The thoroughbred imported STALLION, GOLD REEF, Will stand this season at PALMERSTON NORTH. GOLD REEF is a handsome brown horse, without a white mark, standing 16 hands, stoutly built, showing a lot of quality, and a horse with exceUent bone, measuring 8J inches around the cannon bone. He has a grand constitution and a good temper 1 He has had several seasons racing, yet tie has retired sound enough to stand another preparation if required. To students of breeding, a perusal of Gold Reef s tabulated pedigree will prove him to be one of the stoutest bred horses in the English Stud Book. His sire (Bend Or), winner of the English Derby, was also sire of the unbeaten Ormonde, and his dam (Crucible), besides being a good performer, is also dam of those good racehorses Gold Seeker, Sorcerer, Goldfield, and Gold Leaf. Thus it will be seen that Gold Beef comes from an exceUent running family, and, if given a chance with good mares, it is fair to assume that he will become a winner-producer. The foUowing is Gold Reef’s tabulated pedigree Irish Birdcatcher The Baron Echidna StoekwaU | POC>hOntaa . • § Teddington Marigold “ Sister to Ratan ° Singapore Dtr. of Melbourne p , m Pantaloon ffl Windhound Phryne „ Thormanby g Alice Muley Moloch Hawthorne Rebecca 02 s Sandbeck !

It will thus be seen that Gold Reef, besides haying proved himself a racehorse, has also been a great weight-earner. GOLD BEEF will serve a limited number of mares. Thoroughbred mare 10 guineas; approved half-bred mares, 5 guineas. , „ Mares will be grazed at Mr Robert Stevens farm, Palmerston North, one of the best and most sheltered properties in the Manawatu district.
