TERMS—£2IOs pot maro, Fur further particulars apply to JOHN DEVONSHIRE, TO TRAVEL IN THE WAIRARAI'A DISTRICT. (J(HE purebred Clydesdale Stallion— AVON. AVON is a bay liorso with black points, and stiinds 17 hands high, with plenty of bone and hair.' He is come of a great family. His dam was sold at 81)0 guineas when good raaros wero sold at a fourth of that prieo, Slio is out of a blackleg mare—ono of a family of four, out of the samo dam, and the quartette, by ltenfrow Jock, were the four bcßt lioraos over bred in the Oauiaru district. AVON, by Avon Chief, (160 N.Z.S.B). bred by W, Boag, Esq,, Fondalton, near Christchurch, out uf his famous prize maru Grace Dirliotf (3li) by Prince of Killbrido imported (602). Uraco Dar. ling, b) Prince Charlie, imported (land 626), Grace Darling was tliu best mare that ever stood in Now Zealand, bho lias beou first aud Champion at Christchurch many times, beating the great Maggie Craig, Champion of Scdand. slut was first in Uuiicdin in her cl ibs and champion of the yard, In fact lior caruoris unpieccduntud. AVON'S dam Gipsy, by Renfrew Jock (13o) imported from Victoria; g Biru Renfrew imported fp in Scotland; g dam Joss by Blackleg imported from Scotland, Renfrew Jock's dam Rose, by Crowden Lad, a famous Clydesdale imported from Scotland by the lato David Nesbitt Renfrew Jock was a most successful 6huw horse. B.fore leaving Victoria ho tank many firsts, and ho was first for three years in succession in Oamaru, Timaru, and Uimedin, and Champion of the yard as well. From this history breeders will recoguiso that tlioy have m Avon not only a horse of good parts, but an Entire of good lineage, a matlor altogether differont to a good-looking horse. The great point in horse-breeding is to have a sire connuoted with gond families of undoubted character. In the one case the stock mil be uniformly good, whilo in the other ease individuals may surpass, but tho genoral character of the stock will bo inferior and disappointing. Nothing is inoro grievous to a breedor than to seo weeds sprine; from a goodlooking sire.
