Murtagh, of Hawke's Bay. He is a dark golden chesnut, standing 10 hands 2 inches high, aud possesses alf the essential qualifications of a sire, viz., o-ood constitution, substance, temper, conformation, and vigour. He is admirably adapted to yet good useful stock, as well as race horses". Ho is considered by competent judges to bo one of tho grandest horses ever seen in New Zealand. St. Patrick is iioav G years old, is by the celebrated horse The Premier, by Malton (imported) out of Revoke, mother of Trump Card, one of the grandest horses ever bred iv New Zealand. As a two-year-old he won tho Champagne Stakes at Canterbury, after Avhich he Avas purchase:! by Mr Stead for 1500 guineas. As a three-year-old he carried off three Derbys—Canterbury, AVellington, and Dunedin. At Canterbury he ran second for the Cup, Aveightfor age, and on the following day won the Christchurch Plate. At AVellington, after Avinning the Derby, ran Lara to a neck for the Cup, giving him two years and Gibs. Afterwards fii Dunedin he avou tho Publicans' Purse Handicap, defeating Isaac AValton over his favorite distance, giving him two years and Tibs. At the same meeting ho cantered home in front of the wonderful horse Tomplcton for the Queen's Plate. lor further performance see Turf Register. The Premier has also been a grand performer on the turf, having won the AVairarapa Stakes, three miles, beating Koarria, Fishhook, and eight others. He also avou the Empire Plate at AVellington, beating eight others ; but, like St. Patrick, he Avas put to the stud too soon without giving him a chance to distinguish himself" as his family has done before and after him. St. Patrick is one of the handsomest horses ever bred in New Zealand. He is thoroughly sound, has a beautiful head and muscular neck lot into slanting shoulders, short back, grand quarters, long gaskins, good legs, and flat bone. He possesses all that is necessary in a sire, size, bone, and breeding. He is out of that far-famed mare Phoenix by Gownsman (imported), out of Ikamataki by Figaro (imported), out of Brunette by Riddlesworth (imported). Phoenix has been a clipper on the turf. She started in 46 races and scored 41 AA'ins as follows:—First season: Hawke's Bay, 6 : AVellington, 4 ; Pararao, 3; Pabawhanui, 4 ; Tercuacua, 2 ; Foxton, 4; Taratahi, 2; Opaki, 3; AVcyanga, 4. Second season: AVellington, 3; Pararoa, 2 : Raugitikci, 3. Her last and greatest performance in the AVairarapa Avas in the Ladies' Purse, carrying 12st 41b—4st 4lb of which was dead weight—ending the career of one of the grandest animals that ever stripped on the New Zealand turf. Sho has also been a great prize-taker as a brood mare. She has taken eight first prizes, three at Loavct Hutt, AA'ellington, three at AVairarapa, and tAvo more at Canterbury, Avhilo Avith Traduccr it can be plainly seen that St. Patrick's ancestors came from a racing family, and were racers themselves. St. Patrick never had a chance to show whether ho could race or not, as ho neA'cr started in anything. I had him under preparation for months tAvo years ago, Avhen disqualification by the Hiuvke's Bay Racing Club was placed upon me, and under the circumstances poor Pat had to return to the paddock. Last season I had to turn him to account by standing him at the AVairoa, Avhero he served 92 mares, Avhich I also hope to see him do this season in his new field. Terms: Single marcs, £5 ; groomage, ss. Two or more, the property of the same owner, as per agreement. Every care will be taken, but no responsibility incurred. As Mr Murtagh has taken tho farm lately in the occupation of Mr Lewis Evans, Avith abundance of grass, owners of mares may depend on getting their mares returned iv good condition. Paddocking Is per Aveek until notice of removal is given. All charges to bo paid before removal. For further information apply to the Groom in charge, or to P. J. MURTAGH, Proprietor. TO STAND THIS SEASON AT TARADALE. fPtoserfjfpftt The Thoroughbred Horse— E M P L E T O N. Templeton was bred by Mr. Murtagh, of Hawke's Bay. He is a dark bay, Avith black points. He is three years old, stands 15 hands 2 inches high, and possesses all tho essential qualifications of a sire, namely, good constitution, temper, substance, strength, quality, and vigor. He is admirably adapted for getting Aveight carriers, coach horses, as well as racehorses, as he surpasses everything yet seen in New Zealand for size and strength, combined with the best blood that ever flowed in a horse's veins. He is by Danebury, out of Phoenix. Danebury is by the far-famed Traduccr, dam Ada, winner of the Canterbury Derby, by St. Auburyn, sire of Tui Tui, Harakeke, and dams of Kakapo, Karara, Perfume, Ariel, &c, grand dam Princess by Gratis, sire by Diana, dam of that Avonderful mare Mussidora, AAdio produced the folloAA'ing horses: —Miss Jessie, winner of Victorian V.R.C.

It is sufficient to mention the name of Tradueer, as ho got the best horses ever bred in NeAV Zealand, Lurline, Calumny, Lo Loup, Fish-hook, Templeton, Maritana, Bribery, Te AVhetumarama, Black Prince, and a host of others too numerous to mention. Ada's dam Princess is also clam of Glaukos, Potentate, Symphony, dam of Laccnfeed-Casandra, dam of Opera, Avinner of the Canterbury Derby and dam of that good old horse Tambourine. Coupled with the above Danebury, sire of Templeton, has been a great performer on the turf, having beaten the best horses which New Zealand could then produce.

Phoenix, dam of Templeton, is by GoAvnsman (imp), out of Ikamatake, by Figaro (imp), out of Brunette by RiddlesAVorth (imp).
