Renfrew Jock's dam Rose, by Crowden Lad, a famous Clydosdalo imported' from Scotland by tho lato David Nesbitt. Renfrew Jock was a most successful show horse. Before leaving Victoria ho took many Grata, and bo was Drst for three years in succession in Oamaru, Timaru, and Dunedin, and Champion of the yard as wol), From this history breeders will recognise that they haro in Avon not only a horse of good parts, but an Entire of good lineage, a. matter altogether different to » pnßjl-looking liurso.
