Horatio, by Maribyrong, by Fißherman. Progress, by Anjjler. Trident, by Robinson Crusoe, by Angler, by Fisherman. It will be scon from the abovo that the stout-hearted Fisherman has been oven more to the Australian Turf than Traducer to the New Zealand. The fact that Piscatorious is the only Fisherman and Traducer nick obtainable should be sufficient to entitle him to the respect of breeders. Yearlings by Piscatorious, out of Thoroughbred mares, would bring at auction from 100 to 150 guineas in any part oi the world, Owners of mares who are desirous to breed high priced youngsters should stick to winning strains and put their marcs to a horse bred on the lines of Piscatorious, whose breeding alone would command him a big season in any part of the world. Piscatorious' first get when a yearling brought 250 guineas, He was shipped to Sydney to take part in the big two-year-old events of New South Wales and Victoria, and Binco he landed Jin Sydney he has been purchased at the high figure of 700 guineas by a well-known New South Wales sportsman, After his performance in the HawkesburyGuineaß in September the "Town& Country Journal" stated that the owner of Kingfish had refused an offer'of four figures for the colt, In speaking of this colt, the Australian sporting scribes always give him the prefix of the "handsome" Kingfish. "Augur" in the "Australasian" says he was not within 101b of hiß beßt form, when ha raced in the A.J.O, Derby against Tri<j dent. •In Hawkes Bay Piscatorious has obtained Champion Prizes two years in succession, and no matter what class of mare patronises him, the breeder is sura to jjet something that will recoup him for his outlay, on account of his puroness of blood,. size and substance. His two-year-olds in Hawkes Bay, out of average mares, cannot be purchased under6oguineas, 1 ' • Hermit in by Ncwminster, by Touchstone. Blood will tell. Piscatorious has more pure Touchstone blood coursing, through his veins than any other horse living. It is no idle boast to Bay that Piscatorious is the beßt bted sire south of the line, for undoubt edly ho is, and, moreover, he is in every respect what his pedigree would imply—a magnificent stamp of a thoroughbred race* horse, possessing great power, and full of stout and fast blood. No doubt the Hon, J. White's big success is through keepiug atiictly to winning strains. The best horse he ever owned was Trident, by Robinson Crusoe, by Angler, by Fisherman, Some sportsmen aver that it is " White's luck," It is no such thing. It is his sound sense, and gooi judgment, that carrys that gentleman through. There is no secretin tho matter, and he knows that to breed winners, it iB necessary to stick to winning families. 'ln color Piscatorious is a beautiful dark brown, with black points, standing 16 hands 2in high, has a neat expressive head (never a neater or cleaner head set on a neck), -indicative of a good temper. His neck is long and muscular, with windpipe well detached; his shoulders aro deep and well laid back, and good enough for any thingi He's a grand topped W Piscatorious hurt himself in a wire fence when a youngster, and from the effects'of thlß accident he has always suffered more or less during the whole timo he was training. Despite all these drawbacks, when a threeyear old, he started in fourteen races, won nine, aud ran second twice. TERMS Thoroughbred .
