The White Swan has brought from Auckland a magnificent thoroughbred entire horse, imported into that province a few Aveeks ago in the Swordfish from England. Towton is of the very best English blood (Touchstone and Melbourne), a fact proved by his appearance as well as by the studbook. Mr. Newton, who imported this splendid animal, deserves the best thanks of Canterbury for his determination to bring him here in spite of the pressing entreaties and liberal offers of Auckland breeders, who would have been glad to give as much as £1500 for such an animal. He should be seen by all who enjoy the sight of a first-rate horse.

tion so as to prevent any dissatisfaction from arising hereafter from measures founded arm? rently in consonance with their own desE" from the vagueness and inefficiency of tl.p.v application. Bir
