STUD HORSES. J>ARK jgTUD STALLIONS FOR THE SEASON, 1896. THE UNDERMENTIONED gpHOROUGHBRED jgTALLIONS WILL STAND AT WELLINGTON PARK. CASTOR (imp.) by Zealot (son of the famous sire Hermit, -winner of the Derby, 1857) out of Lady Yardley, , by the great Sterling (sire of Isonomy—said to be the greatest racehorse of his day). Castor’s pedigree contains no less than twelve English Derby winners, six St. Leger, four Oaks, and four 2,000 Guineas; and, out of twentysix starts, Castor scored seventeen wins, four seconds, and three thirds, being only twice unplaced. Since being at the stud he has done well, and for the season 1895-96 he is sixth on the list of winning sires for New Zealand, with fifteen wins, representing £2,085. In the previous season Castor was eighth in the winning sires’ list, his seven descendants having placed 1,777 sovs to his credit. In Armilia, Collarette, and Cravat, Castor has sired three of the fastest fillies that have been seen on any racecourse, ■while in Casket he has sired a great stayer. Castor’s list is full. CUIRASSIER, by Musket (imp.) -Failty, by Goldsborough—Flora Mclvor, by New Warrior (imp.)—lo, by Sir Hercules. Cuirassier is full brother to the great sire Trenton.

Several juveniles that Cuirassier has sired are full of promise, and next season, it is safe to predict, he •will be well up in the list of winning stallions.

LEGER (imp.), by Doncastor (Derby winner) out of Atlantis, by Thormanby (Derby winner)—Hurricane (One Thousand winner), by Wild Dayrell (Derby winner).
