Trident, byKobinson Crusoe, by Angler, by Fisherman, It 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 l'iscatorious is the only Fisherman and Traducor nick obtainable should be sufficient to entitle hir to the respect of breeders. Yearlings by riseatorious, out of Thoroughbred mares, wou.d bring at auction from 100 to 150 guineas in any part ot the world. Owners of mans who are desirous to breed high priced youngsters should stick to wmniug strains and put their marcs to a horse bred on tha lines of wh-se breeding alone would command him a big season in any part of the world. l'iscatorious' first got when a yearling brought 250 guineas. He was shipped to Sydney to take part in the big two-year-old evems of Now South AYalcs and Victoria,

antlsiuce he hnded in Sydney lie has been purchased nt the liiyli figure of 700 guineas by a well-known New South Wa cs spoivsnian, After his performance in the Hawkesbury Guineas in September the " Town & Country Journal" stated that the owner of had refused an offer of four fij>ui'is for the colt. In speaking of this colt, the Australian spjrting acri'-es always gi've him tie picfix of the "handsome" Kingßsh. "Augur" in the "Ausfc-alasian" says he was not within 101b of his best form, when he raced iu the A.J.C. Derby against Tri; dent,

lu Hiiwkes Buy Pi-catorioiis has obtained Champion Tito two year," in succession, and no matter what oias. of mare pitroniscj hiin, the breeder is sure to j:ct lomtthing that will recoup him for his outby, on account of liia parcness of blood, size and substance. His two-year-olds in llawkes Bay, out of averag* mares, cannot be purchased under CO guineas. Hermit in by Kcwminster, by Touchstone. Bloud will tell. Piscatorious has more pure Touchstone blood coursing through his veins than any otlic hors- living. It is no idle boast to say that Piscatorious is the best bi ed tire south of the line, for undoiibt cdlyheis, ami, moreover, lie is in every respect what his pedigree would imply—a magnificent stamp of a thoroughbred racehorse, possessing great power, and lull cf stout and fast bl.ioil.

No doubt the Hun, J, "White's big success is through keeping st ict y lo winning strains. The best horse lie ever owned was Trident, by Kobiiison Cnuoe,. by Angler, by Fisherman, Some spoil-men aver that it is " White's luck." It is no such thing. It is his sound sense, and goo I judgment, that carry* tint gentleman through, There is no secret in th" matter, awl he knows that to breed winners, it is necessary to stick to winning families. In color l'iscatorious is a beautiful dark brown, with black points, standing JO hands 2in high, has a neat expressive head (never a ne.iter or cleaner head set on a neck), indicative of ag' od temper. His neck is long and lnucular, with windpipe well dehched; his shoulders are deep and well laid back, and goud enough for anything. He's a grand topnod'tin. Piscatoritius hurt himself in a wire fence when a youngster, awl from the effects of tins accident ne has always suffered more or less during the whole time he was training. Despite all the-c drawbacks, when a thiecycar old, he started in fourteen races, won nine, and ran second twice, TtlUlS Thoro'ighbred Mares, Ten Guineas; Half-bred Mures, Six Guineas, Two or more as per agreement, Monies payable on first service, by JAN., duo Kith January, 1888, Grass FREE until due notice lias been given of stinting, sifter which 3s Gd per week will be charged.

TO TRAVEL IN THE WAIRARAI'A DISj TRICT, ffHE Pure Clydesdale Stallion, Avon. AVON is a bay horse with black puts, ami stands 17 hands high, with plenty of bono and hair. He is conic of a great family,* 1 His dam was sold at 800 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 ¥, Boag, Esq., Fendalton, near Christchurch, out of his famous prize mare Grace Darling (36), by Prince of Kilbride, imported (002). Grace Darling, by Prince Charlie, imported (i and G2G). Gvaco Darling was the tat mare that ever stood in New Zealand, She has been first and Champion at Cluistchurch many times, beating the great ■Maggie Craig, Champion of Scotland, She was first in Dunediu 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 Olydesdah, imported from Scotland by the late David Ncsbitt, Renfrew Jock was a most successful show horse. Before leaving Victoria ho 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 haveJn 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 iii horse breeding is to have a sire connected with good families of undoubted character, Iu the one case the stock wdl bo uniformly good, while iu the other case individuals may surpass, but the general diameter 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, £4, payable by r,N, at first serrice, due January Ist, 1838, For full information apply to , .' • .
