TfO TRAVEL THIS SEASON IN THE AUCKLAND DISTRICT, The Thoroughbred Horse, LEOLANTIS, By' LEOLINUB — ATLANTIS. LEOLANTIS is a chestnut horse, nine years old, stands about 16 hands 1 inch, and is strongly built in every way and possessed of great muscular power. As a three-year-old Leolantis easily won the Auckland Guineas, of 1890, of 150 sovs, one mile, In 1.47 J ; and the same day, one race afterwards, in the Prince of Wales Handicap, one mile and a half, carrying 7st 91b, was just beaten by Cissy, Bst 111 b (sister to Trenton), in 2.435. In December of the same year, carrying Bst 91b, he ran a close third in the Auckland Railway Handicap; time, 1.16. The same day he won the Christmas Handicap of 100 sovs, one mile and a quarter, carrying Bst 31b (as a three-year-old) and beating six others; time, 2.12. Next day, Leolantis ran third in the Auckland Derby, and was only raced once after that, through meeting with a mishap. However, Leolantis, during the time he was on the Turf, proved that he could gallop. This is nut to be wondered at when his excellent breeding is taken into consideration. A glance at the following Table will quickly disclose that he comes from a splendid family :— „ Irish Birdcatcher The Baron Echidna Stockwell , , Glencoe g Pocahontas Marpessa , Touchstone o Orlando Vulture g Belma L ’ d y°L B -i^ e ,V g keld Well Emma £•' , Comus § H.

Cup winner), and Leopold (Auckland Cup winner), from Atlantis the dam of St. Leger, the champion sire of the colony, whose progeny has won £21,672 in five racing seasons. It will be seen that Leolantis comes from a most successful strain of blood. So far Leolantis has not had a chance at the stud, but his full brother, Fabulous, is sire of Fabulist, who has won many valuable races, and is engaged in this year’s New Zealand Cup at 8.12, and is one of the favourites for the big race. However, being half-brother to such a stud success as St. Leger should alone be suificient recommendation for Leolantis, and together with his size and substance, he should prove invaluable to breeders for getting racehorses, cross-country horses, hunters, and a good style of carriage or hackney horse. The terms .have been made as liberal as possible, and are: Half-bred mares, 4 guineas; thoroughbred mares, 7 IHOLANTIS will travel the different localities as follows :—Monday and Tuesday : Howick, Flat Bush, and Whitford Park.
