AVON is a bay horso with black points; ami stands 17 hands - high; with plenty of bono anil hair, He is oonio of a great family, His dam was Bold at 800 guineas whon good mares were sold at a fourth of that prico. She is out of a blackleg mare-one of a family of four, out of the same dam, and tho quartette, by llonfiw Jock, werotho four best horses ever bred in the Oaniam district.

Renfrew Jock was a most successful show horse, Before leaving Victoria he took many firsts, and ho was first for.thrco years in succession inOamaru, Timaru, and Dunedin, and Champjon of the yard as if ell. . From this history breeders will recognise that thoyhavo. in Avon not only a horso of good parts, but, an. Entire of good lineage, a matter altogothpr dif : ferent to' a horsp. the great point in horso-breedmg is to, have, a siro connected ,witl| gqod faimlies of undoubted character In the one,* oase the stock will be uniformly good, whilo in tbo othor'caso individuals may aiirpass, but tho general character of the stock will be inferior and disappoiutmg. Nothing is more grievous to a breeder than to see woeds spring 'from a goodlooking siro. ' ~ ■ 'forms Llj, payablo by P.Niat first eprvico, duo January.},' }BBB.
