PETERSBURG (.« years), is -a magnificent rich bay horse, with superb bono and substance, standi])" X 6.2, and considered by those coufpctent of judging, a perfect typo of sue. He was nred by Sir J. B. Reid, Elderslie, ami is eminently suitable for breeding champions of--the racing track, .hunters, and cavalry remounts. As a yearling St. Petersburg was purchased at a public auction at the C.J.C. November sales for 073 guinea?, the highest figure realised at that year's sales. He was raced as a youngster with great success, but. an accident placed him hors dc combat for a lime. However, he came back and won several good races, including the Waimate Cup (1> mite), 8.2; Waikouaiti Cup; Dunedm Welter, 9.4: Oamaru Welter, 9.4; Taranaki Welter, 7.12; Kawau Heap (l mile), 8.13; 2nd Hawcra Makes; 3rd Hawke's Bay Guineas, etc. St. Petersburg is by Kilcheran (imp.), who was a brilliant performer in England, where lie won 15 races, including the Liverpool Stakes of 2000 sovs. Among other line efforts, he ran ti furlongs at Manchester carrying 8.7 in HO 4 J, and won the Msitors' Pialc at Newmarket twice. Kilwaiiin, his sire, won the St. Legcr, and his dam, Emiui, was by Galopin, a Derby winner, and tire or'St. Simon'.

Derby, the Auckland Plate, and the New Zealand St. Legcr Stakes. As a two-J'car-oid, he won the C.J.C. Welcome Stakes the A.R.C. Mid-summer Hep., and the C.J C. Nursery Hep.
