AVON is n hay horse with black points, and stands 17 hands high, with plenty of bono and hair. Ho is wine of a great family. His dam was sold at 800 guineas when good mares were sold at a fourth of that prico.

Renfrew Jock's dam Rose, by Crowdon Lad, a famous Clydesdale imported from Scotland, by tho late David Neshitt. Renfrew Jock was a niosr, successful: show. horso. Before leaving Victoria ho took many firsts, and ho was first for throe years in succession inOaniaru, Timaru, and Duncdin, and Champion of the yard as well. j.Frotn this history breeders will recognise that thoyhavo in Avon not only a horso 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 n! siro connected with good families of undoubted character. In the one case the stock will be uniformly good, while ill tho other case individuals may surpass, but tho general character of the stock will bo inferior and disappointing. Nothing is moro griovous ton breeder than to see weeds spring from a goodlooking siro.
