TO STAND THIS SEA BON AT BELL BLOCK. rfhuL— fTTtft THB THOROUGHMSyorafI BRED STALLION tmimhlfm The Australian* The Australian (late War Eagle) was bred by Mr W. Garrard, of Rapid Bay, South Australia, and sold as a yearling fo: 600 guineas. He is a dark brown horse, with black points, and stands 15 hands 3| inches hi^b, and is a sure foal matter, two mares only out of sixty-ninp, so far aB can be ascertained at present, having missed during the past season. Pedigree: The Australian, by Tregeagle (imported), out of Ordeal (imported), by Touchstone out of Mrs Fowler, by Heron (sire of Fisherman), gg d Muley, out of Sister to Pope, by Shuttle, &c. The Australian is a fine tempered animal and sound. A glance at the abovo pedigree will show Tbe Australian possesses tbe most fashionable blood of the day. Being a grandson of the mighty Touchstone ought to convince the most fastidious breeder of horso stock that such a strain is not to be obtained elsewhere at such a low fee. The Australian is the sire of Torpedo, who last racing season so greatly distinguished himself, " sweeping the pool " at Nelson and Tarauiki J.C. Boxing Day meeting, and cutting out the mile and a-half at Wanganui in 2min 42seo (beaten by half a lmaith by Montrose II); Sirius, Fjmjkbm, Macaboni, The Orphan, all substantial winners, and others. A 3-year-old brother to Fluke m is valaed by hisowneru at £100. rgT Last season The Australian's stock won £518, being in advance of the progeny of such highly-priced stud horses as The Dauphin, Antwoe, King Cole, Ascot, Foul Play, Armament, Sou'wester, &o. As all Tbe Außtialiati's stock are from half-bred mares, the inference is that whea mated with better bred mares something very superior will be produced. The increasing value of The Australian's stock is evidenced by the large priced commanded by his offspring, numbers from common mores having realised very high prices, and owners not caring to part with them at all since Taranaki bred horses have distinguished themselves all over the oolony.
