VOLUME X N.Z. STUD BOOK.

We are pleased to be able to announce to breeders and the racing public generally—a large number of whom take an

interest in the pedigrees of racehorses—

that we are in receipt of a communication from Mr A. D. Willis, of Wanganui, the publisher of volume IX. of the New Zealand Stud Book, that he has decided to issue volume X. as early as possible. Mr .Elliott, the editor, acts in conjunction with Mr Willis, and the latter states that he intends placing a really reliable book in the hands of breeders and the public. Mr Willis is now in communication with the various racing clubs, asking for their co-operation, which we hope will be taken up in a hearty manner. The book is most urgently needed, and everyone interested in breeding should assist in bringing out a book worthy of the best horse-raising country in the world. We will return to this subject next week.
