The Pare Clydesdale Stallion AVON” plenty of bone end b«ir. lie u come of a great family. His dam was sold at 80 guineas when good U ak-a Q. _ AVON is a bay hone with black .points, and stands 17 hands, with mares were sold at a fourth of that price. She is out of a Blackleg mare—one ofa family of four, out of the same dam, and the quartette, by Renfrew Jock, were the four best horses ever bred in the Oamarn district. AVON, by Avon Chief (150, N. Z.S. B.), bred by Wm Boag, Ksq., 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 and 626*). Grace Darling was the best mare that ever steed 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 (135), imported from Victoria; g sire Renfrew, imported from Scotland; g dam Jess, by Blackleg, impcrted from Scotland. Renfrew Jock's dam Rote, by Cowden Lad a famous Clydesdale, imported from Scotland by the late Dand Nesbitt. Renfrew Jock was a moat successful show horse. Before leering Victoria be took many firsts, and he was first 3 years in succession in Oamsru, Timaru, and Dunedin, and Champion of the yard as well. from this history breeders will recognise that they hare in Arojr not only a horse of good parts, but an Entire of good lineage, a matter altogether different from a good looking horse. The great point in bone breeding is to hare a sire connected with good families of undoubted obarsoter. In the one oeee the stock will be uniformly good, while in the other oeee iediriduals may surpass, but lbs general character of the stock anil be inferior and disappointing. Nothing is more grietotu to e breeder than to see weeds spring from a good looking lira. Terms, £4 i Groom’s Fee, 6s. For full information spply to ROBERT DONALDSON, 277 Groosn in charge.
