TO STAND THIS SEASON AT WOODVILLE AND TAIIORAITE, $<%. -v rpilE Thorough- « $\ J- bred Horse ST. PATRICK. f\ ■,- T\ st - Patrick was bred by P. J. Murtagh, of Hawke's Bay. He is a dark golden chesnut, standing 16 hands 2 inches high, and possesses all the essential qualifications of a sire, viz., good constitution, substance, temper, conformation, and vigour. He is admirably adapted to get good useful stock, as well as nice horses. He is considered by competent judges to bo one of the grandest horses ever seen in Now Zealand. St. Patrick is now G years old, is by the celebrated horse Tho Premier, by Mai ton (imported) out of Revoke, mother of Trump Card, one of the grandest horses ever bred in Now Zealand. As a two-year-old ho won the Champagne Stakes at Canterbury, after which ho was purchased by Mr Stead for 1500 guineas. As a three-year-old he carried off three Dcrbys—Canterbury, Wellington, and Dunedin. At Canterbury he ran second for the Cup, weight for age, and on the following day won the Christchurch Plato. At Wellington, after winning the Derby, ran Lara to a neck for the Cup, giving him two years and Gibs. Afterwards in Dunedin ho won tho Publicans' Purse Handicap, defeating- Isaac Walton over his favorite distance, giving him two years and 71bs. At the same meeting , he cantered homo in front of the wonderful horse Tcmplcton for the Queen's Plate. l< or further performance see Turf Register. The Premier has also been a grand performer on the turf, having won tho Wairarapa Stakes, three miles, beating Koarrin, Fishhook, and eight others, lie also won the Empire Plate at Wellington, beating- a largo field ; but, like St. Patrick, ho was 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 let into slanting shoulders, .short back, grand quarters, long gaskius, good legs, and flat bone. Ho possesses all thnt 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. Sho started in 46 races and scored 41 wins as follows:—First season: Hawko's Bay, G: Wellington, 4 ; Pararoa, 3; Pahautiinui, 4; Taranecau, 2; Foxton, 4; Taratahi, 2; Opaki, 3; Wcyanga, 4. Second season: Wellington, 3; Pararoa, 2; Rangitikei, 3. Her last and greatest performance in tho Wairarapa was in the Ladies' Purse, carrying 12st 4lb—4st 4lb of which was dead weight—ending tho career of one of the grandest animals that ever stripped on the Now Zealand turf. She has also been a great prize-taker as a brood mare. She lias taken eight first prizes, three at Lower Hutt, Wellington, throe at Wairarapa, and two more at Canterbury, while with Traducer 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 he could race or not, as ho never started in anything. I hud him under prepanitionforSmonlhslwo years ago, when the disqualification by the Hawke's Bay Racing Club wan placed upon me, and under theso circumstances poor Pat hud to return to the paddock. Last season I had to turn him to account by .standing him at the Wairoa, where lie served 92 marcs, which I also hope to .see him do this season in his new field. Terms : Single marcs, £o ; groomngo, 5s Two or more, the property of the same owner, as per agreement. Every care will be taken, but no responsibility incurred. St. Patrick will boat Woodvillc on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, and the remainder of the week atTahoraite. All charges to bo paid before removal. For further information apply to the Groom in charge, or to P. J. MURTAGH, Proprietor. TO STAND AT MARAEKAKAHO THIS SEASON. egs%*m&& The rn] ' e * brcd Clydesdale jL castlereagh.
