SOMNUS, * " . (TE KAHURANGI) "CIINDING there is a strong feeling to "• -#- retain the services of SOMNUS in this. 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 fcv 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 <loubt in the coming racing season afford additional proof of the value "of tins first class sire) will therefore stand at the * Proprietors' stud stables, Feildmg, this 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 nn doubt whatever now, that, like his. illustrious, sire '"Traducer," and the great " Musket,'' "Somrius inherits . that great power possessed by so few sires, of transmitting his excellent qualities to his progeny, that we* meaai to stick to him still, notwithstanding- the temDling overtures that h-uve been made for him, not in New Zealand (because he was bred here), but from America, where his old stable companion and r near re-: lation, " 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, bufcfrom representations made by some of our friends that Jhey were unable to pay-' so much for Hack mares, we have de* cided to reduce the fee on the following' scale viz : - ' .Ist Clas* Thoroughbreds, Ten GuineasClass p., Seven Guineas. A_!imited number of good Hack mares Five Pounds ten shillings'. Paddoeking (if required) 2s jerweek, Ch- ice mares can be fed as per agreement Guarantees as per agreement.

To insure service, early application should be made. The paddocking accommodation is specially provided for breeding purposes the wet and dry mares being kept separate in well watered and sheltered paddocks.
