PRINCE VICTOR is a beautiful, thickset, stout-hearted, dark-brown stallion, rather under than over 1G bands 3 inchef, br*d by John Henderson, Esq., Parkmanie, was got by Prince of Wales. The illustrious stud horse of L. Drew, Esq., Merryton out of Ros-ie, a mare belonging to an exceedingly favorable strain of blood, and is one of the finest and most perfect marcs tbat ever looked through a bridle. She gained many first prizes, and at Maryhill, won second honors as a brood mare in a competition that was open to all Scotland. Roaie was got by the famous horse Victor, the winner of first prizes at Gatehouse of Fleet, Strauwaer, Eirkubright, and Wigtownshire, and in IS6*, won second prize at the Highland Society's Show at Stirling, md was afterwards sold to go to_ Australia. The great breeding lines of Prince Victor are the fine combinations of the Prince of Wales* blood crossed with that of Victor's, which trace back uninterruptedly to the Colomba Stock of 1535. Rosie' granddam was Jean, the dam of Distaeli, who, when a 2-year-old, won first prizes at the Highland Society's Show, held at Glasgtfw in 1575 ; and as a 3-year-old, he won first prize at the Glaagow Stallion Spring Show of 1576. Prince Victor last year con Id boast of four winners at the different shows, locnl and district performances, such a3 these, also his pedigree—ancestry, shining with the names of the founders of what is known as the Victor bri-edj should not fal to attract attention to Prince Victor's claims as aaire. lie ia a horse of great substance and power, ha 3 many points of great excellence to recomni'.nd him as a breeder, qualities which arc inherent in the Clydesdale character of the modern school; also, has a largj share of his sire's good qualities, the full and perfect image of that which may be regarded as a specimen of the genus, and which i 3 virtually extinct in Victoria since the death of Mr. Cox's "exceptionally grand horse, I'rince of Wales." There is not too much of him, perhaps, but his make, shape, end blood are the surest test of excellence. Hi* fine strong and great bono, cl'sn, and flowing with nice hair—the true badge of a wcil-brcd Clydesdale—aod if bis sire is a landmark of the anci- nt state of thing.*, Prince Victor is the epitome of the new. and one of the most compact and fashionable horses to lie seen.
