In our advertising columns will be found the horse's pedigrep and description. Stonewall Jackson was a horse of this class, and many settlers who used him during bis short stay in Waikato havo often regretted his going away. This horse has left some excellent stock—good upstanding weight-carriers—a class of horse specially suited to the requirements of the [nditn market for artillery and cavalry remount*. With such a horro as Mountaineer, the prosecution of breeding this class of stock may again be undertaken.
