DEL PASO was imported from America by the Hon. vieorge M'Lean; his sire, Albert W. \(recohi 2 20), won 2 > heats better than 2 30. He is the sire of Little Albert (2 17); Dudley Alcott, 3yrs (2 26|) ; and flowing Tide, pacer (2 22). Electioneer, aire of Albert W, left such good performers as Sonul (28), Palo Alto (2 8), Manziaita (2 16), Anteeo (2 16£), Adair (2 17), Lot biocu.u (2 17£), Aorval (2 17£), Bomta (218 i); and 90 others with records better than 2 30. DEL Pa SO for two successive years was also awarded Champion Certificates at the Dunediu Horse Parade, on both occasions beating highly-bred competitors. In referring to Del Paso an American paper says:—" There was always-a stiong bond of trieudship between the Hon George M'Lean, of New Zealand, and Mr J B Haggin,~oi tiancho del Paso, and the friendship was manifested in many ways. Amongst the most noticeable, however, was the presentation by the latter of Del Paso, uhe good son of Albert W (2 20), to the Hon George M'Lean. There is no doubt tnat Mr rjaggtn selected for this gift the best son of Albert VV on the farm. The breeding is intensely strong on trotting dues, and DliL PAtiO should prove a great success as a sire in New Zealand, where there are so many mares whode bloou line* will blend well with hi?, iiis dam was a beautiful fine-skinned mare called Augusta, shew sby the <est-coated and .-uiooohe'it-iot.'h.u.j; stallion I ever saw. He was called Gus (2 26£), by Millimau's Bellfounder, he by American liellfounder, son i<i Morse Horse 6; his uam was by Engi.jcjr LI. Milluuan's Bellfounder sired a number in the 2 "!(, list, and his blood has always been considered good by Caiifomian horse breeders. Cua (2 26J) was out of a mare without a known pedigree, nut there l gver was a rotd mare of ber time that euuld throw dust into her face ; her fame a's Limy Moyes (2 40) was widespread. Augusta's dam was called Beta, and s;ie was by that good representative of the Ulay i'uuiuy, tfeorge M Patchen, Jr, (2 27), a horse whose history and performances, as well as those of Ins lesceudauts, will fill a large chapter in the chronicles ot the Trotting track-, of America.'"
