THE IMPORTED PURE-BRED CLYDES. DALE SIRE jpRINCK CHAR LI -*- WILL STAND AT WINDSOR PARK DURING THE SEASON.. Fk, £7. Groom's Fk, 6b. Pedigree — PRINCE CHARLIE was bred by Mr James Nicol Fleming, of Knockdon, Ayrshire, Scotland. Dam, the celebrated mare Darling, lire, Prince Alfred. | Darling ha* 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 name 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 h«r progeny, her first foal, Prince of Wales, as a yearling gained first prize at Ayr, and second at the Highland Society's Show at Glasgow. As a 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 champioc prize of twenty pounds, 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, Kilbowie, for £500; he was afterwards sold for the sum of 1500 guineas to Mr Drew of Merryton, the greatest bseeder in Great Britain ; he is now in the Merryton stnd, and stands for £40 per rcare. 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 Princwof 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 hvrse* to numerous too mention, one of w hich, a t* o-year-old filly, bred by Mr Drew, brought the sum of 440 guineas. Her next foal was a filly, which was six times nhoMn by Mr Fleming, and was six times first, viz., twice at Maybole, twice at Ayr, once at Glasgow, and once at th« Highland Society's Show, held at Edinburgh . She was then sold to Mr Drew, as a two-year-old, for£loo, who exlnbitedher throughout Scotland^and England, and never suf* feicd defeat^j&xcept from one of her own family ; he then 6old her for 500 guineas. Her next foal «as Prince Charlie, which gained first prize at Maybole, first at Ayr, and second at Glasgow. He m. is then sold as a yearling, at a very high price, to go to New Zealand. His tire, Prince Alfred, was bred by Mr Fleming, from his mare Jean, which is said to have gained more prizes than any niaro in Scotland. Prince Alfred gained 3rd prize at Ayr, as a year-old, and 3rd prize at the same place, and 3ul prize at Glasgow as a two-year- old all of which shows he was competing wit the invincible Prince of Wales ; w htu three years old he waa_aold to Mr David Riddle, Kilbowie, after w hich he gained the Campbelltowu premium of £50. The General, the sire of Prince Alfred, was also the sire of Prince ot Wales, making Prince Charlie and Prince of Wales very closely related. The 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 sale at Drumburle ; which afterwards carried away firrt prize at the Highland Society's Show, held at Stirling in 1b73, the owner refusing to take a lower price than £750 for her.} Aa 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 w inners in the three classes of Clydesdale fillies belonged to or were bred by Mr Fleming, Priuce Charlie's dam being the dam of one and the <,'rand-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 3C competitors, and was afterwards sold for 800 guinea* to go to Australia. Prince Charlie's dam had seven colts and fillies, the money value of which amounted toL5!00. PRINCE CHARLIE is a beautiful dapple brown, stands 17 hands high ; with great substance, beautiful symmetry, and quality unequalled. PRINCE CHARLIE has taken the champion prize in Chriitchurch three years in succession, and his stock are equally successful wherever shown, both here and in the North Island. oc9
