AVON. AVON is a bay horso with black points, and stands 17 hands high, with plenty (if bono iiml Imii'. Hciaoonio of ut great family. His duiu was sold at 800 guineas when good inures were sold at a fourth of tlmt ptico, Sho is out of a blackleg marc—one of a family of four, out of the same dam, and tho quartette, by llonfaw Jock, were the ■ four best horses ever bred in the Oamaru district. AVON, by Avon Chief,(loo N.Z.S.B). bred by \V, Bong, Esq,, Fendalton, near Christchurcli, out of his fumous prize nmro Grace lhrliug (<)0) by Prince of KiUbride imported (WW). Grace Darling, by Prince Charlie, imported (4 and GUG). Grace Darling was tho best inare that ever stood in New Zealand. She hits been first and Champion at Christcliui'ch many times, boating tho great Maggie Craig, Champion of Scotland. She was iirst in Duiiedin in hor class and champion of the yard, In fact her career is unprecedented. AVON'S dam Gipsy, by Renfrew Jock (lilu) imported from Victoria; g sire Renfrew imported from Scotland; g dam Jess by Blackleg imported from Scotland. Renfrew Jock's dam Hose, by Crowden Lad, a famous Clydesdale imported from Scotland by the late David Ncsbitt, Renfrew Jock was a most successful show horse, Before leaving Victoria ho took many firsts, and he was first for three years in succession in Oamaru, Timaru,'andDunedni, and Champion of the yard as well. From this history breeders will recognise that they have in Avon not only ut horse of good parts, but aii Entire of good lineage, a matter altogether different to a good-looking homo. Tho great point in horso-brcoding is to have n sire connected with good families of undoubted character, In the one case the stock will be uniformly good, while ill tho. oilier aiso individuals way surpass, but the general character of the stock will be inferior and disappointing. Notliiugismore grievous ton breeder than to see weeds spring front a goodlooking siro. Terms L 5, payable by f.N. at first forvicu, duo January 1, 1888.'
