I*o TRAVEL this season in the Clutha and Surrounding Districts, the Purebred Clydesdale Stallion ORPHAN BOY. PEDIGREE: ORPHAN BOY is a beautiful dark bay horse, rising eight years, and stands fully 17 hands high, with splendid feet and pasterns, and good clean flat bone, and is a very heavy horse. His sire, Wee Macgregor, won first and champion at Dunedin as a threeyear old, and was got by the celebrated Clydebank (imp.), out of Jean, by Lord Salisbury (imp.). Clydebank (imp., 481 N.Z.5.8.) won 28 first, eight special and 12 champion prizes, as well as first for stallion and progeny. His prizes include:—First prize at Campbelltown in Scotland, in 1897; first and champion at Dunedin in 1898; first and champion prizes at Dunedin, Taieri, Milton and Balclutha shows in 1899; first and champion prizes at Taieri and first at Dunedin. ORPHAN BOY'S g-g-sire, Primus (8897 C.5.8.), gained as a three-year-old second prize at the Glasgow and Ayr open shows. G-g-g-sire, Prince of Wales (673 C.5.8.), won first prize at the H.S. show at Edinourgh in 1869; second at H.S. show, Dumfries, in 1870; first at H.S. show, Kelso, in 1872; and first at the Royal Manchester in 1869. G-g-g-g----sire, General (322 C.5.8.), won first prize at the H.S. show at Inverness in 1865. G-g-g-g-g-sire, Sir Walter Scott (797 C.5.8.), won first prize at the H.S. show at Dumfries in 1860, and the premium at the International Show held at Battersea in 1862. G-g-g-g-g-g-sire Old Clyde (574 C.5.8.), winner of tkird prize at the H.S. show, Aberdeen, in 1858, and the premium at Haddington the same year.

ORPHAN BOY'S dam, Queen, by King of the Clans, by Athelstane, won a number of prizes as a. two and three-year-old, but died as a four-year-old, when Orphan Boy was nine days old. G-dam, Jess, by Lord Salisbury (1205 C.S.B. imp.), who was never beaten in the show ring, either in Scotland or New Zealand. It is enough to mention Lord Salisbury in any animal's pedigree to stamp it witn the hall mark of quality, as he undoubtedly did more to improve the draught horses of New Zealand than any horse that ever landed on the shores of the Dominion. By the above it will be seen that ORPHAN BOY is full of the very best blood Scotland ever produced. He himself has taken a number of prizes, being first as a three-year-old at Euroa, and first and champion as a four-year-old at the same place. He stood out as a five-year-old to let his stable mate win. All mares sold or exchanged owners at time of first service held responsible. Terms: £4 4s, half-guarantee; £2 2s payable February 1,1915, and £2 2s payable when the mare proves in foal. Groom's fee, 5s each mare.

His sire, Captain Stewart (imp.), 12076, Vol. 26, has proved one of the best horses imported. His sire, Lord Stewart (10084, Vol. 18), has also proved in the Old Country to be * first-class breeder, and both these hones have been very gocceasful prusetakera. THE CAPTAIN'S dun, flora IL, It by the famous Lord Oranbourne, by Lord Salisbury, the beat stallion imJorted to the Dominion, and ia out of •sb, by Ivanhoe (imp.). Jets la oat of Miss Melbourne (imp.), by Blackleg (imp.), and the beat horse of hia day in Australia. Lord Oranbourne was full brother to R. Gawn's Queen of Quality, one of the most successful prixetakera in the Dominion in her time. Flora, f rand-dam of THE CAPTAIN, ia by ir Robert Napier, by Emperor, one of the best horses ever bred in the Taieri, and a large prizetaker.

Society's Summer Show out of nine entries, beating the horse that was second a few months before at the Otago A. and P. Society's Stallion Parade, and also beating the colts that were first and second at the Taieri and P. Show the aame year.
