TO STAND THE SEASON AT PAHIATUA, THE HANDSOME THOROUGHBRED STALLION DAYSTAR, DAYSTAR is by Castor—Cissy. Cissy by Musket—Frailty, by Goldsborough—Flora Mclvor, by New .Warrior from Io by Sir Flercules. Cissy, who: was a good performer, is full sister to the mighty Trenton and Cuirassier, half-siter to Niagara, #nd three-quarter sister to Mary. Zalinski, Mousquetaire, and Havoc. The Musket-Frailty strain combines the best blood in the colony, and on this account alone Daystav’s claims cannot he overlooked. He, however, comes from a most illustrious family on both sides. His sire. Castor, is by Zealot from Lady Yardley, by Sterling from Leda, by Weatherbit from Wish, by Touchstone. Zealot is by Hermit, who, prior to his death, was the greatest sire in England, whilst his dam Zelle is by the Emporer of Stallions, Stockwell. from Barbette, who, it may be worthy of mention, is full sister to Bathilde, dam of the renowned Australian sire Splendor. Castor’s pedigree contains no less than twelve English Derby winners, six St. Leger ere, four Oaks, and four 2000 Guineas winners. Out of twentv-six starts Castor scored SEVENTEEN WINS, FOl R SECONDS and THREE THIRDS, being only TWICE UNPLACED. On his dam’s side no further comment is necessary, and enough has been said to show that Daystar is one of the best bred horses that has ever been at the service of breeders in this district. On the turf Daystar won the A.R.C. Spring Trial Handicap, seven furlongs, beating a good field: same meeting won the A.R.C. Ascot Handicap. one mile, beating Waiuku, Fabulist. Lady Marion, St. Regel. St. Paul, Anita, Retribution. Haria, and Peerless; also H.B.J.C.

Easter Handicap. 250 sovs: one mile and ahalf. beating six others; and other races. Daystar is the sire of Star Rose (N.Z. Cup winner), Starina (Egmont Produce Stakes winner), Compass (winner Wellington Winter Hurdles, of £400). and Mikotahi. Nukutihi, White Star. Gleam. Northern Star.
