Progress, by Angler. Trident, by Robinson Crusoe, by Angler, by Fisherman. It will bo seen from tho above that the stout-hearted Fisherman has been even more to the Australian Turf than Traducer to the New Zealand. The fact that Piscatorions is the only Fisherman and Traducer nick obtainable should be sufficient to entitle him to the respect of breeders. Yearlings by I'iscatorious, out of Thoroughbred mares, wou;d bring at auction from 100 to 150 guineas in any part or the world. Owners < f mau s who are desirous to breed high priced young3'.ers should stick to winuiug strains and put their niaros to a horse bied 011 llie line* ot Pisnatorions, whr.se breeding alono would command him a big seasoD in any part of the world. Pi.-catouous' lirst get when a yearling brought 250 guineas. He \m shipped to Sydney to take part in the big two-year-old events of New South Wales and Victoria, and since he lurled in Sydney he has been purchased at the high figure of 700 guineas by a well-known New South \Va!ea sportßman, 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 thiß colt, tho Australian sporting scribes always give him the prefix of the "handsome" Kingfish, " Augur" in the " Australasian" sayß he was not within 101b of his best form, when ho raced iu tho A.J.C. Derby against Tris dent,

In Hawkes Bay Piscatorious has obtained Champion Prizes two years in Buccession, and no matter what class of mare patronises him, the breeder is sure to get eomething 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 inares, cannot be purchased under 60 guineas, Hermit is by ticwminster, by Touchstono. Blood will tell. Piscatorious has more pure Touchstono blood coursing through _ his veins than any other horse living. It is no idle boast to say that Piscatorious is the best hied sire south of the line, for undoubt edlyheis, and, moreover, he is in every respect what his pedigree would imply—a magnificent stamp of a thoroughbred l'acehorse, 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 over owned was Trident, by liobinson 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 carrys 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 brown, with black points, standing 16 hands 2in high, has a Deat expressive head (never a neuter or cleaner head set on a neck), indicative of a good temper. His neck is long and muscular, 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 tho effects of this accident lie has always suffered more or less during the whole time he was training. Despite all the-e drawbacks, when a threeyear old, lie started in fourteen raceß, won nine, and ran second twice. Tt;RMS - Thoroughbred Mares, Ten Guineas; Half-bred Mares, Six Guineas.

TO TRAVEL IN THE WAIRARAPA DISj TRICT, Pure Clydesdale Stallion, Avon. AVON is a bay horse with black points, and Btands 17 hands high, with plenty of bono and hair. Ho is come of a great family. His dam was Bold at 800 guinea when good mareawerc 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 horses ever bred in the Oamaru district. AVON, by Avon Chief (150, N.Z.5.8.) bred by W. Boag, Esq,, Fendalton, near Christchurch, out of his famous prize mare Grace Darling (36), by Prince of Kilbride, imported (602). Grace Darling, by Prince Charlie, imported (4 and 62G). Grace Darling was the beat 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 Dunedin 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 daih :Rose, byCrowden Lad, a famous Clydesdale,, imported from Scotland by the late David Nesbitt, Renfrew Jock was a most Successful showiiorse. Before leaving Victoria he took many firsts, and he was three years in succession in Oamaru, Timaru and Dunedin, and Champion of the yard as well. From this history breeders will recognise thet tliey 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 is to have a sire connected with good families of undoubted chiraoter. In the one case the stock will be uniformly good, while in the other case individuals may surpass, but the general chatacter of the stock will be inferior and Nothing is more grievous to a breeder than to see weeds spring from a good looking sire. : Terms, £4, payable by P.N. at first service, due January Ist, 1888, For full information apply to G.WATSON, " 2697 . i Proprietor;
