For pedigree and performances Fitz Hercules' dam stands unequalled in tho Southern Hemißphero. Peeress won two Canterbury Cups and Canterbury Jcckoy Club Handicap, bosides numerous other rnccs, and wa3 considered tho beat mare ot licr day. . Peeiosa' dam, Miss Howe, was tho best mare in Australia, and with Bob Kay in the saddle was new known to bo beaten. 1 Augur' tho sporting writer of the Australasian, says ho has known them to win every raco at a meeting in Mr Redwood's colours.

Before leaving Victoria he took many firsts, and ho was first for three years in succession inOamaru, Timaru, and Duiiedin, and Champion of tho yard as well, From this historyireoders will recog- [ nise that thoy have in Avon not only a ■ horse of good parts, but an Entire of 1 good lineage, a matter altogether dif- ' foreht to a good-looking horao, Tho 1 great point in horse-breeding is to have a sire connected with good families of • undoubtod character. In the one case ! the stook will bo uniformly good; whilo in tho other case individuals. may sin'. - pass, but tho general character of tho stock will be inferior aud disappointing. 1 Nothing is moro grievous to a breeder 1 than to seo weeds spring from a goodlooking siro.
