y4[ I1 * fly . » - SOMNUS, (TE KAHILRArJGI) FINDING there is a strong feeling to retain the services of SOMJSfUS in this District, and wishing to use him ■urselves to a greater extent than before, the Proprietors -have arranged to send the son of " The .Painter" to ffawkes J3ay, where he w{ill serve at a fee of Seven Guineas for Thoroughbreds, and \Juve Guineas foi 1 Crossbreds. The Celebrated Thorough hred Champion Prize winner, SOMNUS (sire of Dudu, Poxton, Cyclone, Minnie, Waiter, and a host of other most * promising youngsters, some of which will, no doubt in the coming racing season N afford additional proof of the value of tins first cla & s sire) will therefore stand' at the Proprietors' stud stables, Peildmg, this season, commencing Monday, the 2nd September. We have stuck to SOMNUS, because on his size, breeding, performances, and beauLEul symmetry, we believed he was destine.! to become a Great Horse ; and we have no doubl whatever now, that like his illustrious sire '• Traducer," and the great "Musket,- Somnus inherits that great power possessed by so fewsires, of transmittinghis i>xfellent quali- ' ties to "his progeny, that we mean to stick to him still; Notwithstanding the iemating overtures that have been made for him, not m New Zealand (because he was bred here); but from America, where his old stable companion and near re- - latson, " Sir Moired," lms attained such a hi»h reputation a« a Sire, and from , other parts of the world where the fame of Somnus has reached. We did miehd 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 jo much for Hack man-s, we have de» , cided to reduce the fee on the following scale viz :— ■ Ist Class Thoroughbreds, Ten Guineas. - Class p., Seven Guineas A limited number of good Hack mare's Five Pounds ten shillings.
