TO STAND THE SEASON. And travel Blenheim, Havelock, and surrounding districts. THE ROTHSCHILD TROTTING STALLION Lord Aalu'ey (5.10 1-5)). LORD ASHLEY is * nice bloodcolored chestnut, standing 16? hands, with good flat bone, and in general appearance is a real "Rothschild," and is a square-gaitcd trotter, requiring no boots. He was a very consistent performer on tho track, having to his credit 6 firsts, 6 seconds, and 7 thirds, over distances from one to two miles. He is tho winner of one Futurity Stakes for 2-year-olds, thereby demonstrating early speed, and nis fastest public performance was winning easily ' two miles in 5.10 1-5. It is seldom that breeders in this district have the service of a real trotter at their disposal; therefore those in search of fast trotters or road horses would do well to try this sire. Lord Ashley is by Rothschild—Lady Ashley. Rothsjliild is the greatest sire of trotting and pacing speed ;,nd stamina this side of the line, and his many sons and daughters have the same knack of producing good ones. Our record-holders of to-day are mostly all of Rothschild blood. Lady Ashley is by Irvington out of n supposed Kentucky mare, from a thoroughbred. She was a very consistent trotter in her day, and has several races to her credit. Her only other foal, Kawatiri, by Allorton, was i also the winner of several races, in- | eluding Juvenile Stakes for 2-year- | olds at Grey. Irvington and Kentucky wore two great trotting sires, and their blood is connected with some of the greatest producing mares of to- [ day. The above v ill be sufficient to I show that Lord Ashley is a real [ trotter. Terms: £5 5s single mare, payable Ist January, 191G: two or more by agreement; farmers' mares £4 4s. All care with mares; no responsibility. All correspondence—B. EVANS, Ren wick.
