Stallions THE SIRE OF THE SEASON. JKS3{k____ rTIHE Thoroughbred Horse JBtL "POHOKURA,'' By Pacific, out of Villette by Young Plover out of Ada, _Efchei\ Pacific by Flatcatcher, dam Disagreenble by Agi'eeable ; her dam by Sam, out of Morel by Sorcerer. Flatcatcher by Touchstone, out of Decoy, by Filo da Puta. Finesse by Purcre. Viscount by John Bull, sister to Skyscraper by Highflyer. Towchstone by Camel ; Banter by Master Henry, Boadicea by Alexander, Brunette by Anmranti', Mayflower by Mtitchem, Camel by Whalebone, out of a Sclim mare; Maiden by Sir Peter Phenomenon. He was imported from England, and got the celebrated performers Orlando, Nebula, Glengarry, Satellite (the fastest horse foaled in the Southern Hemisphere), Moonshine, Moss Rose, Dundee, Resolution, Otupai, and last though not least Hailstorm. It will be seen that no horse south of the line can boast of such renowned ancestors as the sire of Pohokura ; he is also fortunate on the clam's side, for Young Plover (the sire of Pohokura's dam) was not only a first-class race-horse, but was mo3t successful at the stud, as all his progeny were clippers under heavy weights, be the distance six furlongs or three miles. Pohokura's dam was half sister to that grand mare Deception, the best mare that ever trod the New Zealand turf ; she ran fifth in the Champion Race in Sydney in 1860, in a large field three days after landing from New Zealand. Villette (dam Pohokura), raced with great success as a three-year-old, and was early put to the stud, and became the dam of several well-known winners. Pohokura promised to be a great performer both on the flat and over fences, but his racing career was unfortunately cut short by an accident which, although it deprives the turf of what bid fair to be one of the grandest performers in the colony, will prove a boon to breeders desirous of producing racers, steeplechasers, or excellent weight carrying hacks. Pohokura is a dark brown, with black points, 6 years, stands 15 hands 3i- inches high, his whole contour being handsome, powerful, and racing-like, and is deserving of the patronage of breeders, uniting as he does, all the fastest and stoutest strain of blood of the English thorough-bred horse. All competent judges declare him the most useful sire that has ever been in this province ; in appearance ho is a grand powerful horse, and in his veins runs blood of the most patrician quality — tracing back to the grand Touchstone fountain, a strain whoso deserved praise we should never cease to sing. Breeders should never forget the fact that all this breed are noted for their Good Temper, General Soundness, and Hardy Constitution.
