. (TE- KAHUEANGI) FINDING there is a strong teeling to retain the services of SOMNUS in this District, and wishing to u^e him ourselves 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 Five Guineas _foi* Cross breds. The Celebrated Thorough bred Cham'. punT Prize, winner,. SOMNUS (sire of Dudu, Poxton, Cy clone, Minnie, ' Waiter ,' and t a host of other most" promising youngsters, some of which will, no doubt' in the coming racing season afford additional proof of the value of -tins first class, sire) will therefore stand at the Proprietors' stud stables, Peildme, 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 doubl 5 whatever' now, that like his illustrious sire" " Traducer," and the great "Musket," Somnus .inherits i that jjreat power, possessed 'by so few I sires, of transmitting his escetlent qualities to his progeny; that- we mean' to H stick ,to him- still; notwithstanding the tempting overtures that have been made >- for him, not in New Zealand (because he was bred here), but from America 1 , where his old stable companion and near relation, " Sir 'Moired,"has' attained such a high . reputation as a-Sn-e. and from other.parts of the world where the fame of. Sopmus. has. reached. We did intend to -charge a" fee of ,Ten Guineas all round- this season, but from i 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 : — Ist Class Thoroughbreds/TenGuineas. Class C, Seven Guineas A limited number of good Hack mares Five. Pounds ten shillings. , Paddoeking (if required) 2s per week. Ch< ice mares can.be fed as per agreement Guarantees as per 'agreement.
