Stud Horses. AND STILL THE SIRE OF THE SEASON. Jgjftfozi, Tho Thoroughbred T)OHOKURA. Tohokuea by Pacific, out of Villette (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 mare—Maiden by Sir Peter—Phenomenon. Pacific was imported from England, and "•ot 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, tho best marc that over trod the New Zealand turf —she ran fifth in the Champion Race in Sydney, in 18G0, in a large field, 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 turf of what bid fair to bo 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 3-i 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—tho 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, Orville, Beningbrongh, and King Fergus on tho side of his dam (Banter), thus tracing back indirect lines to both the Darley and Godolphin Barbs. The winnings of the stock of his great progenitors, Eclipse and Emilus, were surpassed by Touchstone. In twenty years, between 1841 and 18G0, he got 323 winners of upwards of 700 races." DERBY.

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

TO STAND THIS SEASON AT TARADALE. £gfrrvft m titfi / ifj% ThoThoroughbred Horse— T* E M P L E T O N. Templeton was bred by Mr. Murtagh, of Hawke's Bay. He is a dark bay, with black points. He is three years old, stands 15 hands 2 inches high, and possesses all the essential qualifications of a sire, namely, good constitution, temper, substance, strength, quality, and vigor. Ho is admirably adapted for getting weight 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 Traducer, 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 Glausus, sire by Diana, dam of that wonderful mare Mussidora, who produced the following horses: —Miss Jessie, winner of Victorian V.R.C. Derby; Belphegor, Sea Spray, winner of the V.R.C. andS.A.J.C. St. Ledger; Brasis, winner of V.R.C. Derby, Oaks, and Melbourne Cup ; South Hamilton, winner of V.R.C. Three-year-old Stakes. It is sufficient to mention tho name of Traducer, as he got the best horses ever bred in New Zealand,, namely, Lurline, Calumny, Le Loup, Fish-hook, Templeton, Maritana, Bribery, To Whctumarama, Black Prince, Sir Modrod and a host of others too numerous to mention. Ada's dam Princes : is also dam of Glaukos, Potentate, Symphony, dam of Lacenfeed-Casandra, dam of Opera, winner 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.' Performances as follows:—As a two-year-old ho won the Canterbury Champagne Stakes, and ran second to Guy Fawkes for the Railway Plate, as a three-year-old ho won the Railway Plate at Canterbury, £ mile, Guy Fawkes second ; ran second to Guy for the Canterbury Cup, 2\ miles, weight for age ; the following day Avon the Christchurch Plate, weight for age, 2 miles, carrying 71bs penalty, defeating a large field, time 3 mins. 44 sees. ; at Auckland ran second to Perfume for tho Racing Club Handicap, giving her two years and lOlbs; won Auckland Derby, and ran second to Ariel for the Cup, Ariel 4 years, Bst 21bs, Danebury 3 years, Tst 121b; at Dunedin March Meeting ran second to Porcri for the Derby, leaving behind him Fullacy, Bribery, Hippocampus, and seven others ; as a five-year-old, carrying top weight, won Waitaki Cup, County Plate, Jockey Club Handicap, Champagne Stakes; at Geral- •
