The annual parade of stallions under the auspices ol the Masterton Agricultural and Moral Association was held on Wednesday afternoon, The parade, both as regards attendance of the publio and entries of -stallions, was the largest yet seen in the Wairarapa. The list of entries included uitio thoroughbreds, one trottiiig, one coaching, uno puny, and seven draught stallions, making a total of nineteen stallions on parade, With one or two exceptions the horses wore in splendid show condition, In thoroughbreds ~

Ptoatowous by that famous sire Traduoer, dam Fanny Fisher, by Fisherman, looked the pink of condition, and was greatly admired. He is, without exception, one ofthomost migmficont thoroughbred horses imported into this district, If anything he appears to have improved in general appearance since last year's show.- Leaving Fiscatonolis we went across; the field and had a look at Fnz Hekoules, This is his first appoarance on a Masterton show ground. He is in color precisely the same as Piscatorious. He possesses immense bone and muscle, and is of an exceptionally quiet temper. Fits Hercnles wai bred by that jiutly famed breeder, Mr Walters, of Auckland, and is by the renowned sire Yatterdon,iain Peeress. The Wairarapa is 'indeed fortunate to have placed at their services two such valuable strains of blood as Piscatorioua and Fitz Horoulea, Our old favorite; -: ~ T"-----.-- r r i : Thb Premier. . . . entered tho ring and was well commented upon, and notwithstanding thb fact that he has been runniug out till within the past Jwo or' three weeks, ha reflected creditably on his owner.- \ , IORB MANDBVIUB,

Who is by the same sire a'B Fitz Herooles did not appear in his usual form. This was accounted for through his being on < the siok list, suffering from an: injured shoulder. Although haruly up to bis usual appearanco h'e was not .without admirers, many predicting he would leave stock bohind a credit to his'old sire Ya.tendon. Vowiom. A son of King Cole—Fenella, looked in good form and although he had not been off the grass more than three weeks, contrasted fayorably with the other sires. ■ Prairie Bird, ■ byQreyskin, dam, Lady Emily (impor ed), showed plenty .of form, but appeared somewhat rough; Ho should secure a gocd season from broedors who desire to hreed substantial cross-country horses. Mrßuick's Duke also put in an appearance, Ho is a dark bay shewiug plenty of bono and calculated to brtled good weight-carrying hacks.

a three year old son of Me of Edinburgh, out of Ruth, was ridden round the ring by Mr Venheil. The Opaki Champagne winner of last year looked in splendid form. He was merely paraded for inspection, and will be put up to auction to-day by Messrs Lowes and lorns incompany with Voltigeur and other tuoroUghbredo by order of the executors of the late J. C. Vallanco., ■ Administrator was included in tho list of thoroughbreds on parade. His .handsome appearance contrasted favorably with any horse in the ring. In coaching stallions thero were two entries, Mr Gunderson's Kemp and Mr Corbett's Bap d Euan, Both these horsos were in excellent condition and commanded a share of attraction. Tho former has turned out a much better horse than was generally .expected, and no doubt will meet with a hearty response in tho Bush Districts where his owner announces him to travel.

In Clydesdaleß tlioro wore sovon entries, amongst thorn being throo new comers, Messrs Falloon's Bros' Stanley being the first to show up. Ho is a beautiful dapple bay with white points, three years old, and stands between sixteen and seventeen hands. He is the son of Clydesdale Horo, who was bred by Mr Hodge, Green Hills, Victoria, Stanley has a splendid podigroo, and coining from hi; h class lineage he cannot fail to produoe good stock. Being a three-year-old his owners have limited him to twenty-five mares only. Mr Hercock's . ,

fell in for a share of eriticiani, 'Hois a dark bay with plenty of action, showing groat symmetry of form, with immense bone, and was bred by Mr Clark, of Ashburton, His splendid' appoarance also gained him many and admirers. As a yearling Hero took, first prize at Ashburton, and.a epeoial for the best on the ground, also a specialfor the beat yearling colt or filly by Kelvin, bjs Eire. As a two-year-old ho again took first prize at Ashburton and the seoond. at tho Christchuroh Metropolitan Bhow. Mr Stott's three-year-old . . LochDBU • ' \ Is also a new. arrival.. Ho is undoubtedly a grand oolt, and very docile. His.siro, Loch Fergus, and his dam, Countess, wore both iinportid. Hc'is a splendid specimen of >a draught, and when thoroughly furnished will be the makings of one : of tho grandest sires ill .the Wairarapa.
