It will be seen from the above that the stont-lieavled Fisherman has been even move to the Australian Turf than Tralucer to the New Zealand. The fact that Piscatorious is tho only Fisherman and Traducer nick obtainable should be sufficient to entitle hir to the respect of breeders. Yearlings by I'iscatorious, out of Thoroughbred marcs, would bring at auction from 100 to 150 guineas in any part oi the world. Owners of mates who are desirous to breed

high priced youngsters should stick to winning strains and put their marcs to ft horse bred on ths linos o! wh"ise breeding alone would command him a big season in any part of the world, Piscatoiious' first got when a yearling brought 250 guineas. He was shipped to Sydney to take part in ihe big two-year-old events of New South Wales and Victoria, aud since ho lii'uled in Sydney he has been purchased at the high figure of 700 guineas by a well-known New South Woa sportsman. After his performance in tho Hawkcsbury Guineas in September tho '*Town& Country Journal" Etated that the owner of Kingfish had refused an offer of four figures for the colt, In speaking of this colt, tho Australian sporting scribes always give him the prefix of the "handsome" Kingtish, "Augur" in the "Australasian" says ho was not within 101b of his best form, when ho raced in the A,J,C. Derby against Tri; dent, In Hawkcs Bay Piscatorious has obtained Champion Vmti two years in succession, and no matter what olaa3 of marc patronises him, the breeder is sure to get something that will recoup him for his onthy, on account of his pareness of blood, size and substance. His two-year-olds in Hawltes Buy, out of average marcs, cannot be purchased under 00 guineas. Hermit is by Wowininster, by Touchstone. Blond will cell. Piscatorious has more pure Touchstone Wood coursing through his veins than any other hors- living. It is no idle boast to s;.y tint Pisca'.onous is the hist 'veil ire so.;ih of the:in.-, fo; nndoiibt eilly liu is, "lid. m-reovv.i', he is in every v. spec; what his pedigree would imply—a magiiiliceut stamp of a thoroughbred racehorse, possessing great power, and full of stout and last bh.od.

No doubt the Hon, J. White's big success ia through keying tt'ictly to winning strains. The best horse he ever owned was Trident, by Kobinson Crusoe, by Angler, by Fisherman. Pome iportsmeu aver that it is 11 White's luck." It is no such thing. It is his sound sense, and goo.' judgment, that carry* that gentleman through, There is no secret in the matter, and lie knows that to brcutl winners, it is necessary to stick to Winning families, In color Piscatorious is a beautiful dark brown, with black points, standing 1G hands 2in high, has a neat expressive head (never a neater or cleaner head set ou a neck), indicative of a good temper, His neck is long and mmcular, with windpipe well detached; his shoulders arc deop and well laid back, and good enough for anything, He's a grand topped'un. Piscatorious hurt himself in a wire fence when a joungster, and from the effects of tins accident he has always suffered more or less during the whole time lie was trainiug. Despite all these drawbacks, when a threeyear old, lie started in fourteen races, won nine, and ran second twice. TMIMS - Thoroughbred Mares, Ten Guineas; Half-bred Mares, Six Guineas.

TO TRAVEL IN THE WAIRARAPA DISTRICT, fHE Puro Clydesdale Stallion, Avon. AVON is a bay horse with black points, and stands 17 bauds high, with plenty of bone and hair. He is come of a great family. His dam was sold at SCO guines 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 tiie quartette, by Renfrew Jock, were the four best horses ever bred in the Oamavu district. ■AVON, by Avon Chief (150, N.Z.5.8.) bred by AV. Boag, Esq., Fendalton, 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 G2li). Grace Darling was tlio best marc that ever stood in New Zealand. She has been first and Champion at Cluistohurch many times, beating the great Maggie Craig, Champion of Scotland, Sho 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 Ros>!, by Crowdcn Lad, a famous Clydcsdal';, imported from Scotland by the late David itebitt, Renfrew Jock was a most successful show horse. Before leaving Victoria lie took many firsts, and he was three years in succession in Oamnru, Timaru and Dunedin, and Champion of the yard as well, From this history breeders will recognise that 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 character. In the one case the stock w'll 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 grievous to a breeder than to see weeds spring from a good looting sire, Terms, £4, payable by P.N. at first service, due January Ist, 1888. For full information apply to 6.
