TUOHOUt HBHE Ui. TO STAND THIS SEASON At Waipukurau, The Superior Thoroughbred Entire HERCULES, Bred by Mr Murphy, of Spring Creek, and raced by Mr Redwood. Got by Ravensworth, darn Plover, by Sir Hercules, Ravenswortb by Touchstone, Fair Jean, Vernlum, Fair Queen, by Pantaloon. HERCULES is by a bay horse, stands 15J hands high, combines the best of blood, with good bone and immense power, and has proved himself a good horse on the turf. At the Canterbury meeting in 1876 won the Grand Stand Handicap, beating six others; in the same year won the Hawke’s Bay Stakes, 2 miles in 4 min. 4£ secs., beating Fishhook and Maori Weed. The Australasian in speaking of the Sire Hercules blood lately, remarked : 44 No family has gained such a reputation as that which descends from the Colonialbred Sir Hercules. In contests of every description the representatives of this line have achieved more than their share of popular triumph, from the time Mr Tait carried all before him with old Cossack (brother to Waiinea), down to the present time, when Kingsborougb, Dagworth, Reprieve, Melbourne, Sterling, Fitz-Yatterdon, Ringwood, Valentia, Calumny, and many others with a dash of the old blood, carried the owners’ colors to the fore in some of the hardest tussels of the year.” Terms—Five guineas each moro.

Black Rose is a brown horse, standing 15jj hands, with immense quarters, loins, bone, and muscle, and he has proved himself a stayer, having won the Canterbury Derby, beating Fusilier, Liverpool, Ugly Buck, Water King, Carlton, Dime, Pearl, and Lady Evelyn. The following day he ran a good second to the redoubtable Welcome Jack in the Canterbury Cup of miles, which race heled in to the distance post, where, through swerving at the crowd, he allowed the son of Miss Flat to secure the Judge’s eye a neck ahead of him.

1890. TO STAND THIS SEASON, AT WHITTLEWOOD, ASHLEY-CLINTON, The Thoroughbred Racing Sire TURQUOISE. TURQUOISE is a brown horse, with excellent quality and of good bone and substance, suitable for getting firstclass hacks and steeplechasers as well as thoroughbred flat racers of the first order. He was bred by Mr Samuel Gardiner, of Bundoora Park, of Victoria, and is got by Tubal Cuin from Tobaz, a descendant of the great Juliet family which have given to Australia more first-class racehorses than any other strain in the colonies. Martini-Henry, Nordenfeldt, Carbine, Sardonyx, First Water, Goldsborough, Robin Hood, Robinson Crusoe (sire of Trident and Navigator), and a host of other good ones are all descended from this family. Turquoise has proved himself to be a good performer on the turf, having at all distances, and under heavy weights, carried his colors te victory. As a three-year-old he was thought to be almost as good as that champion Welcome Jack. The following are some of his performances : —Won Stewards’ Handicap, six furlongs, at the C.J.C.
