SOMNUS, (TE KaHCTRANGI) TENDING there is a strong feeling t& . JL retain the serFices of SOMNTJB 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. Ha wkes v Bay, where he will serve at a fee of Seven Guineas for Thoroughbreds, and Five Guineas foi'Crossbreds. The Celebrated Thoroughbred Champion Prize winner, SOMNUS (sire of Dudu, <Foxton, Cyclone, Minnie, Waiter, and a host of other roost promising' youngsters, some of which 'will, 1 no Houbt in the. coming racing season afford additional: proof of the value of this first ' class sire) will therefore stand .at theiProprietors' stud stables, Feilding, this season, ' commencing Monday, the 2nd ; . September. . ; . We have stuck to SO MNIJS, becauseon his size, breeding, performances, anicl ' beautiful symmetry, we believed he was destined to become ; a Great Horse ; and we have_ uo 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 quali- '. ties' to his progeny, that we mean, to .. stick to him 0 still; notwithstanding the temDtingoTertiires that have been made for jhiiu, nor in 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 V other parts of the world where thefame of Somnus has reached. We did intend to charge' a fee ! of Ten Guineas all : round "this season, but from representations by some of our friends that ihejrtfere* nnable to ; pay '' so much for Hack mares, we hare de«: cided to reduce the fee on the following scale viz :— : ■■•■ , .... Ist Class Thoroughbreds, Ten Guineas Class C., Seven Guineas. _ A limited number of good Hack mares ' Fivd Pounds ten shillings. . •/ Paddoeking (if required) 2s Ver wee'lc.
