WELCOME WILLIE has been most successful in the South Canterbury district during the past four years. Ho travelled the same district (Makikihi and sursoundings) for that period and proved himself a sure foal-getter. As a three-year-old he had 45 mares, as a four-year-old 65„ as a five-year-old 85, and as a six-year-old 107. This proves his increasing popularity with breeders. In the Show l{in<g at Timam he was second in a ring which comprised the pick of the animals ofj Canterbury. 2'he class of stock ho has left in the Makikihi district is evidenc»d by the fact that several of bis yearling fillies have realised as high as 50 guineas. He would not have been removed from the South Canterbury district but that .his owner has settled in the Tuturau district.

Captain Alexander is a dark bay horse, foaled December, 18%, bred by Messrs J. and A. Cullen, and has many points to rccouftu?nd him as a breeder ; he has splendid feet mid •pasterns, fine hard bone, j/ood u.'.ion, and sound constitution, with a \ery docile temper, being a splendid woiker. He is by that celebrated br).:w, St. Alexander—dam, Queen of Cru.tbourne. St. Alexander (9937 C.5.8.), imported bj» Hugh Eea, Esq., Melbourne, in 1893, is. one of the best Clydesdales that ever came to New Zealand. Before leaving Scotlaud ho gained the Dumfries. Premium. Captain Alexander was first at Tapanui and Gore Shows as a year l ling, and second at Tapanui us a two-year-old. At Amberley (Nort Canterbury) last yoar six of Captain Alexander's yearlings . got first fcr best six year.ings by ono horse. Captain Aloxander has already proved that he can leave foals, and of the right sort; and it will be seen from the above that he is directly descended from the best strains of Clydesdale blood procurable either in Scotland or in the colonies, and from his grand 'breeding on both sides he cannot fail to make a name for himself as a sire. Terms.—£3 10s, £\ 10s at end of season and £2 when mare proves in foal. Groomage, ss. JAMBS LAWSON, Owner, Gore. JOHN TELFORD, in charge.
