SOMNUS, (TE KAHUfiANGI) TTUNDING there is a strong feeling to J- retain the services of SOMNUS in this District, and wishing to u«=e him our.>elves 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 foe Crossbreds. The Celebrated. Thorough bred Champion Prize winner, SOMNUS (sire of Dudu, Foxton, Cyclone, Minnie, Waiter, and 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 this first class sire) will therefore stand at the Proprietors' stud stables, Feildmg, this season, commencing 'Monday, the 2nd September. We have stiick to SOMNUS, because on his size, breeding, performance-, and beautiful symmetry, we belies-ed he was destine.l to become a Great Horse; and we have no doubt whatever nowj that like his illustrious sire '• Tradueer," and the great "Musket," Somnus inherits that great power possessed by so few sir6s. s of transmitting his i-xf*ellent. qualities to his progeny, that we mean to stick to him still, notwithstanding the ' temoting 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 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 "Hack mares, we have de* cided to reduce the fee on the following scale viz : — Ist Class Thoroughbreds, Ten Guineas, ' Class C., . Seven Guinei s , A limited number of good Hack mares Five Pound* ten shillings. ' Paddocking (if required) 2s \er week. Ch ice mares can be fed as per agreement Guarantees as per agreement.
