He has also proved himself a getter of• first-class weight'carrying hacks, hunters and carriage horses, his stock having taken prizes at all the shows on the West Coast and in Christchurch. The colours he gets cannot be beaten, he never having sired anything but whole - coloured browns or bays with black points, and he possesses in a high degree that power so rare iu sires of assimilating with all classes of marcs. Also, the Heavy Draught Stallion, GENERAL FLEMING. General Fleming's sire is the great Young Banker (1351), bred by David Riddell, of Kilbowie, Scotland, imported to New Zealand by the Hon. M. Holmes. His sire, Banker, by Admiral out of Minnie by Rob Roy. Admiral's sire, Sir Walter Scott, was champion of Batteriea International Exhibition. Young Banker's name and fame have been ringing all over the Southern Hemisphere for the last dozen years, and it would be useless to expatiate on his career and to mention his successes at the stud, or to note the famous gets that have sprung from him would be superfluous. General Fleming (4 years, bred by Hon. M. Holmes) is a beautiful bay, and stands 17 hands high, with immense power, and is, without doubt, the grandest and heaviest colt for hi 3 years ever bred in the North Otago district. He is compactly built, and although his bone is very heavy, is of the right, clean, flat kind, with plenty of silky hair on his legs, and growing in the right place. Bell (dam of General Fleming) was bred by the late Mr Robert Stalker, out of the famous brood mare Kate, by (Cox's) Prince of Wales (imported); her sire was that famous horse Duke of Bucleugli. Bell herself was the very best filly ever bred in Otago, Mr Stalker refusing 200 guineas for her when rising 3 years old. Her filly by Youusf Banker, (full sister to General Fleming) has taken more prizes than one in the show ring, and afcer being second at Sydney Show was sold for £147. General Fleming has all the characs teristics of a high class and fashionably bred horse, and in short is the coming sire of New Zealand. His temper is excellent, he has a strong, sound constitution, and is naturally free frotn taint of auy kind.
