S EATON DELAVAL. By Melton, out of Rosedale, by Rutherhill out of Mos Rosa, by King Tom' out of Coultur de Rose, by Wes Australian. It will be noticed that Seaton Delaval is full of the 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 flve-vear old, sound in wind and limb. For quality and beauty of outline it would indeed be difficult to match him, and has been a most successful stallion. The more noteworthy of the many triumphs were winning the Great Northern Handicap of £5OO at York, distance one mile and three-quarters, and the Great Northumberland Plate of £lOlO at Newcastle, two miles, and in this race he 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 Stakes at Epsom, two miles and a-quarter; only beaten 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 goodlooking. sound horse, and a rare stayer, Seaton Delaval is pretty sure to make his mark at the stud, and, indeed, it is a lang 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 legretting that he was allowed to leave the country, as his stock have been uniformly successful. Owing to his being abroad, there were no two-year-olds to represent him in 1894, but in reviewing the racing season of that year, ths London “ Times ” of December 14 last says:—“ Melton, with twenty-three winners of over £13,000, should be given precedence over Wisdom, for Best Man. who won eight races, is undoubtedly his son, and as Melton’s progenv have won £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 exported to Italy.” So greatly has this regret been felt that Melton has since been re-imported into England, and he had a full subscription of mares f- r 1901 at £lOO service for each. This is owing to the remarkable and uniform success of his first crop of two-year-olds sired since his re-importa-tion that were running in 1900. Eight of them won no less than £12.857 in stab es, and of these more than one was unlucky in being badly ridlen in races they otherwise would have won. Two of these two-year-olds, Toddington and Princess Melton, were sold privately for £25,000, and later in the year the remaining six not thought to be as good, were sold by auction for £12,852, making! in all £37.852 for eight two-year olds after they had won £12.857 in stakes, equalling for sale price ana stakes over £50,000 for eight Melton two year-olds. This is believed to constitute a reco'd in any part of the world. Seaton Delaval has sired the following winners:—Rosella, Miss Delaval, Hastings, Blue haul Vai R sa, Beddington, Jim Kean, Laetitia, Paul Seaton, Belf >st, Spark, Mara, Nonette, Little Bess, Idas, Porirua, Grey Seaton, Northumberland, Gladisla, Mary Seaton, Silkw »m,Gladsome and Leo Delaval. During his first season Seaton Delaval’s progeny won in stakes £2,076, and it must be remembered that this sum was won by four representatives. During the 1899 1890 season the progeny of eaton Delaval have won the good sum of £4.151, placing him seventh on the list of winning siies in New Zealand, which, considering that only twelve of his stock were racing comprised of two and three-year-oids, and eleven of which won races is an exceptional performance, and goes to show that he nicks well with almost any mare, and is not confined to only one family. The progeny of Seiaton Delaval have won during the 1900-1901 season £5,206 10s, placing him at the top of the list of winning, sires for the Auckland District, while this season he occupies the leading position among the living sires of New Zealand. Will be limited to 20 mares, besides his owner’s. TERMS FOR APPROVED MABES: 30 Guineas for Single Mice. 25 Guineas Two or More, the property of the same owner. M ENSCHIKOFF.
