Trident, byHobinson Crusoe, by Anfder, by Fisherman. It wiil be seen from the abovo that the stout-hearted Fisherman has been eveu more to the Australian Turf than Traducer t'j the Now Zealand. The f:ict that Piscatorious is the only Fisherman and Traducer nick obtainable should he 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 prictd youngsters should stick to winniug strains and put their mares to a horse bred ou the lines of Piscatorious, whose breeding alone would command him a big season in any part of ihe world,

Pkcatorious' 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 hinkd in ■ Sydney he lias been purchased at the high figure of 700 gniueas by a well-known New South SVaies sportsman. After his performance in the Hawkesbury Guineas iu September tko "Town& Country Journal" stared that the owner of Kingfish had refused an offer of four iigurcß for the eolt. Ju sneaking of this colt, the Australian sporting scribes always give him the prefix of the "handsome" Kingfish. " Augur" in the " Australasian" says he was not within 101b of his best form, when he raced iu the AJ.C, Derby agaiust Trie dent, " *

Jn Hawkes Bay Piscatorious has obtained Champion Prizes two years iu succession, and no matter what clasi of mare patronise 3 him, the breeder is sure to get something that will recoup him for his outlay, on account of hia pureness of Wood, size and substauce, His two-year-olds in Hawkes Bay, out of average mares, cannot be purchased under 60 guineas. Hermit is by Ncwminstcr, by Touchstone. Blood will tell. Piscatorious has more pure Touchstone Mood coursing through his veins than any otlic" hone living. It is no idle boast to roy tint I'isca'.onoiw is the List hied tiro south of the lino, for uncloulit edly he is, find, moreover, lie is in every respect what his pedigree would imply—a magnificent stamp of a thoroughbred racehorse, pohseswng great power, and lull of stout and fast blood.

s\Q doubt the Hon, J, Wliite's big success in through keeping stiictly to winning strains. The beat horso ho ever owned was Trident, by Robinson C'nuoe, by Angler, by Fisherman, .Some sportsmen aver that it is " White's lack," It is no such thing. It is his sound sensa, and gooJl judgment, that carry* that gentleman through. There ia no secret in 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, et&iding 10 hands 2in high, has a nctt expresiive head (never a neuter or cleaner Head set on a neck), indicative of a geod temper. His Heck is long and muscular, with windpipe well detached; his shoulders are deep and well laid back, ami good enough for anything. He's a grand toptied'un.

liscatorioushurt himself iu a wire fence when a youngster, and from the effects of this accident lie has always suffered mote 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. TULMS - Thoro'Jghhred Mares, Ten Guineas; Half-bred Mares, Six Guineas.

Nothing is more grievous tea breeder thkn to see weeds spring from a gopd looking sire. Terms, W, payable by P.N. at first service, due January Ist, 1888, For full information apply to G.
