This ia as it should be, seeing that the Wairarapa has always' held its own in the production of racehorses, draughts, and olber usefuMock, and during the late hunting season it wits patent to every one that this district can hold its own in the'possession of good hunters wittfjjjKjj&'r. .part oEtheColony. x Amongst' the horses lately announced

". FITZHEKOULES a handsome thoroughbred by Yat« tendon-Peeress was bred by as genuine a sport as over visited a NewjZeoland racecourse—the late W;' Walters Esq; of Auckland. Fitz Hercules domes from a grand racing stock and up to.(h§time or" his withdrawal from tlie nt of an accident) was hjmself a good performer and woh tne'blue ribbon at Auckland. On account of his connection i willi' such horses as Grand Cheater and other's, Fitz Hercules should be patronised largely by breeders and Mr Mnngußon (bis owner) should have no difficult in Ming his list.'

DtLKE, ' the property of Mr Buick, is too well known to require more than passing reference. This horse has won himself a name a sire, and his breeding is equal to'anything in New Zoalaud being by Albion, oneof the best in Australia. Tho stock left by Dilke have already stamped him as a Birej of not only race horses, but a class of oattle that farmers will have reason to bo proud of, Mr Buick can rely on' a big season,

~ . MAHQUIS OF SALISBURY hails from the same stable and is by Lord Salisbury, one of the finest Clydesdales in the provincial district ofOtago.

BANfIWIOK, the latest arrival, iB now the property of Mr Cave, and will take the place of Piscatorious, who has been withdrawn. Jor the season. As a performer; Eandwick was one of the greatest horses of his day, placing to his oredifc many of the principal noes in New Zealand, at the same time carrying home top weights against some of the bjst racers of the time. In this horse the sportsmen of the Wairarapa will have an opportunity, of securing strains of the best blood ever imported to the colonies, and Mr Cave, should profit by his venture. KEMP is a well-known and popular coaohing Btalhon, and has left a lot of grand roadsters. These are now being favourably Bpoken cf,and areas a rule fine animals, suitable for saddle or trap. Consequently they are the class of horses the settler wants to breed. Only tho other day one of Kemp's stock, just broken, was sold for £25. Kemp is the property'of Mr Gunderwn, of Mauricevilloj who will travel him between that.place and Carterton,

He has been long enough in the district to prove his thorough worth and-.baa Eired colts tbat have fetched as high prices aa any draught stock in New Zealand. As usual Mr W. Hercook, of Carterton, will travel Hero this soason between Masterton and Groytown.
