LEADING SIRES OF THE SEASON. NOTICE TO STVDMASTERS. We wish to direct the attention of the owners of stallions to the special opportunities offered through the columns of the “New. Zealand Sporting and Dramatic Review” for bringing under the notice of breeders throughout the Dominion the leading sires that are available during the present season. The “Review” each week reaches racing and trotting men in every corner of New Zealand, and no better medium for advertising the different stallions that will be at the service of breeders during the next few months could be obtained than this widely-read paper. Announcements of stallions taking up stud duties will be inserted at a reasonable charge, and a special feature made of reproducing photographs of each sire, together with an article dealing with This pedigree, performances and other qualities. Any further particulars required may be obtained from the offices of the “N.Z. Sporting and Dramatic Review,” Box 52, Auckland. TO STAND AT ELLERSLIE, AUCKLAND.
