho world. - Owners of mares who are desirous to breed high priced youngsters should stick to winning strains and put their mares to a horse bred on the lines of Piscatorious, whose breeding .alone would command him a big season in any part of tho world, PiscatoriouB 1 first get when a yearling brought 250 guineas. Ho was shipped to Sydney to take part in the big two-year-old events of New South - Wales and Victoria, and since he landed [in Sydney he has been purchased at the high figure of 700 guineas by a well-known New South Walos sportsman, After his performance in the Hawkesbury Guineas in September the "Town & Country Journal" stated that the ownor of

Kingfish had refused an offer of four figures for the colt, In speaking of thiß colt, the Australian sporting scribes always give him the prefix of the "handsomo" KingM. "Augur" in the "Australasian" says ho was not within 101b of his best form, when ho raced in the A.J.C. Derby against TriJ dent, In Hawkes Bay Piscatorious has obtained Champion Prizes two years in succession, and no matter what class of mare patronises him, the breeder is sure to get something that- will recoup him for his outlay, on account of his pureness of blood, size and substance. His two-year-olda in Hawkes Bay, out of average mares, cannot he purchased under 60 guineas. Hermit in by Ncwminster, by Touohstono, Blood will tell. Piscatorious has more puro rouchstone blood coursing through his rans.than any other horse living. It is no idle boast to say that Piscatorious is the best bred sire south of the line, for undoubt sdly he is, and, moreover, he is in every respect what his pedigree would imply—a magnificent stamp of a thoroughbred raceliorse, pogseflsing great powor, and full of stout and fast blood. No doubt the Hon, J. White's big success is through keeping strictly to winning strains. The best horse he ever owned was rrident, by Eobinson Crusoe, by Angler, by Fisherman. Some sportsmen aver that it is 1 White's luck," It is no suoh thing. It is lis sound sense, and good judgment, that :arrys that gentleman through. There is no lecret in the matter, and he knows that to irced winners, it is necessary to stick to vinning families. In color Piscatorious is a beautiful dark irown, with black points, standing 16 lands 2in high, has a neat expressive Jiead nover a neater or cleaner head set ou a ,eck), indicative of a good temper, His eck is long and muscular, with windpipe rell detached; his shoulders are deep and roll laid back, and good enough for anything, fe's a grand topped 'un. Piscatorious hurt himself in a wire fence ;hen a youngster, and from the effects of iis accident he has always suffered more or !ss during the whole time he was training, 'espite all these drawbacks, when a threeear old, he started in fourteen races, won inc, and ran second twice.
