TO TItAVEL IX THE WAIKAItAI'A DISTRICT. ' rnIJE purebred Olydosdnlo Stnllion— AVON. AVON is n bay horao with blaok points, nnd stniuls 17 Imnds high, with ploiityof bono and hair. Ho is oomo of a groat family. His ibun was sold at 800 guineas wlion good mares wore sold nt a fourth of that price. Sho.is out of ' a blackleg maro-ono of a family of four, out of tho sumo dam, and the piitctto, by llonfrow .Jock, were tho four best horses ever bred in the Oamaru district. AVON, by Avon Ohief, (ICO N.Z.S.B). bred by W, Bung, U«j., Fcndalton, near Christchurch, out of his famous prizo j mate Uraco l)iilio!j (Oli) by I'rinco of KiUbrido imported (BO'J). Grace Darling, by Princo Charlie, imported (4 and Mli), Ornco Darling was tho best move that ever stood' in New Zoaland. Sho lias been first and Champion at Christchurch many times,' beating tho great Maggio Craig, I ' Champion of Scotland. Shu was first in Duncdin in hor class and champion of the yard. In fact hor career is unprecedented. AVON'S dam Gipsy, by Eenfrow Jock (11)5) imported from Victoria; g giro llonfrow imported from Scotland; g dam Jess by Blackleg imported from Scotland. llonfrow Jock's dam Hose, by Crowden Lad, a famous Clydosdalo imported from Scotland by tho late David Nesbitt. ltenfrow Jock was a mosc successful show horse. Before leaving Victoria ho took many firsts, and ho was first for tlireo years in succession in Oamaru, Timaru, nnd Dunedin, and Champion of the yard as well. From this history breeders will recognise that they liavo in Avon not only a horsoof good parts, but an Entire of good lineage, a mattor altogether different to a good-looking horso. Tho great point in horso-brceding is to liavo a siro connected with good families of undoubted character. In the ono caso the stock will bo uniformly good, whilo in tho othorcase individuals may sur-. pass, but tho general cliaractcr of the stock will bo inferior aud disappointing. Nothing is moro griovous to a breeder than to seo weeds spring from a good l looking siro. Torms L 5, payable by P.N. at first servicej duo January 1,1888. Groomago feoOs.
