SOMNUS, (TE KAHURANGI) TjIINDING there is a strong feeling to J- retain the services of SOMNUS m this District, and wishing to use him ivurselves to a greater extent than before, the Proprietors have arranged to send the son of "The Painter" to Hawkes Bay, where he will serve at a fee of Seven Guineas for Thoroughbreds, and iive Guineas fbi* Crossbreds. The Celebrated Thoroughbred Champion Prize winner, SOMNUS (sire of a ' V >xton « Cyclone, Minnie, Waiter, and a host of other most promising youngsters, some of which will, no Tlc-übt ' !i° . the I com,n £. racing season afford additional proof of the value "of this first class sire) will therefore stand at the Proprietors' stud stables, Feilding, 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 J whatever now, thaV like his illustrious 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 the temoting overtures that have beeu. "made forhim, not i n New Zealand. (because he was bred here),but~fro'm America, where his old stable companion "and near relation, " Sir Molred/'has' attained such a,, high reputation as a Sire, and from , °[ | p parts of the wor,d 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 onr friends that they were unable to" pay so much for Hack mares, we ha^e . de« cided to reduce the fee on the following scale viz : — Ist Clas.s Thoroughbreds, Ten Guineas. Class p., Seven Guineas' A, limited number of good Hack mares Five Pounds ten shillings. ' " Paddocking (if required) 2s ter.week. Ch. ice mares can be fed as per agreement Guarantees as per agreement. - Allowance made for two or more mares the prop rty ol one owner. •* * Tires left, at-: the .Proprietors* Homestead, Foxton, will be forwarded to Feilding free of 1 cost. To insure service, early ' application should^be.made. The ; paddocking accommodation is «peeially provided for breeding purposes the wet and dry mares being kept separate m -well watered ,and, sheltered paddocks. Owners sending, mares in foal can rely, upon the- greatest, possible care being taken at foaling time and proper lime of service. <
