Traducer hy The Libel, by Pantaloon. The Libel out of Pasqucnado, fall sistor to Touchstone, The recent performance of the above Sire's first get—KINGRJSH— beating such flyers as Acme, Tamarisk, Crossfire, Gentility, Lord William, and others in the Hawkesbury Guineas in the best Australian record of 1.40 proves his ability to get Champions among Champions. Martini-Henry's dam Sylvia, by Fisherman, out of Juliot, by Touchstone, "founder of a line of Kings," Musket, by Toxopholite, hy Longbow, by Ithuriel, by Touchstone.

Ic 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 Piscatorious is the only Fisherman and Traducer nick obtainable should be sufficient to entitle him to the respect of breeders. Yearlings by Piscatorious, out of Thoroughbred mares, 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 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 the world, Piscatorious' first get when a yearling brought 250 guineas, He was shipped to Sydney to tako part in the big two-year-old events of New South Wales and Victoria, and since he landed in Sydney ho has been purchased at the high figure of 700 guineas by a well-known Now South Wales sportsman, After his performance in the Hawkcsbury Guineas in September tho ''Town4 Country Journal" stated that the owner of Kinglish 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" Kinglish, "Augur" in the "Australasian" says he was not within 101b of his best form, when he raced in the AJ.C. Dorby agaiust Trij dent, In Hawkeß Bay Piscatorious has obtained Champion Prizes two years in succession, and no matter what clas3 of inare patronises him, the breeder is sure to got 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 be purchased under 60 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 bred sire south of the line, for undoubt edly he 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 Hon, J. White's big success is through keeping strictly to winning strains. The best horse he ever owned was Trident, by Eobinson 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 good judgment, that carrya that gentleman through. There is no secretin the matter, and he knows that to breed winners, it is necessary to stick to winning families. In color Piscatorious is a beautiful dark brow, 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 muECular, with windpipe well detached; his shoulders are deep and well laid back, and good enough for anything, He's a grand topped 'uu. 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 threeyear old, he started in fourteen races, won nine, and ran second twice. TERMS - Thoroughbred Mares, Ten Guineas; Half-bred Mares, Six Guineas.

TO TRAVEL IN THE WAIRARAPA Dlß] TRICT, JHE Pure Clydesdale Stallion, Avon. AVON is a bay horse with black points, and stands 17 hands high, with plenty of bone and hair. Hoiscomoof a great family. His dam was sold at 800 guinea when good mares were sold at a fourth of that price. Sho is out of a Blackleg marc—one of a family of four, out of the same dam, and tho quartette, by Renfrew Jock, were the four best horses ever bred in the Oamaru district. • AVON, by Avon Chief (150, N.Z.5.8.) bred by W. Eoag, Esq,, Fendalton, near Christchurch, out of his famous prize mare Graoo Darling (36), by Prince of Kilbride, imported (602). Grace Darling, by Prince Charlie, imported (4 and 626). Graco Darling was tho best mare that ever stood in New Zealand. She has been first and Champion at Christchuroh many times, beating the great Maggie Craig, Champion of Scotland. She was first in Dunedin in herplass 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 Joss, by Blackleg imported from Scotland. Renfrew Jock's darn Rose, by-Crowden Lad, a famous Clydesdale, imported from Scotland by the late David Neabitt. Renfrew Jock was a most successful show horse. Before leaving Victoria he took many firsts, and he was three years in succession in Oamaru, Timaru and Dunedin, and Champion of tho yard as well, From this history breeders will recognise that they have in Avon not only a horse of good parts, but an Entire of good lineage, a matter altogether different from a good looking horse, The great point in horse breeding iB to have a sire connected with good families of undoubted character. In the one case the stock will be uniformly good, while in tho other case individuals may surpass, but the general character of the stock will be inferior and disappointing. Nothing is more grievous to a breeder than to Terms, £4, payable by P.N, at first Bervice, due January lit, 1888. For full information apply to G.WATSON, 2697 Proprietor
