Exhibited at the Ohristchuroh Metropolitan Show of 1802, he was awarded second Prize m his class, against the Cbaapion Three-year-old of Victoria. In the opinion of miny judgeß, both odts wae equal m quality, but the superior condition rf the Victorian colt gave him the preference. Wellington had been brought out of the paddock wbue he had been running all winter only a few days before ihe Show. Wellington's sire, Woodland?, is too wt 11 -known m Canterbury to need mnoh defoription. He has proved himEelf a thoroughly euro foal getter, and bis progeny have taken a leading position as piize-takeiß at tbe various Shows ia North Canttibury, and always command the highest prices m the market. Wellington's dam, JESS, by Kelvin, is still one cf the beet Clydesdale mares m Canterbury.
