RUFUS, bred by his owner at Manaia, admittedly comes rom a pure Clydesdale strain on both sides, and bears evidence of this by the fact that, as regards size, powerful build, symmetry, and height, he is equal to the finest horso that has yet been imported, and is acknowledged as the best horse over shown in this district. TEEMS—£4—all marcs guaranteed, and no money demanded till the owner is satisfied that his mare is stinted.

Cave's Farn, 'i'e Ore Ore. PISCATORIOUS by Traducer (imp.) out of Fanny Fisher, by Fisherman (imp.) out of Coquette (imp.) by Laur.celot, winner of English Derby and full brother to Touchstouo. Traducer by The Libel, by Pantaloon' The Libel out of Pasquenade, fall sister to Touchstone, The recent performance of the above Sire's first get—KING FIS H—beating such flyers as Acme, Tamarisk, Crossfire, Gentility, Lord William, and others in the Hawkesbury Guineas in the best Australian record of 140 proves his ability to get Champions among Champions. Martini-Henry's dam Sylvia, by Fisherman, out of Juliot, by Touchstone, "foundr.r of a lino of Kings." Musket, by Toxopholite, by Longbow, by Ithuriel, by Touchstone. Musket's grand-daw Brown Bobs was by Camel, siro of Touchstone, the renowned.

Horatio, by Maribyrong, by Fisherman. Progress, by Angler. Trident, byEobinson Crusoe, by Angler, by Fisherman. It will be seen from the above that the stout-hearted Fisherman has been even more to the Australian Turf than Traducer to the New Zealand. The fact that Piseatorious is the only Fisherman and Traducer nick obtainable should be sufficient to entitle him to the respect of breeders. Yearlings by Piseatorious, out of Thoroughbred mares, would bring at auction from 100 to JSO guineas in any part oi the 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 Piseatorious, whose breeding alone would command him a big season in any part of the world, Piseatorious' first get when a yearling brought 250 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, in 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 scribes always give him the prefix of the "handsome" Kingfish, " Augur" iu the " Australasian" says ho was not within 101b of his best form, wlion he raced in tho A.J.C. Derby against Trit dent.

In Hawkea Bay Piscatorious has obtained Champion Prizes two years iu succession, and no matter wh-it clasi of mart patroniso3 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-olds in Hawkes Bay, out of average mares, cannot bo purchased under 60 guineas. Hermit in by Kowminster, by Touchstono. Blood mil tell. Piecatorious lias more pure Touchstone blood coursing through his veins 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 edly lie is, and, moreover, he is in every respect what his pedigree would imply—a magnificent stamp of a thoroughbred racehorse, possessing great power, and full of stout and fast blood. No doubt the Hou, J. White's big success ia through keeping strictly to winning strains. The best horse lie ever owned was Trident, by Uobinson Crusoe, by Angler, by Fisherman. Some sportsmen aver that it is " White's lack." It is no such thing. It is his sound sense, and good judgment, that carrys that gentleman through. Thera ia no 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, lias a neat expressive head (never a neater or cleaner head set on a neck), indicative of a good temper. His neck is long and muscular, with windpipe well detached; bis shoulders are deep and well laid back, and good enough for anything. He's a grand topped'un. Piscatorious hurt himself iu a wire fence when a youngster, and from the effects of this accident he has always suffered more or less during the whole time ho was (raining, Despite all these drawbacks, when a threeyear old, he started in fourteeu races, won nine, and ran second twice. ; TERMS - Thoroughbred Mares, Ten Guineas; Half-bred Mares, Six Guineas, Two or more as per agreement.
