Progress, by Angler, Trident, by Kobinson Crusoe, by Angler, by Fisherman, It will be seen from the above that the stout-hearted Fisherman has been oven more to the Australian Turf than Traducer to the New Zealand. The fact that Piscatorious is the only Fisherman and Traducer nick obtainable should bo 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 oi the world. Owners of mares who are desirous to breed high priced youngsters should stick to winning Btrains 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 the ' world,

Piscatorious 1 first'- get whorj a yearling brought 200 guineas,- He was : shipped to Sydney to take part in the big- two-year-old events of New South 'Wales and Victoria, and since he landed Jin Sydney he has been purchased at the high figure of 700 guineas by a well-known New South Wales sportsman, After his performance in the Hawkesbury Guineas in September the " Town & Country Journal" stated that the owner of Kingfish had refused an offer of four figures for the colt. In speaking of this colt, the Australian sporting Ecribes always give him the prefix of the "handsome" Kinglislt, "Augur" in the "Australasian" says ho was not within 10lb of his best form, when he raced in the A.J.C. Dorby against Trii 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 purcness of blood, size and substance, His two-year-olds in Hawkes Bay, out of average mares, oannot be purchased under 60 guineas. Hermit is by Nowminater, by Touchstone. Blood will tell. Piscatorious has more pnro Tquahstono blood coursing through his voins than any other horse living, It is no idle boast to say that Piscatorious is tlio best bred sire south of the line, for uudoubt edly ho is, and, moreovor, he is in every respect what his pedigree would imply—a magnificent stamp of a thoroughbred race-

horse, possessing great powor, and full of stout and fast blood. No doubt the Hon, J. White's big success id through kcepiug strictly to winniug strains, The best horse he ever owned was Trident, by Robinson Crusoe, by Angler, by Fisherman. Some sportsmen aver that it is " White's luck." It is 110 such thing. It is his sound sense, and good judgment, that carrys that gentleman through, There is 110 secret in the matter, and lie knows that to breed winners, it is necessary to stick to winning families. In color Piscatorious is a beautiful dark brown, with black points, standing 16 hands 2in high, has a neat expressive head' (never a neater or cleaner head set on a neck), indicative of a good temper. His neck is long and mueoular, with windpipe well detached; his shoulders are deep and' well laid back, and good enough for anything. He's a grand topped'un. ' Piscatorious hurt himself in a wire fence when a youngster, and from the effects of this accident he has always suffered more or less during the whole time he was training. Despite all these drawbacks, when a threoyearold, lie started in fourteen races, won nine, and ran second twice. TERMS Thoroughbred Mares, Ten Guineas; Half-bred Mares, • Six Guineas.
