THE IMPORTED PURE-BRED CLYDESDALE SIRE PRINCE CHARLI WILL STAND AT WINDSOR PARK DURING THE SEASON; Fee, £7, Groom's Fix, sa. Pedigree— PRINCE CHARLIE was bred by Mr James Nicol Fleming, of Knookdon, Ayrshire, Scotland. Dam, the celebrated mare Darling, nre, Prince Alfred. Darling has been a very successful prize* taker, and as a brood mare unparalleled. Among the many prizes she has taken, the following may be mentioned, viz. : First as a three-year-old, at the Highland Society's show, at Stirling, 1864, and first as a brood mare at the* same show, held at Inverness, 1865 ; she also gained first prize at Ayr show same year. In 1868 she gained (besides the Society's prize at Ayr) a prize of ten pounds, offered by the Highland Society for the best brood mare, open to Scotland. She was first at Maybole, 1869, and first at Ayr and Maybole, 1870, thus finishing her show career, never being beaten. As to her progeny, her first foal, Prince of Wales, as a yearling gained first prize at Ayr, and second at the Highland Society* Show at Glasgow. Asa two-year-old, was first at Ayr, and first at Glasgow, beating the colt that was placed before him as a yearling, and also a champion prize of twenty ponnds, open to Scotland. As a three-year-old, he gained first prize at the Royal Society's Show of England, held at Manchester, against stallions of all ages, and the following week carried off the laurels at the Highland Society's Show, held at Edinburgh, when he was sold to Mr David Riddle, Xilbowie, for £500 ; he was afterwards sold for the sum of 1500 guineas to Mr Drew of Mcrryton, the greatest bseeder in Great Britain ; he is now m the Merryton stud, and stands for £40 per mare. 1 may also mention that Time of Day, the champion horse at the Highland Society's Show, held at Glasgow, 1875, and sold afterwards for the sum of 1500 guineas, to go to Australia, was a son of the Prince of Wales ; and Never Mind Him, the champion horse at the Royal Society's Show of England, held at Taunton, 1875, was also a son of the Prince of Wales ; and many other prize winners and high priced horses to numerous too mention, one of which, a two-year-old filly, bred by Mr Drew, brought the Bum of 440 guineas. Her next foal was a filly, which was six times shown by Mr Fleming, and was bW times first, viz., twice at Maybole, twice at Ayr, onco at Glasgow, and once at the Highland Society's Show, held at Edinburgh . She was then sold to Mr Drew, wat» <>- year-old, f or £ 100, who exhibited her throughout Scotland and England, and never suffered defeat, except from one of her «» family ; he then sold her for £00 guineas. Her next foal was Prince Charlie, which gained first prize at Maybole, first at Ayr, and second at Glasgow. He was then sold as a yearling, at a very high price, to go to New Zealand. His sire, Prince Alfred, was bred by Mr Fleming, from his mare Jean, which is said t<i have &aiucd more prizes than any mare in Scotland. Prince Alfred gained 3rd prize at Ayr, as a year-old, and 3rd prize at th« same place, and 3rd prize at Glasgow as a two-year-old, all of which shows he was competing wit the invincible Prince of Wales ; when three years old he was sold to Mr David Riddle, Kilbowic, after which he gained the Campbelltown premium of £50. The General, the sire of Prince Alfred, was also the sire of Prince of Wales, making Prince Charlie and Prince of Wales very closely related. Th* excellency of this breed is further shown from the fact that a year-old filly got by Prince of Wales brought the handsome sum of £106, at Mr Fleming's late sal* at Drnmburle ; which afterwards carried away fin-t prize at the Highland Society's Show, held at Stirling in 1873, the owner refusing to take a lower price than £750 for her.| As a proof of the superiority of the breed over any other in Scotland, I may mention that at the Highland and Agricultural Show, held at Perth, 1871, all the first and second prize winners in the three classes of Clydesdale fillies belonged to or were bred by Mr Fleming, Prince Charlie's dam being the dam of one and the grand-dam of four Prince Arthur— full brother to Prince Charlie — took second prize at the Highland Society's Show held at Stirling, 1873, in a class of 36 con . petitors, and was afterwards sold for BCO guineas to go to Australia. Prince Charlie's dam had seven colts and fillies, the money value of which amounted toLSIOO. PRINCE CHARLIE is a beautiful dapple brown, stands 17 hands high ; with great substance, beautiful symmetry, and quali ty unequalled. PRINCE CHARLIE has taken the champion prize in Christchurch three years in succession, and his stock are equally successful wherever shown, both her* and in the North Island. oc9
