THE TROTTING STUD BOOK.

The New Zealand Trotting- Stud Book la now on sale, and as it supplies a long-felt want it should obtain a large circulation. The first portion of the book is composed of the particulars of imported and standardbred stallions and mares, their breeding and progeny. The second part includes all the colonial-bred mares and their progeny, containing trotting credentials that have been traoed. With the work is also published the «xfceuded pedigrees of such well-known; horses as Blackwood Abdallah, Berlin, Irvington and many other notable stallions, both locally and American bred^ There is also a table of New Zealand records to date and the definition of the American standards. The New Zealand Trotting Stud Book will supply a most valuable means of reference whereby the back lines of brood mares and sires, both colonial-bred and imported, can b© traced to their fountainheads; and as only a limited number of copies of the _Stud_Book will be published it would be advisable for all those desirous of obtaining copies to make early application.
