ISAAC WALTON is a dark-brnwn horse stauding about 15 hands 3in high, nud unites in a remarkable degree symetry with size, and inherits from both his sire and dam the most .fashionable strains, and in his blood for every requisite speed, stoutness, running family, both on tho sides of sire and dam. Cannot be surpassed. Reference to Isaac Walton's tabulated pedigree will stow that his sire, Dainty Ariel (who as a racehorso made his mark in New Zealand), through his siro and dam Bidcilesworth and Althaea, is in possession of no loss than ton ( 10) distinct ' s.trains of tho world- renowned Eclipse blood: ; Fanny Fisher is a daughter of the celebrated Fisherman' (a), who as &. racehorse won seventy-six (76) rucos in England, amongst hi 3 wins being 1 tho Ascot Cup twiob, viz., 1858 and 1859, Amongst those racehorses ."who claim P isht-rman as their siro may be montioned Fishhook, winner of the Australian Champion Race 1867, Australian St Leper 1867, Ascot Vale States 1867, Sydney Gold Cup 1867, Sydney Jockey Clnb-Fiate, 3 miles, 1867, &c. Angler, (sire of Progress) who won the Victorian Derby 1865, Victorian St Leg-ir 1875, &a.

Fanny Fisher's dam Ooquetto, by Lancelot, brother of Touchstone (Abaft), inherits the following valuable stxaius ; Camel, Whaleb ne, Waxy, Potass, Eclipse. . Fanny Fisher was bred by Hurtlo Fisher, Fsq., Victoria, and meeting with an accident as a two year old only started once. ■ She was then purchased by Mr H Waltefsj and by him imported to Auckland; It will be seer- that Isaac Walton is half-brothor to (he following horses through his dame Fanny Fisher : King' Fisher, winner of the Auckland Cup; Piscatorious, winner of several races as a 3-year-old ; .Fisherwoman, Torpedo, and full brother to Hipppcampus. As a well known judge remarked from her breeding " the dam of Isaac Walton can produce nothing but a racehorse." Isaac Walton was ono cf the. fastest and gamest racehorses ever stripped in Now Zealand.' Ho only started once as two-year-old, when ho won the Auckland Champagne Stakes. As thrpe-year-old he started twenty-three times, winning fifteen races. He raced for about six years afterwards winning many of the prin'iipal races in New Zealand The last season of his racing career ho met his own son Billingsgate with Ost up each, and defeated him on the Wanganui Racecourse. This is a victory no " other racehorse in New Zealand can claim, as all racing men must know one milo was Billingsgate's favourite distance. As .will be seen, Isaac Walton is the siro of Billingsgate, Sylvio the steeplechase horse, Takapu, Angler, Bard, Pink Rose, Black Joe, and many other wellknown performers. If sufficient inducement should offer ho will travel to Mai ton, passing Turakina on the road, every Monday, staying at William Gardner's stables, and returning on Tuesday. TEEMS— SINGLE MARES £3 3s.

Ho will bear cloce scrutiny, . a_%' t ho has good sound feet, strong- pasterns, short, well shaped cannon bones, roifscular arms and thighs, good hocks and £nßes, well-shaped shoulders, ■well shaped quarters, roomy chest, good middle .piece} nice rein and handsome head. ■•■•■,•. -til , ; V-- . Although Wapiti has been in constant training for five years, and done a lot of hard work his legs are still quite sound without blemish, a quality breeders cannot estimate) too highly in a sire, as it is a ruinous thing to train horses whose legs give way directly they are' put into really hard work. The Muskets nearly all had thib failing, and cost their owners and the tho public dearly in coneequenco, whilst tbo Paintors on the contrary are blessed with everlasting lejfs. Wapiti is not at all unlike the great son of the Marquis and Art Union. In judging by tre work his own legs havo stood without injury, it is a fair deduction to infer that Wapiti's stock will possessequally serviceable understandings As a racehorso he has won a fair number of evonts. He won the Auckland Welcome Stakes as a two year old. The following year he won the Grand Stand Handicap at Auckland, beating Salvage, Tjm Whiffler, Libeller, and .others. As a four year old he carried off the Flying Handicap of five furlongs iv lmin. 3J sees., at the C.J.C. Spring Meeting. At the Summer Meeting ho won the Midsummer Handicap, two miles, beating Tasmaa and others. At the Autumn Meeting he won the Easter Handicap, 1 mile, beating Nelson, Lady Emma and others. As a five year old he annexed the Tradesman's Plate and other events at the Auckland, R.C Mooting; the Napier Cup Handicap beating Spade Guinea and others; the Flying Handicap, 5 of a mile, beating Pasha and othere : the Waverly Stakes Handicap. 7 furlongs, at .the Napier Park Autumn Meeting ; tho Kensington Park Haudicnp, li miles; aud the Flying Stakes at the North Auckland J C Meeting; as also the Consolation Handicap at the South Auckland R C Meeting. The above, is but a portion of Wapiti's performances. It will bo S3en by Wapiti's performances that he has beaton all the great horses of his day, such us Nelson, Spado Guinea, Mitrileuso, Libeller, Sou'wester, Lady Emma, Tim Whiffler, Tasmaia and others. King Cole, the Bire of Wapiti, is by King Tom, whose dam, Pocahoutas, was also j mother of those grand horses Stockwell and Rataplan, the former of whom earned for himself the well deserved title of " Emperor of Stallions." King Cole's dam Qui Vive, was a daughter of tho mighty Voltiguer, out of Mistress Ridgway, a daughter of Irish Birdeatchor. On tho dam's side Wapiti is equally well descend«d, as Realisation is a daughter of Vespasian whose siro, New Minister was a son of Touchstone, wljoeo blood is the very patent of equine nobility. Hopeful Duchess, dam of Realisation, was by Flying Dutchman, out of Espoir, a daughter of Liverpool. If sufficient induceruonfc slicmld offer he will travel between Wanganui and Turakina. Will travel to Turakina on Monday, returning on Tuesday ; to Ntxkumaru on Thursday, returning on Friday; the remainder of the week at home. Terms — Single Mares, .£3 3s.
