The Champion Pure-bred Clydesdale Stallion, KHI6HT OF THE THISTLE (10,789 5.C.5.8.) By HANDSOME PRINCE (10,356 S.C.S B.Y. Bam MAY QUEEN (9,336 5.C.5.8.) Imported toy A. ALEXANDER, Walhi, XTormanby. KNIGHT OP THE THISTLE (10,789, vol. 22, 5.C.5.8.) is a powerful, shapely, and stoutly-bred brown horse, standing 17 hands high, and is seven years old. He was bred by Wm. Agnew, Esq., Balwherrie, Leswalt; Stranraer ,and was purchased recently by his present owner when on a visit to Scotland. Handsome Prince (Knight of the Thistle's sire) is by the world-renowned Princi of Wales (673, 5.C.5.8.) who was the greatest horse of the century. Prince of Wales gained many prizes, including first prizes at the H. and A. Show at Edinburgh in 1869, at the Royal Society's Show, Manchester, in the same year, again taking the premiership at the firstnamed Society's Show, held at Kelso in 1872. Prince of Wales lived until 23 years of age. At the age of 18 he was sold by public aviction. for £945, and ha was once leased for the season for £1,000, when his fee was 40 guineas each mare. The dam of. Handsome Prince is the celebrated Darnley (222, S.C.S.B ) mare Pandora, and her breeding is unsurpassed, her sire being the best Clydesdale ever bred. Darnley's descendents are renowned for, their superiority all over the world, and the fact of two strains of this great horse's blood being on both sides of KNIGHT OP THE THISTLE'S pedigree,' combined with the Prince of Wales strain, niust attract the favourable at"tentiorfViof breeders of high-class Clydesdales.
