Rings ; g g g g g sire Old Clyde, the property of MiFrame Lord Salisbury was exhibited as a yearling at Ayr show in May, 1876, and won first prize ; at Ardrossan he won first prize ; at Kilmarnock in 1877, when a two-year-old, he won first prize, with medal for best horse in the yard. At Dairy, in 1877, he won first prize; at Ayr, in May, 1877, first prize; at Glasgow, in May, 1877, first prize; at the Royal English, Liverpool, July, 1877, first prize; at the Highland Society's Show, Edinburgh, July, 1577, first prize. He was only once shown iu New Zealand, getting first prize at Dunedin in 1881. From the above it will be seen that Crown Prince is from the greatest prize-takers in the world, his mother being about the best mare ever produced in Scotland and his father never having been beaten in Scotland or New Zealand. Crown Prince himself is a very massive horse with immense bone of the finest quality, abundant hair of the right sort, and combinin fine quality and perfect symmetry, with great power. He is just what has been long wanted in the district as a successor to Young Banker and is the very horse to use to the progeny of that successful sire. The number of mares taken will be strictly limited, and early application will be necessary. Terms—Seven Guineas, half payment on removal of mare, half on mare proving in foal. Free paddock provided, every care taken but no responsibility. To Stand this Season at Windsor Park, The Clydesdale Entire JgRITISH MONARCH. British Monarch is a beautiful bay, with plenty of good bone and hair, aud is by the imported horse British Lion, the champion horse at Oamaru and Dunedin for several years. British Lion is by Argyle (2567, vol. 6, C.5.8.) dam Darling, by Prince of Wales (673, vol. 1, C.5.8.) Argyle (2567, vol. 6, C.5.8.) is by Largo Jock (444 vol. 1), dam Jean, by Smith's horse, Old Clyde (547, vol. 1), wiuner of the third prize at the Highland Society's Show at Aberdeen in 1858, by Scotsman (754, vol. 1.) British Lion's dam Darling was got by the world-renowned Drew's Prince of Wales (643, vol. 1, C.5.8.), which horse was considered oue of the best stock-getters in the world. He was by General (322, vol, 1) out of Darling by Sampson, alias Logan's Twin (741, vol. 1) by Lofty (455, vol, 1), winner of the first prize and silver medal at Glasgow. General's dam Maggie, alias Darling, gained first prize at the Highland Society's Show held at Glasgow in 1857. British Lion's granddam Maggie was got by the famous Lochend Champion (448, vol. 1, C.5.8.) gained first prize at the Highland Society's Show at Perth in 1861, the g*old medal at the same Society's Show at Kelso in 1863, and the Glasgow premium in 1865. This proves British Lion to be descended from the best strains of blood in Scotland or the Colonies. Duchess 111., the dam of British Monarch, is by Sir Colin, grand-dam Duchess 1., imported from Victoria, by Westhorne, imported from Scotland. Duchess I. has been successful as a prizetaker both as a dry and brood mare. Duchess 111. has taken about fifteen first prizes at the Taieri, Dunedin, and Tokomariro Shows. Sir Colin was imported from Scotland by the late Mr George Bookless, in 1870, and was got by the famous horse Sampson, one of the best stock-getters in Scotland, many of his stock, including mares, having been sold at L2OO and upwards, amongst which was the famous Kilkerra mare (Colonel Fleming's) which gained many first prizes, being first as a yearling at" Renfrew, Johnston, Barrhead, Maryhili and Glasgow; as a two-year-old she-was" first at the sanie places ; as a three-year-old she was first at Glasgow and Maryhill ; and as a four-year-old was first at the Highland Society's Show at Inverness. Sir Cglin's dam Jess was owned by'Mr Thomas Young, Lochead, and from her he bred four entires. Jess' sire, the well-known horse Old Sir Colin, was never beaten in Scotland, gained the Glasgow premium, and the same year gained the L4O premium at the Highland Society's Show at Kelso. Sir Colin gained first prize as a yearling and two-year-old at all the shows, also the first at Paisley a few days before being shipped, and second at the Taieri Show in 1873, and his stock are second to none in Otago. It will be thus seen that Rritish Monarch is descended from the. best Clydesdales on both sides, and cannot but commend himself to breeders of pure stock. Good, grass paddocks provided. Every care taken but no responsibility. All mares sold or exchanged, the owner at first service held responsible, Terms ... ... ... L 6 6s. Groom's fee, ss; payable on 31st January, LORD SALISBURY.
