Magnolia, the dam of Mefrie King, is by that good horse Totara, the sire ef Lonalands, the winner of two Great Autumn Handicaps, also the aire of Tara and Volunteer, the sire of some of our beat cross-country horses, including Recruit. King Oole got many winners, amongst which 1 may mention Nelson, Waipiti, Off Coloui, who won the Randwick Plate, beating Naluna by a length ; he also won the Canterbury Plate, beating Commotion and Le Grand. King Cole is alao the sire of Colstoun, the Duke of Chandos, Myall King and others. It will be seen from the above that Merrie King has got good blood on both sides, going back to Black Boy and Rata, the winner of two Marlborough Cups. Refrigerator, another Cup winner is from the same family. Mkrrie King, mated with good Mares, should get horses fit for the racecourse or the hunting field. The following is an extract from the Mablborough Expkess report of the proceedings at the Marlborough Agricultural and Pastoral Association Show, of 1892 :-" In the horse class Mr Stevens' judging was received favorably, and the pains he took m thoroughly examining the horses presented to him, showed that he intended to be careful as well as impartial, and as a great deal of interest was shown hi the thoroughbred judging it may be as w^ll to give Mr Stevens' opinion of " Merrie King," the horse which won the championship against Catesby. This horse which by the way was bred by Mr C. Redwood, and is by King Cole, Mr Stevens thinks when full grown will be hard to beat on any ground m the Colony, and he shows now that he is the proper stamp from which to breed racehorses." Merrie King will travel as follows : Grovetown Spring Creek and Picton Road — Mondays, return Tuesdays. Kaituna — Wednesday, (if sufficient inducement offers).
