HORSE PARADE.

The annual horse parade under ie auspices of the Masterton ilturaland Pastoral Sooiety was aid in the yards of" Messrs Lowes ' id lorns, Renall-slreet, yesterday. bere was a large attendance of the nblic, and the display of stud stock 'V toited considerable interest, Several Jjr lembers of the Committee of- the ociety were present. In DRAUGHT STALLIONS lere was a poor show numerically peaking, only four animals being iown, Of these the centre of taction was Mr G. Watson's NIL DESPERAXDUM. . : ' This fine block colt, which is ising three-year old, was commented v»v—----n favorably by the majority nlookers, Standing 10J , hands '® ngh, with a measurement of seven ■% . ootsix inches around the girth,' his animal was tho picture of icauty. The symmetry, of Nil )esperandum is perfect and his hair ibundant. Mr W. Hercock's HERO, vhioh is a- beautiful dark bavj itanding sixteen hands<three inches iigh,' was also favourably commented upon. His action is good, liis bone iihinenso, and he has grand feet. As he is well-known in this Jistriot as a sure foal-getter, further - . comment is unnecessary. Mr W. ; v v Miller's clydesdalo v : Jjji GLENGARRIE, whose pedigree is so well-known, being by Rob Roy, out of R. Cockburn's mare Darling, was at his best, He is rising four years old, and has a wonderfully fir.e muscle and bone, The only other draught stallion present was Falloon Bros. STANLEY, ~ a fine dapple bay, of good proportions f\ and great muscle, He is one of tho v 'A. best horses in the district, and has an action which would do credit to ' any sire in tho colony. THOROUGHBREDS. The number of thoroughbreds shown was not large, but some of the finest and noblest looking animals one could wish to see were paraded. Amongst those most favorably commented upon was Mr W, E. Corlett's MASTER AGNES. A better pedigree than that of this champion hurdle racer coiild not be wished for. His stock has not, so far, been Been in this district, but in South Canterbury he has got such descendants &E( V , have earned the highest of all good judges as have seen him. He is a well shaped horse, and bis record as a racer is calculated to improve tin breed of racing stock in tho district. Master Agnes will stand at the Club Stables every Saturday from 10 till 8. Another fine looking chestnut was Mr Lyford's Forester, by Putin, from Gossip, by Tradncer, . standing sixteen hands two feet high ut and of fine proportions. It would be • difficult to find a more handsom& specimen of tho thoroughbred sire than Forester, He is woll-knownon the turf, having won important events in this and other districts. Mr R. J. Baker's iron grey roadster The Squire, by Voltigeur, bred by tho lato John Morrison Esq, is four years of age, of great substance, and good action, He has a good head and neok and is . in every way calculated to improve | the breed of Baddle and harness horses. In would be invidious to ooinmont upon tho many good I qualities of Mr A, W. Cave's PISOATORIOOS, who is so well known in this district.®^ Ho is a beautiful dark brown, with, I black points, and his pedigree oannot be beaten. Mr W. B. Buick's Dilk : ■ _ was also on tho ground. Tho pedigreo of this horse is well known j throughout tho Golony, being, as ho j is, the site of tho famous hurdle I racer Titokowaru. Mr Falloon j showed to considerable advantage in his sulky, the trotting stallion 1. Jf I _ Young Berlin, , who is a recent arrival from tlia j south. This is an American horse of j 801110 reputation, and comes from a. renowned trotting stock. Messrs , Williams and Beetham's ■ j Blackwood j was the only other thoroughbred shown, Ho is a trotting stallion, and j has a very handsome appearance:
