THE PURE-BRED CLYDE3DALE > ENTIRE HOESE CONQUEROR, Will Stand this Beaßon at Mr James Galbraith's Carriers' Arms, Dee Street; Invercargill, and travel the surrounding districts, serving a limited number of Mares. PEDIGREE, The really grand imported entire horse, Conqueror, was bred by the famous breeder, Robert Wetherspoon, Newbigging, County of Linlithgow, Scotland. Conqueror was selected in Scotland and imported to Australia by ttiat well-known judge, Mr George Bookless, and on his arrival in Melbourne he was purchased from Messrs Bookless by Messrs A. & L. Grant, of Islington, at a very high price, and was recently purchased at Messrs MoCullooh, Campbsll & Co.'s sale for the sum of six hundred guineas. Conqueror is a rich dapple bay, with black points, stands 16 hands 2 inches high, has great strength of bone, is very powerful, with beausiful symmetry, is good tempered, and without a blemish. Conqueror is got by the famous entire, Scottish Champion, which horse wis purchased from Mr John Park, Bishoptoa, Glasgow, when two years old, for the sum it £150. Before Mr Park sold him he gained five first prizes, and when four years' old he gained the first prize of £25 at Dalkeith. At the end of the same year he was sold to the Duke of Norfolk, Master of the Horse to Her Majesty the , Queen, since which time he has got first-class stock in Scotland. (Signed) Robeet Wetheespoon, Newbigghig, County of Linlitbgow. Conqueror's dam was by the far-famed horse, Sir Walter Scott (the property of the Duke o f Hamilton), which horse never was beaten. He gained the prize in London, value £200, in 1862, against all comers. Conqueror's g. dam, Blossom, gained first as a mare with foal at foot, and first as a dry mare. Conqueror, before leaving Scotland, gained three first prizes as a yearling, first at Linlithgow, fir3t at Whitbourne, and first at Midcalder. He also gained two first prizes in Victoria, namely, first at Melton, and first at Ballan. These are the only times he was exhibited, gaining first honors on each occasion. Conqueror has proved himself a sure foal-getter of first-clasa stock. His stock took first and third at Smeaton show, first at Daylesford, first and second at Melton, and first at Ballan ; and his progeny, as yearlings and two-year olds, are fetching high prices. Three two-year old fillies were sold ia Adelaide, one for £61, one for £112, and one filly, Highland Mary, bred by Mr Brown, realised j £121 — thus showing Conqueror to be one of the truest bred Clydesdale sires in the Southern Hemisphere.
