SOMNUS,' (TE KAHUHANGI) TRENDING there is a strong feeling to _fi_ retain the services of SOMNUS in this Disi riot, and wishine; to u<*e him ourselves to a greater extent than before, the Proprietors have arranged to send the son of "The Painter" to Hawkes Buy, where he will serve at a fee of Seven-Guineas for Thoroughbreds, and Five Guineas fo.. Cross hreds. The Celebrated Thoroughbred Champion Prize winner, SO AINU'S (sire' of * Dudu,Foxton, Cyclone, Minnie, Waiter, and a host' of oilier most ' promising youngsters, some of which will, no doubt , in the coming racing season afford additional proof of the 'value of t)n_. first cla**s sue) will therefore stand at the Proprietors' stud stables, Feildmg,. I his season, commencing Monday, 'the 2nd September. '+ We have stuck to' SOMNU'S* because on his size, breeding," 'performances, and beautiful symmetry, we believed he was' destined to become a Great Horse ; and' we. have no dojubt whatever now, that like his illustrious sire " Tradueer," and the great " Musket," Somnus- inherits that great power possessed by so few sires, of transmitting his excellent qualities to his, progeny, that we mean to .stick to him still, notwithstanding - tlie tem-oting overtures that have been made for hini, not in New Ze.aland (because he was bred here), but from America, where his old stable compani'oh 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 alb round this season, but from representations made by 1 some of our friends tljat 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 p., Seven Guineas. A limited number of good Hack mares Five Pounds ten shillings". Paddocking (if .required) 2s _er_week. , Ch: lcemares can be fed as "per agreement *.
