STALLIONS TO STAND THIS SE \SON, At the Windjwr Park Estate, irear Oamaro, THE PURE-BRED CLYDESDALE STALTION 3RI NC E VICTOR. PBIN'CF. VICTOR is a beautiful, thickset, stout-hearted, dark-brown stallion, rather under than over 16 hands 3 inches*, bred by John Henderson. Esq., Parkman'B, w&s got by Prince of Wales. The illustrious stud borsc of L. Drew, Esq., Merryton out of Rosie, a mare belonging to an exceedingly favorable strain of blood, and is one of the finest and most perfect mareß that ever looked through a bridle. Slie gained many first prizes, and at Maryhill, won second honors as a brood mare iu a competition that was <.p;n to all Scotland. Rosie was got In- the famous horse Victor, the winner of iirst prizes at Gatehouse of Fieet, Stranwaer, Kirk a bright;, and Wigtownshire, and in iSf! l , won second prize at the Highland Society's Show at Stirling, and was afterwards sold to go to Australia. The great breeding lines of Prince Victor are the line combinations of the Princo of Wales' blood crossed with that of Victor's, which trace back uninterruptedly to the Cfclomba Stock of 1535. Rosie' granddam was Jean, the dain of Disraeli, who, when a 2-year-nld, won first prizes at the Highland Society's Show, held at Glaseow in 1575 ; and as a 3-year-old, he won first prize at the Glasgow Stallion Spring Show of 1876. Prince Victor last year could boast of four winners at the different show*, local and district performances, such as these, also his pedigree—ancestry, finning with the names of the founders of what is known as the Victor breed, should not fa*l to attract attention to Prince Victor's claims as a sire. He is a horse of great substance and power, has many points of great excellence to recommend him as a breeder, qualities which arc inherent in the Clydesdale character of the modern school; also, has a large 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 is virtually extinct in Victoria since the death of Sir. Cos's "exceptionally horse, Prince c: Wales.'' Ihere is not too much of him, perhaps, but his make, shape, .ni.l blood are the surest teat of excellence. Hi- tine legs, strong and great bone, clvan, and Slowing with nice hair—the true badge >fi a v.vll-bred Clydesdale—and if his sire is a limlmark of the ancient state of things, Prinr:>: Victor is the epitome of the new. and one of the most compact and fashionable horses to be seen.
