LEOLANTIS is a chestnut horse, ten 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 Bailway Handicap; time, 1.16. The same day he won the Christmas Handicap of 100 sovs, one mile and a quarter, carrying Bst3lb (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 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:— Stockwell The Baron Irish Birdcatcher won 2000 gs won St. Leger Echidna and o> St. Leger Pocahontas Glencoe £ Marpessa . as : & ° Orlando Touchstone •S Vulture «“ Belma L’dyof Silverg keldWell Velocipede « Emma o ,j H.

The stock sired by him are big, strong, and active colts. His oldest get s are four-year-olds, and one of them, Atlantic, won hurdles races at Avondale, Takapuna, and the Hurdles and a flat race at the late Gisborne meeting. Atlantic and Leo (who broke his leg) are the only horses aired by Leolantis that have been tried. 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 for getting racehorses, cross-country horses, hunters, and a good style of carriage or hackney horse.
