Yattention is credited with getting move winners than any other horse in the Australian colonics, ami his progeny—both horses and mares-arc following in lis footstops.

Yattciina, by Y&tlendon. is tho dain of Libeller, Fusilier, Matchlock and KingUi. The ahovo will show that Fito Herailca is one of the stoutest and best bred horses that has over been in this district, and with the cross of Tho l'cer and Sir Hercules blood should get the right S"ifc of horses, both for Hat racing, cross country, aud the Indian market.

He is oomo of a great family. His dam was sold at 800 guineas when good marcs were sold at a fourth of that price. Sho js pi)t of ajjlacklcg mare—one- of a family of four, out of the same dam, mid the quartette, by Renfrew Jock, were tho four best horses ever bred in Hie Oamaru district,

AVON, by Avon Chiof, (150 N.Z.8.8). bred by W, Bung, Esij,, Fondalton, near Christehureh, out of his famous pifao marc Grace Darling (i)li) by Prince of Killbrido imported ((302). Uraco Darling by Prince Charlie, imported (4 and ft!(j), Grace Darling was the best mavo that ever Btoud in Now Zealand, She has been first and Champion at Christchurch many times, boating tho great Maggie Craig, Champion of Scotland, Shu was first in Duncdiu in her class and cliampiuii of the yard, In fact her career is unprecedented. AVOWS dam Gipsy, by Ecnfrcw Jock (11)5) imported from Victoria;« sire ltpnfrov imported from Scotland; g dam Jess by Blackleg imported from Scotland.' llonfrpw Jock's'dam Rose, by Crowdon Lad, a famous Clydesdale imported from Scotland by tho date David Nesbift. Renfrew Jock was .a most successful show horso, Before leaving Victoria ho took many firsts, and he was first W three years in succession in Oamaru, Timaru, and Unniidjn, and Champion of the yard as woll. From this history brooders willrecogniso that thoy havo in Avon not only n horse of good parts, hut an Entire of good lincago, a matter altogether (lift fcrcnt to a good-looking hump.'. The great point in horse-breeding is to have a sire connected with good families of undoubted character. In the one case the stock will bo uniformly good, while in tho other caso individuals may surpass, but the general character of the stock will be inferior and disappointing. Nothing is more griovous toil brpcdpr than to seo weeds spring from a goodlooking sire. Tonus. Lu", payablo by P.N. at first service, duo January 1, 1888. Groomago fee ss.
