Vasco di Gama won the Maiden Plato at Ascot, ran third for theHurstbourneStakes, and won the Rottingdcan Nursery Handicap and the Molyneux Nursery Handicap (carrying top weight). " Pero Gomez full brother to Vasco di Gama won the Middle Park Plate, Newmarket Stake*, Ascot, Derby, St. Lcger Donciister Stakes, Grand Duke of Michael Stakes and Royal Stakes (in all about £1-1,000). Ho has been a most successful sire in England, and his son Peregrine won the 2000 guineas stakes (worth about £5000) and was only beaten by a head for the Derby and was sold for 7000 guineas. It is no use looking at aristocratic breeding, grand appearance and good performances, if Vasco does not succeed with real good mares in begetting racehorses equal to any that have ever graced a racecourse. Limited to 20 approved mares at 10 guineas each. 0% The imported French Thor7kK«tc'Yv , » ! oughbred Stallion P LADIATOR-Abeau-vJT tiful golden Chestnut, lo hands 3 inches, bred by Count Legratige, got, by that wonderful galloping "machine Gladiateur who gained the triple crown by winning the Two Thousand Guineas, Derby and St. Leger in 18G5 ; dam Nuncia (also dam of Nemesis, winner of the Metropolitan Stakes, Sydney, doing tho 2 miles in 2mins. ;)3sec, beating 15 others; also dam of Messager, and of Victoirc who won the Kingsbury Open Steeplechase, carrying top weight, 12st. 21b.), by Nuncio out of Fat.ima by Elis. Gladiator was never tried to race, but his full brother, Messager, was a rare performer on the flat, over hurdles, and across country, having won the Northamptonshire Stakes as a 1 -year-old, Surrey Grand National Open Steeplechase, the Croydon Grand Hurdle Race, and ran second in the United Kingdom Steeplechase in 1871. He also won many races in France, and the sporting correspondent of the London Standard pronounced him the very best steeplechaser as a 5-year old. Gladiateur is also "grandsirc of Sussex, Sting and other wonderful performers. Tho performances of Sussex prove him to bo one of the best horses ever bred in Australia: it is needless to enumerate the number of his victories, except the Grand National Steeplechase of July, 1881, carrying top weight 13st lib. Sting won the llawkcsbury Grand Handicap, carrying Sst, doing the mile in 2 mins. 3U| sec, the fastest time on record.

Ada's dam Princes is also dam of Glaukos, Potentate, Symphony, dam of Lacenfeed-Casaudra, dam of Opera, winner of the Canterbury Derby and dam of that good old horse Tambourine.
