To Stasd This Season at Takadale. $foe&i&rfgsttl The Thoroughbred Stallion fwi"P ° H ° X v E A ' A beautiful dark brown, standing 1-5-3, by Pacific out of Villctto. The young stock from this well known sire are such well-grown, handsome, upstanding horses that T have at considerable expense induced Mr. Doimolly to lease him to mo for the season, and will stand him at my stable, Taradale. Further particulars in future advertisement. M. RYAN, Taradale Hotel. AND STILL THE SIRE OF THE . SEASON. The Thoroughbred pOHOEUBA. PonoKURA by Pacific, out of Villctto (by Young Plover, out of Ada—Young , Plover by iEther) ; Pacific by Flatcatcher, dam Disagreeable by Agreeable—-her dam by Sam, out of Morel by Sorcerer. Flatcatcher by Touchstone, out of Decoy by Filho da Puta, Finesse by Peruvian, Viscount by John Bull, sister to Skyscraper by Highflyer. Touchstone by Camel, Banter by Master Henry, Boadicea by Alexander, Brunette by Amaranthus—Mayfly by Matchem—Camel by Whalebone, out of Selim marc—Maiden by Sir Peter —Phenomenon. Pacific was imported from England, and got the celebrated performers Orlando, Nebula, Glengarry, Satellite (the fastest horse foaled in the Southern Hemisphere), Moonshine, Moss Rose, Dundee, Resolution, Hailstorm, and Rangipo. Pohokura is also fortunate on the dam's side, for Young Plover, the sire of Pohokura's dam, was not only a first-class racehorse, but was most successful at the stud, as all his progeny were clippers under heavy weights—be the distance six furlongs or three miles. Pohokura's dam was half-sister to that grand mare Deception, the best marc that ever trod the Now Zealand turf—she ran fifth in the Champion Race in Sydney, in 18G0, in a largo iield. three days after landing from New Zealand, Villette (dam of Pohokura) raced with great success as a three-year-old, but was early put to the stud, and became the dam of several well-known winners. Pohokura promised to be a great performer, both on the flat and over fences, but his racing career was unfortunately cut short by an accident which, though it deprives the tui"f of what bid fair to be one of the grandest performers in the colony, will prove a boon to breeders desirous of producing racers, steeplechasers, or excellent weight-carrying hacks. He is a beautiful dark-brown (almost black) with black points, 8 years, stands 15 hands inches high, his whole contour being handsome, powerful, and racing-like, and in his veins runs blood of the most patrician quality, tracing back to the grand Touchstone fountain, whoso deserved praise we should never cease to sing. " Touchstone —the renowned "founder of a line of kings"—who was directly descended on both sides by Eclipse —through Whalebone, "Waxy, and Pot-8-os on the side of his sire (Camel), and through Master Henry, Orvillc, Beningbrough, and King Fergus on the side of his dam (Banter), thus tracing back in direct lines to both the Darloy and Godolphin Barbs. The winnings of the stock of his great progenitors, Eclipse and Emilus, were surpassed by Touchstone. In twenty years, between iS-il and 18G0, he got 323 winners of upwards of 700 races." DERBY.

All competent judges declare him the most useful and best sire that has ever been in the Province. Breedei's should never forget the fact that all this strain are noted for their good temper, general soundness, and hardy constitutions.
