! .SOMNUS, ." 1 (TE KAHURANGI) . FINDING there is a strong feeling to retain the services of SOMNUS in tliis 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 foi- Crossbreds. The Celebrated Thoroughbred 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 1 at the Proprietors' stud stables, Feilding, tliis 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 we mean to stick to him still, notwithstanding the templing overtures that have been made for him, not in New Zealand (becuuse he was bred here), but from America, where his old 1 stable companion and near re--, lation, "Sir MoJred," ha,s 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 undble 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 Guinens. A limited number of good Hack mare* Five" Pounds ten shillings'. Paddocking (if required) 2s per week. Choice; mares can be fed as per agreement as per agreement. Allowance made for two or more mares the" prop rty of one owner". V. ares left, at the Proprietors' Homestead, Foxton; will be forwarded to Felid- " ing free of cost. / " To insure serriee, early application should be made. The pnddocking accommodation is specially provided'for breeding purposes ihe wet and dry mares being kept separate in, well watered and sheltered paddocks. Owners sending mares m foal 'can rely upon the greatest possible care being taken atx foaling time and proper time of service.
