WELLINGTON jb bb pure-bred a Clydesdale as has ever eood a season m Marl bore ugh. He is a ri h bright bay, with b.'aok points, and has a peifeot constitution, combined with an exoellent temper, and his quality cannot be disputed. Exhibited at the Ohristchuroh Metropolitan Show of 1592, he was awarded second Prize m his class, against the Champion Three-year-old of Viotoria. la the opinion of mmy judges, both Qi lts were equal m qnslity, but the superior condition r f tbe Victorian colt gavt- him the preference. Wellington bad been brought out of the paddock wheie be had been running all winter only a few days before the Show. Wellington's sire, Woodland?, is too well-known m Canterbury to need muoh deeeriptnn. He has proved himself a thoroughly sure foal getter, and bis progeny have taken a leading position as prize-takers at the various Shows m North Canterbury, and alwave command the highest prices m the market. Wellington's dam, JESS, by Kelvin, is still cne of the best Clydesdale mares m Canterbury. Her eire, Kelvin, by Prince Rojal, is now standing m tha Asb burton didtriot, aud baa proved cne of the best stock- getters m the provinoe. Full particulars of Prince Royal's pedigree appear m the " New Zealand Stud Book." Jess's grandslre, Glenroy, was the Champion Clydesdale Stallion of his day. For the paßt two peason'B WELLINGTON has a record of over 75 per cent, foal?. His progeny are generally acknowledged the best seen m the district. For further particulars apply to— J.
