The Stud. mO STAND THIS j i JL SEASON AT THE The Thoroughbred Stalbillingsgate by Isaac Walton out of Slander, by Traducer; Isaac Walton by Dainty Ariel out of Fanny Fisher, by Fisherman ; Dainty Ariel by Riddlesworth. BILLINGSGATE is a dark bay horse, with black points, standing about 10 hands 1 inch, with plenty of bone and substance. He was bred by the late W. Walters, Esq., of Papakura : while on the turf he proved himself t.he fastest miler of his day. His breeding is undeniably good ; on his dam's side he has the celebrated Traducer blood, which is, at the present time, telling so well on the turf; on his sire's side he has Dainty Ariel, by Riddlesworth, while Fanny Fisher is by the celebrated Fisherman. From the combination of these strains he should i>et some first-class stock, either for racing or stoeplechatinjr. .Some of the best cross-country horses in England are got by speedy horses on the flat out of well-bred mares. Billingsgate started in 6(5 races—winning 32; second 14, and third 10 times. Terms—Single Mares, £4, Groom's Fee, 3s. Two >r more mares (the property of same owner) by agreement. All Fees to be paid by January Ist, 18S0. Paddocks, 2s Cd per week. Every care taken but no responsibility.
