Keddell, of Alexamha, has shown commendable interest in making every- en-* deavour to have his brood mare Hectors Own included.in the next volume of the New Zealand Trotting Stud Book. He has supplied the valuable information to the compiler that Hector's Own is by Sir Hector from a mare by Dragoon. This Dragoon mare was out of Ivy'll, by" Ike (an Australian thoroughbred) from a mare by Topthorne, who is claimed to have been an English trotter. Hector's Own, having produced Dusky Sound, 4.18 2-5, and Jack's Pal, 4.34, is eligible for the Stud Book arid is a desirable addition to it.
