SOMNUS, (T-K KAJJU-RAJN'GI) Ij BINDING there is a strong feeling to JO retain the services of SOMaNUS in tins District, and wisliinsj tou^ehim ourselves to n greater i-itent than before, „ the Proprietors huve arranged to send the son of " The Painter" to Hawkes Bay, where he will serve at a fee of Seven Guineas for Thoroughbreds, and Five Guineas fo.* Cross breds/ The Celebrated Thoroughbred Champion Prize winner, SOMNUS (sire of Dudu, Foston, Cyclone, .-.Minnie, Waiter, and a host of other most promising youngsters, some of which will, no iloubt in the cominn racing season afford ndditional proof of the value of this first cla>s sire) will therefore stand at the Proprietor*?' stud stables, Peildins, this season, commencing Monday, the 2nd September. We have stack to SOMNUS, because on his size, breeding, performances, nnd beautiful symmetry, we believed he was destined to become a Great Horse; and we have no doubt whatever now, that like his illustrious sire " Trnducer," and the great "Musket, 1 ' Somnus inherits that great power possessed by so few sires, of transmitting his excellent qualities to his progeny, that we mean to stick to him still, notwithstanding the tem.bting overtures that have been made for him; not in New Zealand (because he :was bred; here), but from^ America, where his old stable companion and near relation, " Sir MoJred," has* attained such a high reputation .as a Sire, and from other parts of the world where tijf fatue of .Somnus has. reached. We did intend to charge a fee of Ten Guineas, all round this season, but from repreHentatiotfs made by some of ?our friejdds that they were unable to pay to much for Hack man's, we have de* cided toreduce 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. Paddoeking (if required) 2s ier week. Ch- ice mares can be fed as per agreement Guarantees as j-er agreement. Allowance made for two or more mares the prop rty of one owner. Aiares left at .the Proprietors' Home stead. Poxton, will be forwarded to Feilding free of cost. To insure service, early application should be made. The padlocking accommodation is specially provided for breeding purposes the wet and dry mares being kept separate in well watered and sheltered pad docks. Owners sending mares in foa! can relj upon (lie greatest possible care being taken at foaling time and proper time of service.
