Ho is come of a great family, His dam was sold at 800 guineas when guod mares were sold at a fourth of that prico,' She is out of a blackleg maro—one of n family of four, out of tho same dam, and the quartotto, by Renfrew Jock, were tho four bi!6t horses over bred in tho Oamaru district, AVON, by Avon Chief, (150 N.Z.S.B), bred by W, Boag, Esq., Fondulton, near Christchurch, out of his famous prize maro Grace Dirlins; (3li) by Princo of KiUbrido imported (602). Grace Darling, bj Princo Charlie, imported (4 and 626), Graco Darling was tho best maro that over stood in Now Zealand, Sho has been first aud Champion at Christchurch many times, beating tho great Maggio Craig, Champion of Scotland. Sho was first in Diiuedin in hor class and champion of tho yard, In fact hor career is unprecedented. AVON'S dam Gipsy, by Renfrew Jock (135) imported from Victoria ; g Biro Renfrew imported from Scotland; g dam Jess by Blackleg imported from Scotland. iKonfiw Jock's dam Roso, by Crowdon Lad, n famous Clydesdale imported from Scotland by the Jato David Nesbitt. Renfrew Jock was a most suecessiul show horse. Before leaving Victoria ho took many firsts, and ho was first for three years in succession in Oamaru, Timaru, nnd Dunedin, and Champiou of the yard as well. From this history bruotlers willrecog .liiso that they have in Avon not only a horso of good parts,' but an Entire of good lineage, a mattor altogether, different to ut good-looking horso. Tho great point in horse-breeding is to have a siio connected with good families of undoubted character. In the one case the stock will be uniformly good, while in tho other case individuals may surpass, but tho gonoral character of the stock will bo inferior aud disappointing. Nothing is more grievous to a breeder than to bpo woeds spring from a good looking siro. Terms L 5, payable by P.N, at first sorvice, due January 1.1888.
