His dam was sold at , 800 guineas when good mares were sold i at a fourth of that price,. She is out of i a blackleg inare-ono of a family of four, out of the same dam, and the quartette, by Renfrew Jock, were the four best horses over bred in the Oamaru district.

In fact her career is unprecedented, AVOWS dam Gipsy, by Renfrew Jock (185) imported from Victoria; g Biro Renfrew imported from Scotland; gdam Jess by Blackleg imported from Scotland. Renfrew Jock's dam Rose, by Crowden lad, a famous Clydesdale imported from Scotland by tlio lato David Nesbitt. Renfrew Jock was a most successful show horse. Before leaving Victoria ho took many firsts, and lie W|i9 first for three years in succession in Oaiiiary, Tjmaru, and Dunedin, and Champion of the yard as well. From this luatory breeders willrecog. lmo that they havo in Avon not only a horse of good parts, but an Entire of good lineage, a matter altogether different to a good-looking horso. The great point in horse-breeding is to havo a sire connected with good families of undoubted character. In the one caso the stock will be uniformly good, while in the other caso individuals may surpass, but the general character of the stock will be inferior and disappointing. Nothing is moro grievous to a breeder than to see weeds spring from a goodlooking sire, Terms L 5, payable by P,N, at lirst service, duo January 1, 18S8. Groomago feo Us.
