TO STAND THIS SEASON AT I RIVERSLEA. <*""____ T1 ~" e Thorough-bred j - T^3^^___jfe w> ou j. Fairy by Glau6us-rSpray by Donizetti—Lady; Ann by Whisker-RavensworthbyTouchatone, &c. "it will be seen.by raforcncelto the.above pedigree that'Opawa is bred tho right; way for both pace and power, having oh the sire's side the grand Whalebone, Waxy, and Pantaloon strains, whilst on-his dam's side ho boasts an equally illustrious line of ancestry. • As a racehorse Opawa proved himself a worthy descendant of his high lineage, having won some of the best conteefed races on this Island, giving lumps of weights to his opponents. As a three-year-old, after standing the season, he ran two weight-for-age races at Blenheim. As a four-year-old, after standing tho season, he -won the Wanganui Stakes, £80; weight - for - age, beating Foil}', Black Eagle, Satellite, Tambourini, . and Maid of the Mill. The next day he came out again, and won tho W.J.C. Handicap, of £170, carrying Bst 31b, beating nine others, including Tambourini, Black Eagle, and Maori Weed. In the same month at Taranaki, he won the Cup of £50, weight-for-age, two. miles,: beating Tambourini, after a splendid struggle. . The same day, carrying 9st 21b, he won the Ladies' Pnrse, beating Tambourini, Resolution, and Camelia. The next ; day Opawa placed the T.J.C. Handicap, £100, to his credit, carrying Bst 4lb, and then finished the day by winning the Railway Stakes in a canter. The following year he again won the W.J/C Handicap, 9st 71b, and Wanganui Stakes, /weight-for-age. Opawa also won several other well contested races. It will be seen, therefore,.that Opawa is well t worthy of tho attention/ of breeders, his , pedigree being of the highest strains,of winning blood, and his performances unequalled on this side of the world.' He is as sound as the day he was foaled, and possesses a constitution of unsurpassed excellence. Terms— £s 5s for each mare. Two or moro as per agreement.
