- STALLIONS TO STAND THIS SEASON, At the Windaor Park Ketite, near Oamarn, THE PURE-BR ED CLYDESDALE R I N C K VICTOR. PRINCE VICTOR is a fceautiful, thickset, 8 tout-hearted, dark-brown stallion, rather tinder than over 16 hands 3 inches, bred by John Henderson. Esq., Parkmanis, wan got by Prince of "Wales. The illustrious stud horse of L. Drew, Esq., Merryton ont of Rosie, a mare belonging to an exceedingly favorable strain of blood, and is one of the finest and most perfect mares that ever looked through a bridle., She gained many iirst prizes, and.at Mary kill, won second honors as a brood mare in a competition that was open to all Scotland. Kosie "was got by the famous horse Victor, the winner of first prize.* at Gatehouse of Fleet, Stranwaer, Kirkubright, and Wigtownshire, and in 186 won second prize at the Highland Society's Show at Stirling, and was afterwards sold to go fo Australia. The great breeding linns of Prince Victor are the fine combinations of the Prince of ■Wales* blood ; crossed with that Of Victor's, which trace baok uninterruptedly to the.Colomba Stock of 1835. Roaie' granddam was Jean, the dam of Disraeli,! who, when a 2-year-old, won first prizes at the Highland Society's Show, held at Glascov.' in 1875; 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 shows, local and district performances, such as these, also his pedigree—ancestry, shining with the names of the founders of what is known as the Victor breed, should not fail to attract attention to Prince Victor's claims as asire. ' He is a horse of great substance and power, has many points of great'excellence to recommend him as a breeder, qualities which are 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, anil which is virtually extinct in V ictoria since the death of Mr. Cox's "exceptionally grand horse. Prince of Wales." There is not too much of him, perhaps, but his make, shape, and blood are the 'surest test of excellence. Hi« fine legs, strong and g-eat lx>ne, cl*>an, and (lowing with nice hair—the true badge of a well-bred Clydesdale—and if his sire is a landmark of the anci nt state of things. Prince Victor is the epitome of the new. and one of the most compact and fashionable horses to be seen. Terms—Ten Guineas. Payable on the Ist February. Groom's Fee, ss.
