Sale of High-class Draught Horses.

At Green Hill Estate, Te Awamutu, tomorrow, the Farmers’ Cooperative Auctioneering Co. will hold one of the most important sales of draught horses ever held in Waikato, when they will dispose of Mr Wra. Taylor’s well-known draught stud.

In establishing and maintaining this stud Mr Taylor has spared no expense in selecting the best blood procurable in the colonies. The show ring record is one long list of triumph; but is this to be wondered at when such such sires as General Fleming, Royal Conqueror, Bettor Times, Lord Elderslie.Bcnmore, Field Marshal, Chief Commander, Glenturet, and Marcellus, and mares of the class of Gem, Sylvia, Christina F. McCormick, Lass 0’ Gowric, and Biythesome have been used to build and improve the stud. The occasion is seldom met with, and we sincerely trust that there will be many enterprising Waikato farmers who will iake the advantage of obtaining right at their doors stock that cannot be excelled in the Dominion, and of going right on from a stage that otherwise might take them a life time to arrive at.

We may mention that a brake will leave Dalgliesh and McDonald’s stable immediately on arrival of the early train from Te Aroha.
