CLYDESDALE HORSES.
In offering the following Brood Mares
and Young Stock, Mr. Drew begs to state
that many of them have stood First in the
show-ring in England and Scotland, as well
as at the Paris Exhibition ; and from the
fact that he intends to devote his attention
less to exhibiting than heretofore, purchasers
may rest assured that the Stock submitted
comprises the choicest animals of his stud,
valuable for breeding purposes, and likely to
take the highest position in the most impor-
tant Agricultural Exhibitions of the country.
Mr. Drew has been much gratified to
learn that out of the 48 animals disposed of
at his last year's sale, 35 have since taken
Prizes.

several First Prizes last year, and Second
at this year's Stallion Show in Glasgow, in
a class of about 100 of perhaps the finest
animals ever seen. As will be observed from

Colt ever offered for competition at Merryton.
Gained First Prize last year at Hamilton,
and high anticipations may be entertained
of his future career.

34 'CHARMER,' Four Years.
This Gelding stood First at the Highland
Society's Show in Dumfries last year, and
exhibits so many points of excellence, that
an opportunity is here presented to exhibi-
tors of this class of Stock of acquiring an
animal well qualified to render the name of
his owner famous in connection with
exhibitions of the Agricultural Horse, of
which he may be pronounced the beaic ideal;
and nothing would please the disposer more
than to see him at the Kilburn Show.

The Yearling Colts and Fillies have been bred
with the ut7nost care, and are decidedly stiperior to
any Young Stock yet offered for Sale at Merryton.
No doubt each animal has some distinguishing
characteristic to recommend it ; but all exhibit so
many points of excellence in common, that it must
be left very mtich to purchasers to decide on their
relative degrees of merit.
