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 Piscatorious is the only Fisherman and Traducer nick obtainable should be sufficient to entitle hie 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 <>f mares who are desirous to breed high priced youngsters should stick to winning strains and put their mares to a horse bred on th.: lines of 'Pisiuturimis, wh se breeding alone would command him a big se son in any part of the world. Pidcatorimw' first get. when a yearling brought 250 guineas. He was shipped to Sydney to take part in the big two-year-old even's of New South Vales and Victoria, and since he lin led in Sydney he has been purebred at the high figure of 700 guineis by a well-known New S'.nth Wa o< spor sman. Afier his pci formance m the HawkesburyGuinias in .-cpttmbcr the "TownS Country Journal" fta-ed that the owner of had refused an offer of four figures for the colt. In speaking of this colt, the Australian sp;>rtiug 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 lie raced in the A.J.C. Derby against Trif dent,

In Hawkesßiy l'iscatorious lias obtained Champion Frizes two years in succession, and no matter wlwt ulasi of mare pitronisej him, the urecder is sure to pet something that will recoup him for his outlay, on account of his puxMHtof blood, size and substance, .iiLtifawkej. Bay, out oj hased la" ho is in every IRi hia pedigree would 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 strictly to winning strains. The best horse he ever owned was Trident, by Robinson 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 good judgment, that uarrys that gentleman through, There is no secret in the matter, and lie 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 1G hands 2in high, has a neat expressive head (never a neater or cleaner head set on a neck), indicative of a good 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 agrand topped 'un, Piscatorioua liurb himself in a wire fence when a youngster, and from the effects of this accident t;e lias always suffered more or less during the whole time lie wa3 training. Despite all these drawbacks, when a threeyear old, he started in fourteen races, won nine, and ran second twice, TERMS Thoroughbred Mares, Ten Guineas; Half-bred Hares, Six Guineas.

Proprietor, TO TRAVEL IN THE WAIRARAI'A DIS TKICT, 'pilE I'urc Clydesdale Stallion, A von. AVON is a bay 'iisovitli black points, and stands 17 hands big,, with plenty of bone and hair. He is come of i» >eat family. 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 Joclc, were the four best horses ever bred in the Oamaru district, AVON, by Avon Chief (150, N.Z.5.8.) bred by W. Boag, Esq,, Fendalton, near Christchurch, out of his famous prize mare Grace Darling (3G), by Prince of Kilbride, imported (CO2). Grace Darling, by I'iincc Cliarlie, imported (-1 and C2G). 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 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 Crowden Lad, a famous Clydesdalo, 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.D.unediu, aifd Champion of the yard as woll,■' ■• •

From this history breeders will • recognise that they have in Avoniuot.only ahorsoofgood parts, but anJntifc 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 i-.clnracter. Iu the one caso the stock will be uuifotmly. 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 ii; scf).ivccds Billing from a good looking sire, "Terms, HA, payable by P.
