TO STAND THIS SEASON. THE THOROUGHBRED HORSE MASTER GEORGE. MASTER GEORGE is, a boantiful Dark Bay Horse, standing 15 hands 3 inches high, with great power. The Horae has many strains of the most successful running blood m hia veins, as will be seen by his pedigree on the card 8. It will be seen that his sire St. George is full brother to that celebrated horse Chester. St. George was never trained, but Chester's many successes included the Y.R.C. Derby and Melbourne Cup. Of the many winners begotten by St. George, some have been of the highest calibre, to wit the somewhat unfortunate brothers, Exchange and Merrie England. Another sire by St. George was Quibble, who is still m training. These, with Marlborough, Strenuous, Red Cross, Red Ensign, and ths evergreen Erin-go-bragh, are performers that would do any sire credit, while bis brother, Chester, is ihe sire of Abercorn, winner of the A.J.C. Derby and Champion Stakes. He also beat the mighty Carbine on more than one occasion. He blso sired Acme, Trident, Dreadnought, Ensign, and many others, and baa opened the season of 1892-93 by producing; the winner (Camoola) of the A.J.C. Derby, Victor Hugo, winner of the Shorts and Trießte winner of the Oaks. Lara, the sire of his dam Wheel-of-Fortune, amongst his winnings claims the Auckland, Wellington, and Marlborough Cups, while his great grand dam Rosebud, i 3 the daughter of Bay Middleton, full brother to Cossack, Flora, Zoe, 10, and Wsiraea. Glaucua, the eire of Fairy, was by Bookworm out of Princess, the dam of those well-known racers Srmphony and Potentate. Glaucus won 16 races m New South Wales and 4in Nelson. As a two and thre9year old he beat everything m Australia, including the then renowned Plover, Cossack, the brother of Bay Middleton ; lost but one race m 15 starts, and that only by running off the course. Spray, the dam of Fairy, was the dam of Wetsail, S f ormbird, Belle of the Isle. The latter was the dam of Ternpleton. lerms : — £3 per mare, with an allowance when two or more mares the bona fide property of one person are sent. No groomage. Master George will visit all the surrounding districts during the seaBon. For further particulars apply to the Groom m charge, or to THOMAS FOWLER, Owner. TO STAND THIS SEASON THE THOROUGHBRED STALLION MERRY KING. MERRY KING is by King Cole out of Magnolia, by Totara out of Maggie Lauder, by Socrates out of Pancake, by Sir Hercules. Magnolia, the dam of Mbrfir King, is by that good horse Totara, the sire of Longlands, the winner of two Great Autumn Handicaps, also the sire of Tara and Volunteer, the sire of some of our best cross-country horses, including Recruit. King Cole got many winners, smonj which I may mention Nelson, Wapiti, Off Colour, who won the Randwick Plate, beating Naluna by a length ; he also won the Canterbury Plate, beating Commotion and Le Grand. King Cole ia also the sire of Colstoun, thy Duke of Chandos, Myall King and others. It will be seen from the above that Merry King has got good blood on both sides, going back to Black Boy and Rata, the winner ' of two Marlborough Cups. Kefrigerator, another Cup winner, ia from the same family. Merrie King, mated with good Mares, should get horses fit for the racecourse or the hunting field. Mekky King will visit Tua Marina and 3pring Creek (Duggan's) on Mondays ; EenTicktown (Higg's Hotel), Thursdays ; Blonleim, Saturdays ; rest of the week at his stables, Eenwick New Eoad.
