It will t e noticed that Seaton Delaval is full of tne most fashionable and best-staying English blood, and it is therefore not surprising that he was a stayer of the first water 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 1| mile, and the Great Northumberland Plate of £l,OOO, at Newcastle, 2 miles, and in this race be 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 be.deu 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 at the stud, and, indeed, it is a long time since so good a horse was sent to New Zealand.”

qpHE UNDERMENTIONED THOROUGHBRED STALLION Will Stand at Sylvia Park. SEATON DELAVAL (imp.) 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). Rotherhill is by Lord Clifden (winner of the St. Leger) out of the celebrated mare Laura, the dam of Petrarch (the winner of the English Two Thousand Guineas and St. Leger), and Lord Clifden is by Newmtnster, also the winner of the English St. Leger. Melton is a great grandson of Stockwell (winner of the English St. Leger) out of a granddaughter of Thormanby, winner of the English Derby.

of St. Leger, the champion sire of the colony, whose progeny Jhas 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 8.10, 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 sufficient recommendation for Leolantis, and together with his size and substance, he should prove invaluable to breeders foxgetting racehorses, cross-country horses, hunters, and a good style of carriage ox- hackney horse. Terms : Single mares, £5 55.; two or more mares, the property of one owner, by arrangement. For further particulars apply to— F. DIBBLE, Whitford Park, Turanga Creek, Or L. D.

FpO STAND THIS SEASON AT WHITFORD PARK, The Thoroughbred Horse LEOLAJXTTIS, Bv LEOLINUS — ATLANTIS. LEOL ANTIS 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, onerace 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 2.431. In December of the same year, carrying Sst 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 Sst 31b (as a three-year-old) and beating six others ; time, 2.12. Next day, Leolantts 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 not 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 : — t, Irish Birdcatcher The Baron Ecbidna Stockwell , .
