FTJHE above Btallion will stand at BlenJL heim and surrounding distriot during the forthcoming season. PIRATE is a beautiful deep chestnut horse, nine years of age, standing 16 hands 1 inoh high. His sire, Obilde Harold, needß no comment, he being well-known as the GREATEST TROTTING STALLION OUT OF AMERICA. Violetta (imp.), PIRATE'S dam, is by Echo, son of Rysdyk's Hambletonian, from Nita, by Sawyer's Hambletoniao, from Betsy Austin, by Montreal, a Canadian paoer, Eoho is sire of Heoord.

Viking, Lord Harold, and Era (Champion Trotting Stal'ion ot New South Wales), who at Hobartville Bale made 185, 275, 670, and 600 guineas respectively. Only shown onoe m Australia, PIRATE, at the Hawkeßbury Show, New South Walea, beat hib own bboxeeb, Eba, who is now champion or New South Walks. He has never performed m publio, owing to an acoident which oocurred to him when m training. Shown at the Marlborough Agricultural and Pastoral Association's Show three times, he easily scoured first honors as a Ooaohing Stallion. Having been for three seasons Btanding at the Hobartville Stud, and mated with the very best mareß m Australia, inoluding Kentucky Maid (dam of Ostlerie), it will be seen that PIRATE'S credentials are equal to, if not better than, any sire m New Zealand. He has a beautiful temper, and is petfeotly quiet m saddle and harness. So many of PIRATE'S foals are now to be seen m tbe Marlborongh district, and he haß given such great and unvaried satisfaction to breeders, tbat it is probable bis list will soon be full ; therefore early application is neoessary. All care will be taken of mares, but no responsibility. FEE : £3 3s. Further partioularß can be obtained from W. RAMSAY, Groom-in-oharge.
