WELL-BRED PESCHIERA

Shortly after the start of the Petre Hack Handicap at Wanganui on Thursday it was obvious that Peschieia. and Nebulae, who had received none the best of an uneven dispatch, -would have to run, unusually well to be the winner, awl neither of them ever got near HaulbowHne or Clangor. It was pleasing to note, however, that both finished solidly behind the first two horses, Peschiera especially seeming to be doing it well in third place at the close. •Peschiera is an exceptionally well-bred three-year-old chestnut colt, and it would not bo "surprising, to find him developing into a. good-class performer later on. He carries the well-known amber and black hoops of Mr. F. Bristol, who bought .him for 75gns as a yearling, and he is being trained by 0. Cox at Hawera. 1 He is by Tea Tray from the imported Square Measure mare, Quadrilateral, one of the 'imported English mares at the Elderslie Stud. Quadrilateral was a winner of three two-year-old races in England prior to her purchase for stud duty in New Zealand. As she belongs to the famous Paraffin branch of the No. 1 family through a half-sister (Ebba) to Chelanory, it "would seem that she was specially •cqnired by the Elderslie Stud for mating Wth Tea Tray, who is a great grandson •t Chelandry. Ebba and Chelandry were Both daughters of Paraffin's best daught«V niuminata, who has had such a wide influence ■in. the production of ehaaroion raCehorsea_nn;Australia,and New-Zealand.
