AVON is a bay hone with black points, and stands 17 hands, with «of bone and hair, come of a great family. His dam was sold at 80 guineas when good mares were sold at a fourth of that price. She is out of a Blackleg mare—one of a family of four, out of the same dam, and the quartette, by Renfrew Jock, were name aaiU| ana 100 quartette, t>y -ttenirew Joe*, ware the four best horses ever bred in the Oamarn district AVON, by Avon Chief (160, N.Z.5.8.), bred by Wm Boag, Esq., Fendalton, near Christchurch, out of his famous prize mare Grace Darling (36), by Prince of Kilbride, imported (662*). Grace Darling by Prince Charlie, imported (1 aud 026*). Grace Darling was the best mare that ever stcod in New Zealand. She has been first and Champion at Christchurch many times, beating the great Maggie Craig, Champion of Scotland. She was first at Dunedin in her class and Champion of the yard, in fact her career in the ring is unprecedented. AVON'S dam, Gipsy, by Renfrew Jock (ISS), imported from Victoria ; g sire Renfrew, imported from Scotland; g dam Jess, by Blackleg, imported from Scotland, Renfrew Jock's dam Rose by Cowden Lad a famous Clydesdale, imported from Scotland by the late David Nesbitt. Renfrew Jock was a most successful show horse. Before leaving Victoria he took many firsts, and he was first 3 years in succession in Oamaru, Timaru, and Dunedin, and Champion of the yard as well. From this history breeders will recognise that they have in Avoir not only a horse of good parts but an Entire of good lineage, a matter altogether ’different from s good looking horse. The great point in horse breeding is to have a sire connected with good families of undoubted character. In the one case the stock will be uniformly good, while in the other case individuals may surpass, but the general character of the stock will be inferior and disappointing. Nothing is more grievous to a breeder than to see weeds spring from a good looking sire Terms, Li J Groom's Fee, 6s. 277 For full information apply to KOBBlf"" fir DONALDSON, Groom iu charge.
