SGMNUS, (TE KAHITRANGI) , "CIINDING there is a strong teeling f 0 J- retain the services of SOMNUS in tins 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 Havrkes Bay, where he will serve at a fee- of Seven Guineas for' Thoroughbreds, and Five Guineas fo t - Cross breds. ' The Celebrated Thoroughbred Champion Prize winner, SOMNUS (sire of Dudu, Foxton; Cyclone, Minnie, Waiteri and a host of other most promising youngsters, some of which will, no doubt' m ,lhe coming racing season afford additional proof of the value of this first clat.s 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 sjmmetrv, we believed he was .destined to become a Great Horse ; and we have no doubt whatever now, that like bis illustrious sire " Traducer," and the great "Musket," Somnus inherits that great power possessed by so fewsires, of transmitting his excellent qualities to his progeny, that we ;mean to stick to him f stilL, notwithstanding the tempting overtures that have been made for him, not in New Zealand (because he was bred here), bnt from America, where ms old -stable companion and near relation, " Sir MoJred," has attained such a high reputation as a > Sire, and from " other parls of the world where the fame of Somnus has reached. We did intend to charge -a .fee ofTen Guineas all round this season, but from representations made by some of our friends that ( hey were unable to pay A° muoh for Hack mares, we have decided to reduce the fee on the following scale viz :— Ist Class Thoroughbreds, Ten Guineas. Class p., Seven Guineas. A limited number of good Hack mares Dive Pounds, ten shillings. .- Paddocking (if required) 2s jerweek. Ch< ice mares can be fed as per agreement Guarantees as per agreement. Allowance made for two or more mares the prop rly of one owner. ' wares left at the Proprietors' Homestead, Foxton, will be forwarded to Feilding; free of cost..
