SOMNUS, (TE ZAHUKANGI) FINDING there is a strong teeling to retain the services of SOMj^US in tins District, aud wishing to use him ourselves to a greater citent than before, the Proprietors have arranged to send the son of "The Pamter" to Hawkes Bay, where he will serve at a fee of Seven Guineas for Thoroughbreds, aud Five Guineas for Crossbreds. The Celebrated Thoroughbred Champion Prize winner, SOMNUS (sire of i Dudu, Foxton, Cyclone, Minnie, Waiter, and a host of other most promising youngsters, some of which will, no iloubt in the coming racing season afford additional proof of the value of this first class sire) will therefore stand at the Proprietors' stud stables, Feilding, this season, commencing Monday, the 2nd September. We have stuck to SOMNUS, because on his size, breeding, performances, and beautiful symmetry, we believed he was destined to become a Great Horse; and we have no doubt whatever now, that like his illustrious sire " Tradueer," and the great " Musket,'' Somnus inherits that great power possessed by so few sires, of transmitting his excellent qualities to his progeny, that we mean to stick t<> him still, notwithstanding the tempting overtures that have been made for him. noi in New Zealand (because he rt'as bred here), but from America, where his old stahle companion and near relation, " Sir MoJrod," has ntUiucd such a high reputation as a Sire, and from other parts of the world where the fame 'of Somnus has reached. We did intend to charge a fee of Ten Guineas all round this season, but from representations made by some of our friends that they were unable to pay so much for Hack mar s, we have decided to reduce the fee on the following scale viz : — Ist Class Thoroughbreds, Ten Guineas, Class C., Seven Guineis A limited number of good Hack mares Fire Pounds ten sliiilinf-s. Pfiddoekine; (if required) 2s yer week, Ch ice mares can be fed as per agreement Guarantees ns per agreement. Allowance made for two or more mares the prop rty ot one owner. •> ares left at the Proprietors' Horn? stead. Foxton, will be forwarded to Fei iding free of cost. To insure service, early application should be made. The padrtoeking accommodation is specially provided for breeding purposes l lie wet and dry mares being kept separate in well watered and sheltered pad docks. Own-'rs sending mares in t'oal e;ui rely upon the greatest possible care beinsi taken at foaling time and prouer time of service.
