the very successful sire Melton, a good looking, sound t 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.” Melton was sold some years back to the Italian Government for £lO,OOO, and English breeders have ever since been regretting that he was allowed to leave the country, as his stock have been uniformly successful. Owing to . his being abroad, there wen- no two-year-olds to represent him in 1894, but in reviewing the racing season of that year, the London Times of December 14th, 1896, says :— 1 “ Melton, with 23 winners of over £13,000, should be given precedence over Wisdom, for Best Man, who won 8 races, j is undoubtedly his son, and as Melton’s progeny have won j £25.000 in the last two seasons, and have included such animals as Best Man, Avington, Bullingdon, and Indian Queen, it is easy to understand the regret felt at his being t exported to Italy.” p Terms for Approved Mares.—ls guineas for single mare; 12 guineas two or more the property of the same owner. Grazing at Sylvia Park by arrangement. All care taken, but no responsibility accepted. Groomage, 2s 6d. For particulars apply to L. D. NATHAN & Co. WEtLISaTOS PAM STUD. STALLIONS FOR THE SEASON 1898.
