SERES OF THE SEASON.

MONOFORM. When looking around for a suitable sire for their mares breeders should consider Mr. E. W. Alison’s fine chestnut Monoform, by Hotchkiss —Formo, by Sterlingworth—Pulchra. Hotchkiss is a son of the great Musket, out of Petroleuse. From this it will be seen that Monoform is a very highly bred sire and the fact of him being a full brother to Multiform, Uniform, Forma, Forme and Formula should cause breeders to consider him. Multiform, a great racehorse, afterwards proved himself one of the most successful sires in New Zealand, his progeny including Noctuiform, Sungod, Boniform, Isolt, Cuneform, Golden Lily, Multifid, Golden Slipper, Porcelain and Polymorphous, all high-class performers. Monoform is a horse of great quality, with immense bone and substance and has exceptional constitution. When but five years old Monoform was mated with a few mares, and six foals resulted. One died, another broke its leg, and the remaining one Apellon proved a good performer and won the Great Northern Champagne Stakes. The fee for Monoform’s services is a very modest one and he should certainly be largely patronised by breeders. MARBLE ARCHBreeders will not have to wait long to have the chance of mating their mares with Mr. Walters’-recent purchase, Marble Arch, as an advertisement in another column announces that the son of Isinglass—Mall is to stand the season at Glenora Park- By Isinglass, one of the most famous descendants of the stouthearted Isonomy, from Mall, a daughter of the Two Thousand Guineas and Derby winner Ladas, Marble Arch can lay claim to a highclass pedigree, no less than six Derby winners, five Two Thousand Guin" eas winners, and eight St. Leger winners being found therein- It is interesting to note that Marble Arch gets a strain of St. Simon through his dam Mall, who is out of Serpentine, a daughter of St- Serf, a son of the celebrated Galopin horse. Marble Arch is a rich bay horse, standing 15.3, and said to strongly resemble his sire, Isinglass, who contested 12 races and won 11 of tlmm, his winnings in stake money amounting to no less than £57,185. Further information will be found in the advertisement or upon application to Mr. Walters. GLUTEN. Mr. W. Wattes, Papakura, has an advertisement in this issue notifying that Gluten will be at the services of breeders this season. Gluten is a dark chestnut by Thurio —Bran- Bread by Sea Saw, is a majestic animal possessing plenty of bone and substance. On the turf he was a high class performer, and proved himself a great stayer, winning amongst other races the Birmingham Autumn Handicap, Gatwick Oval Handicap (2 miles), Goodwood Stakes (2% miles) and in India the Bangalore Cup (1 3 4 miles) with 9-4 in the saddle- Glueoose, Filament, and Glue all successful performers racing in Australia claim Gluten as their parent, while his rising stock in Auckland show great promise. His fee is a small one, and he should command considerable patronage from breeders Full particulars can be had from Mr- Walters. MERRY PRINCE. Merry Prince, a four-year-old son of Merry Bov —Queenie, by Muskapeer, out of Norah, and owned by Mr-

W. Walters, .will be at the services of breeders of hacks and harness horses this season. Merry Prince is a fine stamp of a horse and after the established success of Merry Boy, the sire of Merry Prince, the latter’s services should be availed of by breeders.
