STALLION PARADE.

The annual stallion parade, under the auspices of the Musterton Agricultural and Paaiorul Association, was held yesterday afternoon at Messrs j Lowes and lorns' sale yards, Benallstrcet. The attendance was large and a good deal of interest was evinced in the stock shown, [n the draught class a splendid lot of animals were paraded, but blood stock was conspicuous by its absence, very few owners having ent?r«i their horses, In point of numbers the parade did not come up to that of last year, but us regards condition and the general appearance of the stud stock shown, it was equal to any parade ever held in Mastir.on. In draughts, Mr W. B. Buick'fl

''MARQUIS OF SALISBURY" (by Lord Salisbury, dam PrincebS of Wales) had many admirers, his general appearance being very favourably commented upon, Undoubtedly he is one of tho best horses in the district and should do . well this season, Mr John Hessey's " NIL DESrEIUNBUM," another well-known Masterloa sire, also looked exceedingly well and bigger than over. He has not yet done growing, and when he is anotiier year older will be ahead of anything in the district for size. As he oan claim good brocding and has proved beyond dispute that he can get good stock, his owner has just cause to be proud of him,'

"HERO," Mr W, Hercock'B favourite, whose reputation still remains unsullied, was 'again present; looking as well as ever. He is a line specimen of a well-bred Clydesdale, and has proved his value in the Wairarapa. A new strain in this class has been introduced by Mr 6. W. Deiler, of Carter tun, in the purebred Clydesdale stallion

" DIRECTOR," by Young Banker, out of Isabella 11. Director was bred by Mr John Beid, of Elderslie. He is a dark brown colour und rising eight years,' He is a horso of good proportions, well-, furnished, and is the stamp of a good sire all over. Messrs Falloon Bros. 1

" DUKE OF AROVI.E " is also new to this district, He brings wiih him a first-class record from the South, and can claim excellent breeding, being sired by the noted " Young Banker." He possesses a good temper and is admitted by competent judges to be a fine specimen of the draught class. Mr J, Harding's dark bay " GLADSTONE,"

one of the best known stallions in the Wairampa and Forty-Mils Bush districts was also present, and looked a credit to his owner. We must not forget to m enti on " XArOLEON,"

a handsnme light bay with white points, by Ben Lomond, owned by Mr J.J, Martin of Oamaru and a black Clydetdiile stallion owned by Mr fcJewell of the same town, named

" KINO OF SALISBURY'S," both recent ai rivals from the South, Boih horses were put up to auction but failed to find a purchaser. In thoroughbreds the renowned

" ADMINISTRATOR " who always comes in for a full share of admiration was present, looking quite up to his old form, His present owner (Mr G. W, Deiler) may safely look forward to a good season with the handsome roan, Iu this class Mr W, B, Buick's

" DILKE I ' a good looking site, and Mr J. Buckeridge's "eoamte" were the only blood horses paraded. In the coaching class Mr Hercock'B handsome stallion "MAZEPfA," looked exceedingly well and was very favourably commented upon, as was also Mr G, W. Delta's " FINANCIER " who looks the right stamp to get useful and showy harness horses.'

"hobinhood," owned by Messrs Jensen.and Krosp, of Kokotau, come in for a good deal of notico despite the fact that be was not got up for the occasion, having been worked all tho winter and ridden up to the parade from bis owners farm. He is a fine quiet-looking horse of immense bone and muscle, and stands very nearly seventeen hands high. Judging by his appearance be should sire some really useful horses. The list concludes with two trotting stallions, both of American origin. Tho first is Messrs Moodb' " YOUNG BERLIN," a very handsome animal in thp pink of condition. He appeared to great advantage in a light trotting machine with racing harness. Young' Berlin hag now stood in this district for the past two seasons and further comment on him is not needed as liis qualities are already well-known. The second is a new arrival rejoicing in the name of " CHICAGO "

which is certainly suggestive of his nationality. He is a lively looking animal and is said to be a fa'Bt one, His owner is Mr 0, H. Gayfer, of Masterton.
