(2.22), dam Fanny Milkmaid (2.33). j Honduras is a rich brown, stands 16 hands. 1^ inches, and is one of the most . evenly balanced and handsomest horses '! in the colony. He is compactly and ' symetrically built, strong in the quarters, , with legs like iron. He has immense bone power, and a beautiful mild temper. For the past five years he has been the leading sire of the Honduras trotting and breeding syndicate, with good results, leaving several winners, viz., Black Star, Enterprise, Clotilde, and others, and numerous prize-takers. Honduras has never been beaten in the Show ring. As a two-year-old he gained first at Timaru, and two firsts in Canterbury as a three-year-old, and six first prizes in Nelson and Richmond since, while his stock have taken first prizes as weight carriers, hackneys, dogcart horses, and express horses. Honduras while in' training won the following luces: —Seddonville Handicap, lj miles, beating Strachconan, Vauxhall, Index, Monte Christo, and Nancy Lee; time, 4min 13sec.

(Copy). From A. W. Barnes, M.R.C.V.S., Government Veterinarian, Nelson, August 11th, 1902. To Mr F. N. Jones, manager for the Honduras syndicate : I hereby certify that I have this day examined for soundness a dark brown stallion named Honduras, by Berlin—Fanny Allan, and I find him practically sound. I notice a small cut on the off fore leg, which is of long standing, and is.not likely to cause lameness. With this exception, this horse is one of the soundest animals I have ever examined. (Sgd.) A. W. Barnes, M.R.C.V.S., Nelson, August 11th, WO2. This is to certify that I have hafl charge of the trotting stallion Honduras since he was three years old, and all the time he has been quite sound and healthy, never missing a feed, and a better horse with mares it would be impossible to get, scarcely ever a miss, and a very quiet horse with his mares. I have had charge of fifteen stallions, but can safely say that Honduras has been the surest foal-getter of them all, and his stock are always first at our show grounds. (Sgd.) Felix Green, Stud Master, Spring Grove, Nelson, August 11th, 1902. For full particulars, see cards. The above credentials will show that Honduras is a horse of high merit, and breeders wishing to secure valuable stock should not miss this horse.
