STROLLER'S GOOD LINES

Many of the stock of All Black display jumping ability, one being Pericles, winner- of the A.J.C. Steeples, and his son, El Dorado, is also siring steeplechasers. It was therefore to be expected that Nigger Minstrel, should succeed in this direction, and his latest winner is Stroller, who won a- crosscountry double at the recent Combined Hunt Clubs' Meeting at New Plymouth. The dam of' .Stroller .is Spring Tide, by Autumnus from. Ebb Tide; by Westmere from Surf, by Natatpr. Surf was closely related to Captain Webb, a good jumper who sired the Grand National Steeples winner Captain Jingle. The line traces to imported Barbary, the only representative of the No. 32 family to be imported to New Zealand. It produced a large number of winners in the old days, the best known, being Dudu and her son Djin Djin. Surfs half-brothers, The Onyx- and Huku, were both good winners." Other'wellknown members of the family'were Rangitero and Aurora Borealis, and the latest to come into prominence is One Whetu,! whose grandam,.... Park Tide, was a half-sister to Spring* Tide, dam of Stroller. ■■■;.. ■ -: -;
