SOMNtJS, (Tfi KAHURANGI) FINDING there is a strong feeling to retain the services of SOMNUS in tuis District, and wishing to use Him ourselves to a greater extent than before, the Proprietors have arranged to send the. son- of "The Painter", to Hawkes Bayi iwhere he will serve at a fee of Seven Guineas, for Thoroughbreds, and Five Guineas for Crossbreds. The Celebrated Thoroughbred Cham« pion Prizej winner, SOMNUS Jsire of Dudu, Foxton, Cyclone, Minnie, Waiter, and a host of other most promising youngsters, some of which will, no doubt in.Jhe coming racing season afford additional proof of the value of this first class sire) will therefore stand .at .the Proprietors' stud stables, • Feildmg, 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 hisiillustrious sire '.' Traducer," 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 to him . still, notwithstanding t the temuting overtures that have been made for bim, not iv 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 the fame ;of Somnus has reached. We did intend to , charge a fee of Ten Guineas, all round this season, but frbm representations made by some of - "our friends that they were unable to pay ' so much for Hack mares, we have de* cided to reduce the fee on the -following scale viz : — ' L Ist Class Thoroughbreds, Ten Guineas. Class p., Se»en Guineas. A limited number.of good Hack mares Five Pounds ten shillings. Paddocking (if required) 2s per week. Chrice mart& can be fed as per agreement 1 ' Guarantees as per agreement.
