THE IMPORTED thoroughbred STALLION SOULT, Will Stand this Season at GLENLORA park stud farm, papakura . (Neab Auckland - ). SOULT h s had very few first-class Mares, but any he has had have proved winners. He had twelve of his progeny racing last season, and nine of them proved winners, and the others very close up. The following are a few of his winners Orange and Blue, Lady Avon, Wairiki, Aus’erlitz, Soriltina (who won whenever started , Sandy. Amount of stakes won by his stock last season in New Zealand £l7OO, bringing his total over £4OOO. c S ULT, amongst numerous races, won the Lane Stakes ,of 500 sovs, Liverpool Stewards’ Stakes of 500 sovs, Ovingdon Stakes of 250 sovs, The Match, at Newmarket, of 300 sovs, and Brighton Plate of 150 sovs. In these races he beat some of the best running in England, viz. ■— Worcester (City and Suburban Handicap), Sylvanus, Fatherless (winner of Great Metropolitan), Simony, Son of a Gun, El Diable, Perigord, Miss Butterwick (Oats winner), Gang Awa (Goodwood Cup winner), Marcion, Portrush, and several others, and was a good performer at aU distances. St. Simon, the sire of Boult, is at head of winning sires in England, and tne few sons of St. Simon at the stud in England—St. Serf, Haut Brion and Adieu—have proved themselves winner-producers. In fact, St. Serf is second on ’the list of winning sires, his sire holding p remier position. St. Simon, the champion of England, being the sire of and' this must impress upon owners of thoroughbred mares the advisability of making an early application for this valuable young and fashionable stallion’s services. Beauhamais, dam of Soult. won several races at Newmarket, and is also dam of Barbelle, Wild Beauty, The Beau and Hortense, all winners. Her sire, See Saw, won twelve races, and her grandsire, Buccaneer, won fifteen races. Josephine, her granddam, was also a great winner. Inheritas, her great granddam, won forty-seven races, thus conclusively proving the great running strains on the sire and dam’s side in Soult’s pedigree. - ! “Owners of Musket blood mares should secure the service of this horse, as Bobadil is by a St. Simon horse out, of a Nordenfeldt mare.
