The Imported English Thoroughbred Sire MARKHOPE (7). (One of the best-bred Stallions in the World.) MARKHOPE is a commanding Bay Horse bred by his Majesty the King in 1912 at the Royal Stud in England, and is a horse of great quality. Sire Marcovil, dam Nadejda (full sister to Persimmon, Diamond Jubilee, and Florizel 11, one of the greateet families in the English Stud Book). Persimmon won the Derby, the St. Leger, the Eclipse Stakes, the Ascot Gold Cup. etc., and is the sire of winners of over £232.000, including Prince Palatine (sold for 40,0COgs), Sceptre, Your Majesty, Perola, and Keystone 11, all classical winners. Diamond Jubilee won- the Derby, the St. Leger, the Two Thousand Guineas, the Eclipse Stakes the Newmarket Stakes, etc., and was sold to go to the Argentine for 30,000g5, where he is at the top of the list of winning sires last year. MARKHOPE is a sure foal-getter, and will serve a limited number of mares at TWENTY GUINEAS. Every possible care given to mares, but no responsibility for accidents will be ac cepted. Hurry On, the best three-year-old colt in England last season, and who won every race he started in, is by Marcovil, who is also the sire of Markhope. Markhope's first crop of foals are very promising. As this Sire's list is nearly full, early application is necessary. For cards of extended pedigreo and further particulars apply to BRUCE CHRISTIE, lau Oamaru.
