SOMNUS, ; (TE KAHUEANGI) ! T7IINDING there is a strong feeling to X? retain the services of SOMNUS ■in this District, and wishing to use him . ourselves to a greater extent than before, j the Proprietors- -have -arranged to send j the son. of "The Painter" to Hawkes (Bay, where he will serve at a fee of \ Seven Guineas for Thoroughbreds, and Five; Guineas' fov'Crossbreds. The Celebrated Thoroughbred Champion Prize winner, SQMNTTS; (sire of Dudu, Fbxtbri, Cyclone,. Minnie, Waiter, and 1 a host of other most promising youngsters, some of which will, no doubt in the'comirig season afford additional proo.f .of .the .value of tins first class sire) will 'therefore stand, at the Piroprietdrs 1 stud stable's, Feilding, this season, commencing Monday, the 2nd September. i iWe 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 i like his illustrious sire " Traducer," and the y great "Musket," Somnus inherits that great power possessed by so few sires, of transmitting bis excellent qualities to his progeny, tnat we Bean to stick tr> him still, notwithstanding the tempting overtures that; have been made for him; not in New Zealand (because he was , bred ; here),, bu t from ■ America, wh ere ■ his old. stable-ccompanion ! and near relation, " Sir Molred," has attained 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 ' marcs, we have de« cided to reduce the fee on the following scale viz : — Ist Class Thoroughbreds, Ten Guineas, Class C., Seven Guineas. A limited number of good Hack mares Five Pounds ten shillings. Paddocking (if required) 2s per week. Choice mares can be fed as per. agreement Guarantees as per agreement. Allowance made for two or more mares the prop rty of one owner. Mares left at the Proprietors' Homestead, Foxton, will be forwarded to Feilding free of cost. To insure service, early application should be made. The paddocking accommodation is specially provided for breeding purposes the wet and dry mares being kept separate in well watered and sheltered paddocks. Owners sending mares in foal can rely upon the greatest possible care being taken at foaling time and proper time of service.
