jgTALLIONS FOR THE SEASON 1895. The undermentioned THOROUGHBRED STALLIONS Will STAND AT WELLINGTON PARK CASTOR (imp.) by Zealot v son of the famous sire Hermit, "winner of the Derby, 1867) out of Lady Yardley, by the great Sterling (sire of Isonomy— said to be the greatest racehorse of his day). Castor was a great performer at all weights and distances, winning 22 races out of 28, starts. His descendants have only started their turf career; yet their, work was so good last season that he stands eighth in the winning sires’ list, his 7 descendants having placed 1777 sovs to his credit. Castor’s first gets have all shown ability on the Turf. His four-year-old son, Three Star, has the following record for his two-year-old running:—A.R.C. Summer: won Great Northern Foal Stakes, 6 furlongs, 8.10, in 1.191, Nixie, 8.5, second, Doris, 8.5, third; second in Midsummer Handicap, 5 furlongs, 9.0, won by Nixie, 8.7. A.R.C. Autumn: won Northern Champagne Stakes, 6 furlongs, 9.3, Grenadier, 8.10, second, Anniversary, 8.8, third. The Castor —Veneration filly Ivy won the Wanganui J.C.’s Nursery Handicap, 5 furlongs, with 6.10, in 1.4, and at the Auckland Racing Club’s Autumn Meeting she won the Onslow Stakes, 6 furlongs, with 7.4, in 1.19. Since her arrival in America. she .has started eight times, won three times, finished second three times, and third once. His colt out of Bangle, Casket, finished second in the Marshall Memorial Stakes of 6 furlongs, at the D. J.C. Autumn Meeting, won by Forbury, and also ran a second with 8.10 in the Champagne Stakes, won by Bluefire, 8.8. Last season Bangle’s son showed improvement, his work placing him fourth in the list of winning horses, with 1187 sovs against his name. Orion’s Belt (from Bangle), one of Castor’s two-year-olds last season, has good performances standing against his name, and is considered a more than promising three-year-old. Castor’s Necklace filly, Collarette, ran sec- ' ondto Patroness at level weights in the A.J.C. Two-year-old Maiden Stakes, and on the third day of the meeting she beat Patroness and similar company to that which met her the first day, winning the 6 furlong Nursery Handicap in Castor’s list is full. CUIRASSIER by Musket (imp.)—Frailty, by Goldsbrough—Flora Mclvor, by New Warrior (imp.)—lo, by Sir Hercules. Cuirassier is full brother to that successful sire Trenton, who in his first season in Australia has sired Ronda (second in Melbourne Cup), Delaware, Etra-Weenie (winner of the Maribyrnong Plate and V.R.C. Oaks', Gaillardia, Lady Trenton, Light Artillery (one of the best two-year-olds of his season) — all good winners. Cuirassier himself ran second to Manton in the Hawkes Bay Guineas (beaten a head), and won. the Great Northern Derby (beating Manton, Raglan, Hilda, etc., in the fast time of 2min 40jsec), the Great Northern St. Leger, Railway Stakes Handicap, and Trial Stakes. Terms 25 guineas for single mare ; 20 guineas two or more the property of the same owner. ST. LEGER (imp.), by Doncaster (Derby winner) out of Atlantis, by Thormanby (Derby winner) —Hurricane (One Thousand winner), by Wild Dayrell (Derby winner). St. Leger was second on the list as winner-produc-ing sire for 1891-92, and was at the top of the tree for season 1892-93, with 14 winners of £5,250 7s 6d. He was second for season 1893-94, and last season stood at the top of the tree with 19 winners of £4,559 16s 6d. In view of the fact that his greatest son, St. Hippo, was not racing last season, and that he only had one two-year-old on the track, this record is a most meritorious one. Three of his descendants (Impulse, St. Clements, and Waiuku) alone took £2,490 9s. St. Leger is sire of St. Hippo, winner of the Hawke’s Bay Guineas and Spring Handicap, New Zealand Cup in fastest time on record, Auckland Cup, Auckland Plate, and Great Northern Derby, and sire of other big winners, such as Clanranald, Hippomenes, St. Andrew, St. Clements, Impulse, Waiuku, Doris, Begel, Retaliation, St. Anthony, Marquis of Tewkesbury, Town Moor, St. Hilda, St. Patrick, Ben Godfrey. Terms: 30 guineas for single mares; 25 guineas two or more mares belonging to the same owner. HOTCHKISS by Musket (imp.J—Petroleuse (imp.), by Oxford —Hartshorn, by Mountain Deer. This son of Musket produced Forma, the champion two-year-old of the North during last season, and True Blue, whose achievements in Australia stamp him as a racer from whom much may be expected. At the A.R.C. First Spring Meeting 1894-95 Forma won the September Stakes, 4 furlongs (winning in a canter) in 57sec, and at the Second Spring Meeting the Welcome Stakes, 5 furlongs, in 1.5 J. At the A.R.C. Summer Meeting she won the Sylvia Handicap, 6 furlongs, in 1.18, carrying 8.7. At the A.R.C. Autumn Meeting she won the Champagne Stakes, 6 furlongs, carrying 8.8, in 1.19 J, and the Ellerslie Handicap, carrying 9.3, in 1.18. In these races Forma “walked home.” True Blue’s two-year-old running shows he won Sydney Tattersall’s Juvenile Stakes, 5 furlongs, in 1.21 (carrying 7,7), and the A.J.C. First Nursery Handicap, 5 furlongs,m 1.5 (carrying 8.5). He finished third in the Bathurst T.C. Sovereign Stakes, 1 mile (carrying 7.5) to Alice Hawthorne (6.7) and Mormon (7.2), time l.&i; and in the Second Sovereign Stakes, at the same meeting, he finished second. Linstock did staunch two-year-old work last season, showing the possession of brilliant dash, and Virago’s running was also of more than ordinary promise. Hotchkiss’ half-sister Leonessa is dam of Westmere, who Was well up in the list of winning two-year-olds. Terms : 20 guineas a mare ; 15 guineas two or more. Grazing at 2s 6d per week. Every care taken, but no responsibility inclin ed. Further particulars may be obtained from [JERRY KENNELLY, StudJGroom; . Andfatthe Stud'Oifice, Durham Street,f Auckland. | faMWHe
