SOMNUS, (TE KAHURANGI) TftINDING there is a strong feeling to _L retain the services of SOMNUS in this 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 .Bay, where he will serve at a fee of Seven Guineas for Thoroughbreds, and Five Guineas for Cross breds. The Celebrated' Thorough bred Cham.pion Prize winner, SOMNUS (sire of Dndn, Foxton. Cyclone. Minnie, Waiter, and a. host of of her most ' promising ' youngsters, some of which will, no doubt in the coming racing season afford additional proof of .the value' of ,this first class, sire) will, therefore stand at. the Proprietors' stud stables; Folding, thig 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 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 w.e "mean to stick to him still; notwithstanding the tempting overtures' that have be'eii made for hinij.not m JSew Zealand (because he was bred here), but from America,' where his old. .stable companion 1 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 . from , representations made by some of - our friends that they were "unable to pay so much for JHuck mares, we have-de-« cided, to reduce the fee on the following scale viz : — Ist Class Thoroughbreds, Ten Guineas. Class C., Seven Guineas, i A limited number of good Hack mares Five Pounds ten shillings. i- . , , Paddocking (if required)" 2s j.-er week. „ Ch; ice mares 'can be fed as per agreement 1 Guarantees as per.' agreement.
