A&hm T^ TRAVEL PALffwf _ "-■- MERSTON and ■WAIKQUAITI DlSiS^jyyir BARON GRACEFUL - BARON GRACEFUL (11,259, C.5.8., imp.)- is a very handsome bay colt, foaled May, 1900; stands well on good feet and legs, with lots of quality, and nice action. He was bred by Messrs A. and W. Montgomery, Netherhall, and Banks, Kirkcudbright, Scotland; imported to Australia in 1903 by Mr J. E. Walter, of Glen Luss Stud, Werribee; -thence to 3Tew Zealand by the present owner. His sire, -Baron's Pride (9122, C.5.8.), is celebrated as the best breeding horse of the present day throughout Scotland. He was awarded numerous local prizes as a youngster, and in 1894, when, four years old, was first and champion male Clydesdale exhibited at ;the Highland and! Agricultural Society's show, Aberdeen. BARON GRACEFUL'S dam, Graceful (13,977), by Macgregor (1487). Macgr-egor gained first prize at Dairy, second at Kil_marnock, and first at Dalbeattie in 1879 when a yearling. . BARON GRACEFUL won third prize at the Royal Society's show, Carlisle, in July, 1902, in a strong class. He also won first prize at Kirkcudbright. His full sister won last year first and champion prizes at Castle Douglas and Xilmarnock, and first prize at Ayr for best yearling filly. ■Blacon Jewel is a full sister to Baron Graceful, and has won numerous prizes; and. was sold at the Blacon Point sale for 150gs. The Norfch^ British Agriculturist says: "This filly was father ' missed' by the company. She is a beautiful animal, and in comparison -with the others was sold much under her value at 150g5." The average realised for 12 females sired by Baron's Pride was £223 4s 3d. The total proceeds of the sale for 30 head of stock amounted to £456S Bs, or an average of £152 3s 7d. This only shows that Baron's Pride is just as great a horse in the sale ring as the show yard, and the former is the true test. Blacon Jewel (renamed Lady Alexander') was first at the Highland Society's show at Glasgow ,and first at Edinburgh. Baron Graceful's first crop of foals in Ne-w Zealand show great promise, and compare with any in the land — the fact is, it is impossible for Abbot or Baron Graceful not to breed a lot of good colts and fillies. -^ Letters addressed to the groom in charge, Pairnerston, will be attended to. Terms: Paddocks for marcs from a distance will be arranged for. Mares sold or exchanged held to be in foal. All care, but no responsibility. FEES : 50s at end of season, 50s on mare proving in foal.
