Somnus, (TE KAIjrjKANGI) T7IINDING there is a strong teeling to J- r etain the, sernces. of SOMNUS in this District, and wishing to u«e him • urselves to a greater extent than before, the Proprietors have arranged to«send the son of "The Painter" to Hawkes Ba>, where he will serve at a fee of Seven Guineas for Thorouirhbreds, and Five Guineas foi' Cros&lireds. The Celebrated Thoroughbred Champion Pnze winner, SOUND'S (siie of Dudu, Foxtod/Cjclone, 'Minnie, Waiter, and a host of other most promising youngsters,, some of which will; no .loubt in the coming racing season afford additional proof of the value r of this' first class sire) will therefore stand at the Piopftetors' stud stables, T?eildme, this season, commencing Monday,' the 2nd September We'ha\e stuck to SOMNUS, because on his size, breeding, performnnees, and beautiful symmetry, we believed he was destined to become a Great Horse ; and we have no doubt whatever non.'tliafc like his illustrious stre " Tradueer," and the great "Musket," Somnus inherits that great power possessed by "so few sires.^of transmitting his excellent qualities to his irngeni, that we mean to stick to him still,' notwithstanding the temoting overtures" that have been'made for him, not in New Zealand (because he was bied here), but from Anfenca, where his old- stable companion ~tm<\ near relation, " Sir MoJnd," has attained sucha high reputation as a Sire, and'fro'na other parts of the world where the fame of has rencWd.
