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 to have their stock recorded in the pages of the work in question, are requested to furnish the undersigned, as soon as possible, witfc the fullest particulars they possess of the breeding of their hoises. The great and increasing interest shown in all the provinces in the breeding of thorough-bred 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 altogether lost, so that it will be impossible at any future time to certify to the blood of their descendants. From the circumstance that, until quite recently, no Stud Book was ever published in New South Wales, to which colony New Zealand is ao largely indebted for its horse Btock, it has already become difficult to trace the pedigrees of many of our supposed thorough-bred horses to tke English Stud Hook, tiie only recognised authority of a horse's purity of breed. A'uch, however, may be done by research and inquiry to clear np doubtful 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 information to be furnished him, or as nearly so as circumstances, will permit : — (1). REGALIA, bay mare, bred by Mr. Icely, of New South Wales, and imported to Nelson by Mr. Redwood, in 18S2; got by St. John (E.T.8.), out of Kakisb Kit, by Emigrant (E.T.8.), g dam Spaewife (E.T.8.) 1853, b c Inkerman, by Sir Heraales'i 1&54, missed to Sir Hercules 1., ~ 1855, r f Emerald, by Lamplighter f Mr< u »«ey 1850, missed lo Sir Hercules J 1857, b o Royulty, by Chevalier ~) INSB, missed to II Parbiere 1859, b c Regnum, by St. Aubin >Mr. Elliott. 1860, missed to Potentate IH6I, b f t by Towton (2).

(3). GIPSY, black mare, bred in New South W ales, imported to Nelson in 1845 ; pedigree unknown. 1847, eh c Young Barber, by ll* Barbiere 1 (cut) | 1848, br t Gipsy Queen, by II Barbiere "S 1840, bk f Zilella, by II Barbiere L S 1850, bk f Zingara, by II Babiere [ ti 1851, bk c Zingaree, by Glendon (cut) J 3 Died in 1852, (4), TOWTON, bay Horse, bred in England by Mr. S. Hawke, got by Melbourne, dam Cinizelii, by Tonchstone, g dam Brocade, by Pantaloon. Melbourne by Humphrey Clinker. Imported to New Zealand in 1858. The intials, E.T.8., signify English thoroughbred, and, where used, show that the horse to which they apply was bred in England, and may be found in the English Siud Book. 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 having 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 are defeotive, 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 all thoroughbred stallions and mares imported into Australia, from which so lare a portion of our own stock are descended; and to render reference to the English Stud Book, which is not always at hand, as little necessary as possible, pedigrees will be carried back to well-known sires and dams of English horses, so ea to show the particular strains of blood our horses posiess. The price ef the work to Subscribers will be £1 Is., to non-Subscricers, £1 Us. 6d. Subscribers are requested to send in their aames, so that they may be printed with the work. C.
