STALLIONS TO STAND TBIS .SEASON, At the Windsor Park near Oamaru, THE PURE-BIiEP CLYDESDALE STAI.!I<- V )EI KC E VICTOR. PRINCE VICTOR i 3 a beautiful, thickset, stout-hearted, dark-brown stallion, rather under than over 16 hands 3 inches, bred by John Henderson. Esq., Parkmanis, was got by Prince of Wales. The illustrious stud horse of L. Drew, t3i|., Merryton out of Rosie, a mare belonging to an exceedingly ftvorable strain of blood, and is one of the finest and most perfect mares that ever looked tbroDgh a bridle, 'she gained many first prizen, and at Maryhill, Avon second honors as a brood roar'* in a competition that was open to all Scotland, kosie Teas got by the famous horse Victor, the winner of first prizes at Gatehouse of Fleet, Stranwaer, Kirknbright, and Wigtownshire, and in IS6*, won second prizs 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 fine combinations of the Prince of Wales' blood crossed with that of Victor's, which tTace back uninterruptedly to the Colomba Stock of 1535. Rosie' granddam was Jean, the dam of Disraeli, who, when a 2-year-old, won first prizes at the Highland Society's Show, held at Glasgow 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 shows, local ami 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 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 are inherent in the Clydesdale character of the modern school; also, has a large tharc 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 Mr. Cox's "exceptionally grand horse, i'rince of Wales." There is not too much of him, perhaps, but his make, shape, and blood are tho surest test of excellence. Hi.i fine legs, strong and great bone, clean, and flowing with nice hair—the true badge of a well-bred Clydesdale—and if his sire is a landmark of the anci lit state of things, Prince Victor is the epitome of the new. and one of the most compact and fashionable horse 3 to be seen. Terms—Ten Guineas. Payable on the Ist February. Groom's Fee, ss. Paddocking free for one month, after which 2s (id per week will be charged, livery care taken, but no responsibility. E.
