TO ENGLAND, IRELAND, OR SCOTLAND. ALL PORTRAITS taken by Mr. Oxley can go CARRIAGE FREE, if taken, before the 12th September. ROYAL PHOTOGRAPHIC GALLERY, next door to Mr. Stanton's 7508 NEW ZEALAND STUD BOOK.— It is proposed to compile, with a view to publication, a NEW ZEALAND STUD BOOK, which shall contain, as far as can be ascertained, the name and pedigree of every thorough-bred horse imported into, or bred in the colony. The great and increasing interest shown in all the provinces in the breeding of thorough-bred horse stock, renders a work of the above character highly desirable, as, without it, in a few years the pedigrees of many valuable animals will be altogether lost, so that it will be impossible at any future time to certify to the blood of their descendants. From the circumstance that, until quite recently, no Stud Book was ever published in New South Wales, to which colony New Zealand is so largely indebted for its horse stock, it has already become difficult to trace the pedigrees of many of our supposed thorough-bred horses to the English Stud Book, the only recognised authority of a horse's purity of breed. Much, however, may be done by research and inquiry to clear up doubtful pedigrees if the task is at once undertaken, but the longer the work is deferred the greater will be the difficulty of ultimate success. As soon as the compilation of the New Zealand Stud Book is complete, the work will be published, if a sufficient number of subscribers for it can be obtained to guarantee the expense of printing, and it is proposed to publish, in successive years, loose sheets in continuation of the work until there shall be sufficient materials to justify the publication of a second volume, which will then be issued, and the further continuation of the New Zealand Stud Book will then become an easy task. Breeders and owners, resident in New Zealand, of thorough -bred, or supposed thorough-bred horses, are requested to furnish the undersigned with all the information they possess regarding the breeding of the animals whose names they wish to see entered in the New Zealand Stud Book, which it is intended shall hereafter become the test of breeding of horses in this colony in the same manner in which the Stud Book is regarded* in England. In order that the foals of the present season may be included in this contemplated volume, the work will not be sent to press until the lßt of March next, up to which date communications will be received, but in order that the work may in the mean time be prepared, it is hoped that communications will be sent in as early as possible. The price of the work will be 10s. 6d., which will entitle subscribers to any loose sheets of pedigrees which may be published previous to the issue of a second volume. Intending subscribers are requested to forward their names at their earlieat convenience, to C. Elliott, Secretary of Nelson Turf Club. * # * The following is given as a specimen of the information which it is desirable the compiler should be furnished with, where practicable : — Flora M'lvor, a brown mare, imported to Nelson by Mr. H.
