Wellington, Sth Oct., 1861. • ' NEW ZEALAND STUD BOOK. AS it is proposed, to publish, early next year, a STUD HOOK ior New Zealand, persona possessed, of thoroughbred horses, who wish to have their stock recorded in the pages of the worls in question, are requested to furnish the undersigned, as soon as possible, with the fullest particulars they possess of the breeding of their hoises. . Tbe and increasing interest shown in alt the provinces in the breeding of thorough-bred horte stock, renders a work of the above character highly desirable, as, without it, in a few years they pedigrees of many valuable animals will be altogether lost, so that it will be impossible at any future time to certify to the blood of their descen- > dnnts. From the circumstance that, until quite recenlly, no Stud Book was ever published iv New South Wales, to which colony New .Zealand is "so largely indebted for its horse stock, , it has already become difficult to trace the pedigrees of many of _ our snpposed thorough-bred horses to the English ~ Stud Book, the only recognised authority of ft horse's purity of breed. Much, however, may be done by research and inquiry to clear up doubtful pedigrees if the task is at once undertaken, but tbe ; longer the w.ork is deferred the greater will be the difficulty of ultimate success. • The following is given 89 specimens of the form in which the Editor of the work wishes information to be ftfrnished him, or as nearly so as circumstances will permit : — (1). REGALIA, bay mare, bred by Mr. Icelt, of New South Wales, and imported to Nelson by " Mr. Redwood, in 18V3; got by St. John (E.T.8.), out of Rakish Kit, by Emigrant ( E.T.8.), g dam Spaewfre (E.T.8.)

The intials, E.T.8., signify English thoroughbred, and, where used, show that the horse to whichthey apply was bred in England, and may be found in the English Stud Book. • As. a New Zealand Stud_Book will be a work of. great value to all hreMefs oTTnßfnnigbbrßd-hpraes in the colony, and will, hereafter, be a Bta,adard, - book of reference, it is hoped that persons haying thoroughbred stock, or what are supposed to be so, will lose no time, in furnishing the Editor with the fullest information they possess respecting ' them. Where pedigrees of colonial-bred horses ar« defe'e- * tire, the Editor will endeavour, when practicable, to render them perfect. The New Zealand Stud Book will be uniform in size and style with the English' Stud Book, and contain in addition .to .those .of .our own colonial horses, the pedigrees, as far as they can be procured, of nil thoroughbred stallions and mareß imported into Australia, from which so lare a portion of our own stock are descended; and to render reference to the English Stifd Book, wbieh is not, always lit hand, as little necessary as' possible, pedigrees will be carried back to' well-known sires and dams of English horses, so. as to show the particular strains of blood our horses possess. The price ef the work to Subscribers' will be £1 Is., to non-Subscricers, £1 Us. 6d. Subscribers are requested to send .in their names, bo that they may be printed with the work. C ELLIOTT, .
