Before leaving Victoria ho took many firsts, aud lie was first fur three years in succession iuOanmru, Timaru, and Uunedin; and Champion of the yard as well, ; From this histoiy breeders will recognise that thoy have in Avon nut only a horao of good parts, but an Entire of good liiifiiigo, a matter altogether different to a good-looking horao, The great point in horse-breeding is to have a siro connected with good families of undoubted character. India one caso the stock Will be uniformly good, while' in tho other case indivic'uiila may surpass, but the general character of the stock will bo inferior and disappointing. Nothing is more grievous to a breeder than to see weeds spring from a goodlooking siro. Terms L 5, payable by. P.N. at first forvice, due January 1, 1888.
