By Melton (the well-known English Derby and St. Leger winner of 1885) out of Rosedale, by Rotherhill out of Moss Rose, by King Tom out of Couleur de Rose, by West Australian (also winner of the English Derby and St. Leger).

Seaton Delaval won as a’ two-year-old, as a three-year-old, and as a four-year-old, and quitted the turf in 1894, as a five-year-old, sound in wind and limb. For quality and beauty of outline it would indeed be difficult to match him, and he ought to be a most successful stallion. The more noteworthy of the many triumphs were winning the Great Northern Handicap of £5OO at York, distance mile, and the Great Northumberland Plate of £l,OOO,- at Newcastle, 2 miles, and in this race he beat the winners of the Chester Cup, of the Manchester Cup, and of the City and Suburban. He also ran second in the Great Metropolitan Stake at Epsom, 2} miles : only beaten a head ; and in that race had behind him the winners of the. Great Yorkshire Handicap, of the Goodwood Stakes, and of the Northamptonshire Stakes. The London Sportsman of December 19, 1894. writes as follows:—“As a son of the very successful sire Melton, a good-looking, sound horse, and a rare stayer, Seaton Delaval is pretty sure to make his mark atlhe stud, and, indeed, it is a long time since so good a horse was sent to New Zealand.” Melton was sold some years back to the Italian Government for £lO,OOO, and English breeders have ever’since been regretting that he was allowed to leave the country, as his stock have been uniformly successful. Owing to his being abroad, there were no two-year-olds to represent him in 1894, but iu reviewing'the racing season of that year, the London Ttmes of December 14th last says:— “Melton, with 23 winners of over £13,000, should be given precedence over Wisdom, for Best Man, who won 8 races, is undoubtedly his son, and as Melton’s progeny have won £25,000 in the last two seasons; and have included such animals as Best Man, Avihg-foh, Bullingdon, and Indian Queen, it is easy to understand the regret felt at his being exported to Italy.” Terms for Approved Mares. —ls guineas for single mare; 12 guineas two or more the property of the same' owner. Grazing at Sylvia Park by arrangement. All care taken but no responsibility accepted. For particulars apply to L. D. NATHAN & CO.

Meeting : third to Acme and Madelina, Maribyrnong Plate, 5 furlongs, 1.41-; won Flying Stakes, beating Madeline and Acme, 2 mile ; third in December Stakes, 5 furlongs, 9.1, time 1.3; second in Ascot Vale Stakes, 2 mile, 9.6, time 1.18. A. J.C.: Won Champagne Stakes, 6 furlongs, 8.10. time 1.15; second First Foal Stakes, 9.0, Volcano first, 8.2, 6 furlongs, 1.14. At three years : Second in A. J.C. Derby, won by 'Trident, 2.38 (fastest ever been run); second to Trident in the Champion Race. V.R.C., 3 miles ; and second to Abner in Doncaster Handicap, A.J.C. It will therefore be seen that his performances are first rate at all distances and under big weights, and being a change of blood in this colony, and coming from a good . racing family—Vespasian being a first-class performer’ in England under big weights—ought to be everything that is desired to beget racehorses. At the Bourke Meeting in May, 1894, three of his gets were first, second, and third in the Mare’s Produce Stakes. He is also sire of Caroline, the winner of the Sires’ Produce Stakes on the second day. Terms : Thoroughbred Mares, 10 guineas; two or more, 7 guineas ; Half-breds, 5 guineas. Grazing at 2s 6d per -week. Every care taken, but no responsibility. For further particulars apply 1 o . W. WALTERS, Papakura.
