The Magnificently Bred TROTTING STALLION, ■■-.■■.-■ BRAEBURN. Bka.bburn is a bright bay .and commanding looking horse, and has proved ! one of the most valuable sires brought to the district. He is by Specification from Jenny Lind by Bluegown. Specification (imp.) is by j Contractor (imp.) out of- Kate Merry Lark. Specification holds the four miles WORLD'S RECORD in harness, lOmins 47secs, also the N.Z. 3 miles record, 7mins 35secs. Jenny liind has won. many trotting races, and was never beaten in the Show ring. Bluegown twice won the Sires' Cup and many other races in Canterbury, and in 1895 he took first prize in the Trotting Stallion Class at Christchurch, beating "Wild wood. Viking, and General Tracey. From the above it will be seen that Braeburn comes from exceptionally fine stock. His own progeny, too, have made their mark in the show ring, and his late owners (Messrs Wilkie & Page) had no difficulty in obtaining from twenty to thirty guineas apiece for two-year-olds by Braeburn. ~ For dates see cards, and for further particulars apply to the owners, COOKSEY & CO., 933 Morrison-street.
