Renfrow Jock was a most successful show horse.. Before ' leaving Victoria ho took many firsts, and 1 ho was first for three years in succession ' inOainaru, Timaru, and Dimedin, and [ Champion of the yard as well, ' From this history breeders will reoog- ' niso that they have in Avon not only a 1 horse of good parts, but ail Entire of [ good lineage, a matter altogether dif- ' foront to a good-looking homo. The 1 great point in horse-breeding is to have ' a sire connected'with good families of 1 undoubted diameter. In the one case the stock will be uniformly good, while ' iti the pther case individuals may stir--1 pass, but tile general character of the stock will bo inferior and disappointing. Nothing is inoro grievous to a breeder than to see weeds spring from a good: looking Biro. Terms L 5, payable by P.N, at first service, due January 1, 1888. Groomago fee ss.
