Trident, byltobinson Crusoe, by Angler, by Fisherman. It will be seen from Me 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 Hsboinan and Traducer nick obtainable should be sufficient to entitle him to the respect of bleeders, Yearlings by Piscatorions, out of Thoroughbred marcs, wou d bring at miction from 100 to 150 guineas in any part oi the world. Owners i-i mai i s who are desirous to breed high pric d youngs'ers shou'd stick to winning strains „nd put their marcs to a horse bied on ths; lines of Piswitorious, wh.se breeding alone would command him a big season in any part of ihe woild, Pi-cuto bus' first get when a yearling brought 250 unineas. He was shipped to Sydney to take part in the big two-year-old evews of New South and Victoria, and since helmed in Sydney he has been purchased at tho high figure of 700 guineas by a well-known New South Wa en sportsman. Afier his pes formanue in the Hawkesbury Guineas in September the " Town & Journal" stated that tho owner of Kingfish had refused an offer of four blurts for the colt, In speaking of this colt, the Australian sporting serines always give him toe prefix of the "handsomo" Kingtish. "Augur" in the "Austiahisiau" says he was not within 101b of his best form, wheu he raced in tho A.J.C. Derby against Tri: dent. In Hawkes Bay Piscatorious has obtained Champion I'rizos two years in succession, and no matter what clas * of mare patronises him, the oreeder i 3 sure to pet ►omething that will recoup him for his outlay, on account of his pureness of blood, size and substance. His two-year-olds in Hawkea Bay, nut of average mares, cannot be purchased under GO guineas, Hermit is by Newminster, by Touchstone. Blood will tell, Piscatorious has 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 bied sire south of the line, for undoubt edly he is, and, moreover, he is in evory 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 Hon, J. White's big success is through keeping strictly to winniDg , strains. The best horse he ever owned was ' Trident, by Kobinson Crusoe, by Angler, by Fisherman. Some sportsmen aver that it is " White's luck," It is no such thing. It is his sound sense, and goo) judgment, that earrys that gentleman through. There is no secret in tlif matter, juid he 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 neuter or cleaner head set on a • neck), indicative of ag. od temper. His neck is long anil macular, with windpipe well detached; his shoulders are deep ari well laid back, and good enough for anythini He's a grand topped'uu. Piscatorious hurt himself in a wire few when a youugster, and from the effects < this accident he has always suffered more c less during the whole lime he was traininj Despite all thee drawbacks, when a three year old, he started in fourteen races, wo: nine, and ran second twice.

TO TRAVEL IN THE WAIRARAPA MSi m TRICT > Pure Clydesdale Stallion, Avon. AVON is a bay horse with black points, and stands 17 hands high, with plenty of bone and hair. He is come of a great family, His dam was sold at 800 guines when good mares were sold at a fourth of that price. She is out of a Blackleg mare-one of a family of four, out of the same dam, and the quartette, by Renfrew Jock, were the four best norseß ever bred in tho Oamarn district, AVON, by Avon Chief (150, N,Z,5.8.) bred by W. Boag, Esq,, Fendalton, near Christchurch, out of his famous prizo mare Grace Darling (30), by Prince of Kilbride, imported (602). Grace Darling, by Prince Charlie, imported (4 and 620). Grace Darling was the best mare that ever stood in New Zealand. She has been first and Champion at Christchurch many times, .beating the great Maggie Craig, Champion of Scotland. She was first in Duncdin in her class and champion of the yard. In fact her career is unprecedented. _; AVON'S dam, Gipsy, by Renfrew Jock (135) imported from Victoria; g sire Renfrew, imported from Scotland; g dam Jess, by Blackleg imported from Scotland, Renfrew Jock's dan. Rosu, by Crowden Lad, a famous Clydesdale, imported from Scotland by the:late David Nesbitt, Renfrew Jock was a most successful show horse, Before leaving Victoria he took many firsts, and he was three yeats in succession in ; Oamaru, Timaru and Dunedin, and Champion of the yard as well, from this history breeders will recognise the t they have in Avon not only a horse of good parts, but jan Entire of good lineage, a matter altogether different from a good looking horse,' The great point in horse breeding is to have a sire connected with good families of undoubted character. la the one case the Btock will bo uniformly good, while in the other case Individuals may surpass, but the general chaiacter of the stock will be inferior and diiappolntlpg, Nothing is more grievous to a breeder thw'to Terms, ft, payable by P,N, at first service, due January Ist, 1888.
