BILLINGSGATE is a dark bay horse, with black points, standing about 16 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 the fastest miler of his day. His breeding is undeniably good ; on his dam's "side ho 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 get some tlrst-class stock, either for racing or steeplechasing. 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 66 races—winning 32; second 14, and third 10 times.
