>y Fisherman. . It will be seen from the above that the tout-hearted Fisherman has been even more o the Australian Turf than Traduccrto the s T e\v Zealand. The fact that Piscatorious is he only Fisherman and Traducer nick tamable should bo sufticicutto entitle hit' ;o the respect of breeders. Yearlings by Piscatorious, out of Thoroughbred mares, rould 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 marcs 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. Ho was shipped to Sydney to take part in the big two-year-old events of Now South Wales and Victoria, and since lie lmicd 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 Hawkesbury Ciuintas iu September the "Townfc Country Journal" stated that the owner of Kiugfish had refused an offer of four figures for the colt. In speaking of this colt, the Australian spurting scribes always give him the prefix of the "handsome" Kingtish. " Augur" in the " Australasian" says he was not within 101b of his best form, when he raced in the A.J.C. Derby against Tri: dent, In Hawkes Uiy Piscatorious has obtained Champion Trims two years in succession, amino matter what class of mart patronises ,him, the breeder is sure to get tomi-thing 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 bo purchased under 00 guineas. Hermit is by Ncwminster, 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 Eire south of the line, for undoubt edly he is, Mid, moreover, he is in every respect what his pedigree would imply—a magnificent stamp of a thoroughbred racehorse, possessing great power, and full oi stout and fast blood. No doubt the Hon. J. White's big success is through keeping stuctly to winning strains. The best horse he ever owned was Trident, by Uobinson 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 gooi judgment, that carrj'3 that gentleman through. There ij nc secret in the matter, and ho knows that tc breed winners, it is necessary to stick tc winning families. In color Piscatorious is a beautiful darL brown, with black points, standing l(i hands 2iu high, has a neat expressive head (never a neater or cleaner head set oa i neck), indicative of a good temper. His neck is long and muscular, with windpipe well detached; his shoulders are deep ami well laid back, and good enough for anything, He's a grand topped 'tin. Piscatorious hurt himself in a wire feuct when a youngster, and from the effects oi this accident lie has always suffered more oi less during the whole time he was training, Despite all these drawbacks, when a threeyear old, lie started in fourteen races, woi

nine, and ran second twice. TERMS Thoroughbred Mares, Ten Guineas; Half-bred Mares, Six Guineas, Two or more as per agreement.

For Particulars apply groom in charge, arthuu McCartney, _ Proprietor, TO TRAVEL IN THE WAIRARAPA DISj TRICT, r pE 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 games when good marcs were sold at a fourth of that price. She is out of a ]slacklegmare—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.S.L.) bred by l!oag, Esq,, Pcmlalton, near Christchurch, out of his famous prize marc Grace Darling (30), by Prince of Kilbride, imported (002). Grace Darling, by Prince Charlie, imported (4 and 028). 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 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 she Renfrew, imported from Scotland j g dam Jess, by Blackleg imported from Scotland, Renfrew Jock's dam Rose, by Crowdeu Lad, a famous Clydesdah, imported from Scotland by the late David Ncsbitt. Renfrew Jock was a most successful show horse. Before leaving Victoria he took many firsts, and ho was three years in succession in Oamaru, Timaru and Dnncdin, and Champion of the yard as well, From this history' breeders will recognise thet 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 is to have a sire connected with good families of undoubted clniactcr, Iu the one caso the stock will he uniformly good, whilo in the other case individuals may surpass, but the general chai actor of the stock will be inferior and disappointing. Nothing is more grievous to a breeder than to see weeds spring from a good looking sire, Terms, i' 4, payable by P.N. at first service, due January Ist, 1888. For full information apply to.
