TO TRAVEL IN THE WAIRARAI'A DISTRICT. mHE purebred Clydesdale StallionAVON, AVON is a bay horse with black points, and stands 17 hands high, with plenty of bono ami hair. Heiscomo of a great family.

AVON, by Avon Chiof, (150 N.Z.S.B). bred by W, Boag, Esq., Fondalton, near Christchurch, out of his famous prize umro Graco Darling (80) by Prince of Killbrido imported (602). Grace Darling, by Princo Charlie, imported (4 and 620). Grace Darling was the best mare that ever stood in New Zealand. She has been first and Champion at Christchurch ninny times, beating the great Maggio Craig, Champion of Scotland. She was first in Dunedin in her class and champion of the yard, In fact her career is unprecedented. AVON'S dam Gipsy, by Renfrew Jock (135) imported from Victoria; g siro Ecnfrew imported from Scotland; g dam Jess by Blackleg imported from Scotland. Hcnfrow Jock's dam Jloso, by Crowden Lad, a famous Clydesdalo imported from Scotland by tlie lato David Nesbitt. ltcnfrow Jock was a most successful show horse. Before leaving Victoria ho took many firsts, and ho was Brat for three years iu succession in Oamaru, Timaru, and Dunedin, and Champion of the yard as well. From this history brooders willrecogniso that thoyhavo in Avon not only a horse of good parts, but an Entire of good lineage, a matter altogether different to a good-looking horse. The great point in horse-breeding is to have a sire connected with good families of undoubted character. In the one case the stoek will be uniformly good, while in tho other caso individuals may surpass, but tho general character of the stock will be inferior and disappointing. Nothing is moro grievous to a breeder than to seo weeds spring from a goodlooking siro. Terms La, payable by P.N. at first service, duo January 1, 1888. Grouniago fee ss.
