fpO STAND THE SEASON. ACHILLES (IMP.) 13. (1899). ACHILLES, by Medallion—-Nereid, by Goldsborough, is a beautifully proportioned chestnut horse, standing slightly over sixteen hands. He won over £9OOO in stake money, and that without being “engaged” as a two or three-year-old, when ne was practically invincible. He proved himself a champion in each of the six seasons he raced, retains all his courage, and he has probably the cleanest set of legs in New Zealand to-day. He won three Jubliee Cups, two Electric Plates, two C.J.C. Challenges, two North Island Challenges, three Jackson Stakes, the Juvenile Plate, Middle Park Plate (an exceptionally brilliant performance—Machine Gun, 2yrs, had the maiden allowance, and carried 7.2, Achilles, 3yrs, with full Penalties, carried 9.10). Manawatu Stakes, Hawke’s Bay Stakes, A.R.C. Century Stakes, Wanganui Guineas, Wellington Stakes, Wellington Cup, etc. In fact, no horse in New Zealand performed like him. He has never been unduly taxed, and His constitution is unimpaired. He comes of Bruce Lowe’s No. 13 family, whence spring Highflyer, Albert Victor, George Frederick, Orlando, Beadsman, Mendicant, Shotover, etc., while the same family is represented in these colonies by those'successful sires Nordenfeldt, Goldsborough, Robinson Crusoe, Martini-Henry, etc. BEZONIAN (IMP.) 1.
