NEW ZEALAND STUD BOOK. AS it is proposed to publish, early next.year, a STUD BOOK for New Zealand, persons possessed of thoroughbred horses, who wish te have their stock recorded in the pages of the work in question, are requested to furnish the undersigned, as soon as possible, with the fullest particulars they possess of tbe breeding of their hoises. - The preat and increasing interest shown in all the provinces in the breeding of thorouglubre* horse stock, renders a work of the above character highly desirable, as, without it, in a few years 'the pedigrees of many valuable animals will be aleegether lost, so that it will be impossible at any future time to certify to the blopd of their descendants. From the circumstance that, until quite recently, no Stnd Book was ever published in New South Wales, to which colony New Zealand is'se largely indebted for its horse stork,- it has.already become difficult to trace the pedigrees of many of our supposed thorough-bred horses to the English Stud Book, the only recognised authority of a horse's purity of breed. Much, however, maybe done by research and inquiry to clear up doubtfßl pedigrees if the task is at once undertaken, but the longer the work is deferred the greater will be the difficulty of ultimate success. The following is given as specimens of the form in which the Editor of the work wishes informatios to be furnished him, or as nearly ,so as circant- ■■'. stances will permit : — (1). REGALIA, bay mare, bred by Mr. Icblt, of New South Wales, and imported to Nelson byMr. Redwood, in 1853 ; got by * St. John (E.T.8.), out of Rakish Kit, by' Emigrant (E.T.8.), gdam,Spaewife (E.T.8.) ■ 1853, b c Ittkerman,. by.

As a New Zealand Stud Book will be a work 'of great value to all breeders of thoroughbred horses in the colony, and will, hereafter, be a standard book of reference, it is hoped that persons thf.yj.ug thoroughbred stock, or what are supposed tq.be"se, will lose no time in furnishing the" Kditor. wftti S me fullest information they possess respecting, ttiem. Where pedigrees of coloniaUbred. horses are defeslive, the Editor will endeavour, when .practicable, to render them .perfect. r ■ The New Zealand Stud Book will be uniform. in size and style with the English Stud 'Book, 'arid contain in addition to those of- our;' own colonial horses, the pedigrees, as far as they pan be precured, of all thoroughbred , stallions and mares imported into Australia, from which so lare apportion of our own stock are desoenaVd; and to render reference .to the English Stud Book, wbiSfi v i«' net always at 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 postesß.
