From tliia history breeders will recognise that thoy have in Avon not only a horse of good parts; but an Entire of Koodlineajjo, a matter altogether different to a good-looking horse. Tho great point in horse-breeding is to have a sito connected with good families of undoubted character. In the one case the stoafcwill be uniformly good, whilo in tho other case individuals may surpass, but the general character of the stock will be inferior and disappointing. Nothing is moro grievous ton breeder than to seo weeds spring from a' goodlooking siro.
