Horatio, by Maribyrong, by Fisherman. Progress, by Angler. Trident, by Eohinson Crusoe, by Angler, by Fisherman. It will he 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 hir to the respect of breeders. Yearlings by Piseatorious, 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' 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 Hawkcsbury Guineas in September tho "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 ttio prefix of the "handsome" Kingfish. "Augur" in the "Australasian" says he was not within 101b of his best form, when he raced in tho A.J.O. Derby against Trit I dent,

In Hawkes Bny Piscatorious has obtained Champion Prizes t\to years iu successiou, and no matter what clasi of marc patronises him, Iho orcrtler is snro to get toincthuig that will recoup him for his outlay, on account of his pureness of Wood, size and substance, His two-year-olds in llawkes Bay, nut of average mares, cannot be purchased under GO guineas. Hermit in by Ncwminster, by Touchstone. Blood will tell. Piscatorintis has more pure Touchstone blood coursing through his veins than any other hors • living. It is no idle boast to say tint Piscatonous is tho btst uicd biro south'of the line, for undoubt edlylieis, ind, moreover, he is in every respect what his pedigree woukl 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 st'ictiy to winning strains. The best horse he ever owned was Trident, by Hobinson Crusoe, by Angler, by Fisherman. Some sportsmen aver that it is 11 ' White's luck," It is no such thing. It is his sound sense, and good judgment, that oarrys that gentleman through, There is no secret in tlip 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 10 hands 2in high, has a neat expressive head (never a neater or cleaner head set on a neck), indicative of a gcotl 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'tin. Piscatorious hurt himself iua 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.

TO TRAVEL IN THE WAIBABAI'A DISJ TKICT, Avon. AVON is a bay horse with black points, ami stands 17 bands high, with plenty of bone ami hair. He is como of a fjreat family. His dam was sold at SOO guinea 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 horses ever bred in the Oamaru district, AVON, by Avon Chief (150, N.Z.5.8.) bred by AV. Boag, Esq., Fendalton, near Christchurch, out of his famous prize inaro Grace Darling (36), by Prince of Kilbride, imported (002). Grace Darling, by l'rinco Charlie, imported (4 and 626), Grace Darling was the best marc that ever stood iu 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 dam Rose, by Crowdcn Lad, a famous Olydesdal';, 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 years in succession in Oamaru, Timaru and Duncdin, 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, hut 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 dimeter. In the ono case the stock will be uniformly good, while in- the other case individuals may surpass, but the general chaiacter of the stock will be inferior- and disappointing, Nothing is more grieVons'to a breeder thwi to eeo weeds sprfng"ffom a good looking sire, Terms, £4, payable by P.N. at first service, due January Ist, 1888.
