TO STAND THIS SEASON AT ELLERSLIE, PATUTAHI. r T HE Thoroughbred fi. 1 ■ j.'d v' 4 J* EBI're—“DERRINGER," By Musket out of'Rosali. Derringer is a handsome dark brown horse, six years old, standing 15.3, and possessing remarkable symmetry, and has proved himself one of the very best of Musket’s sons, as his record on the turf clearly shows. As a two year old he won the Nursery Handicap in 1 m. 18Sec. beating Rosebud and Foul Shot. His other performances at that age are remarkable, as his colors were only lowered by such flyers as Welcome Jack, Thunderbolt, and Alpine Rose. At three years, he won the Stud Company’s Sire Produce Stakes with Bst. lOlbs., doing the one and a half miles in 2.40}. His other performances are especially notable, as at Dunedin, Necklace (his stable companion just managed to beat him twice; Waitiri at Hawke’s Bay and Auckland scored hard vvon victories, and in every other race Derringer was equally prominent. At two, three, and four years Derringer started twenty five times, being placed sixteen times, winning twice, being second nine times, and third five times.

A glance at the extended pedigree appended will show that the strains of blood to be met with in Derringer are not to be surpassed, the names of such mighty wonders as West Australian, Mallendon, The Premier, Pantaloon, Sir Hercules, Irish' Birdcatcher and others being prominent. g Longbow Ethuriel 3 Miss Bowe i o ■ o t j j .

Brunette’s granddam, Birthday, is also granddam of the celebrated horses, Stockham and Panic, the corner stones of the Australian Stud Book, they being the sires of the most celebrated horses bred in Australia, including Commotion, Wellington, Pell Mell, and several others. Brunette, Dan’s dam, was imported by Messrs Harris and Innis, along with Mermaid and Traducer, which has been proved to be the best blood that was ever imported to the colony. Brunette has been admitted by competent judges to be one of the best brood mares ever imported south of the Line. Dan has proved himself a most brilliant race-horse, which his performances will show.
