STALLIONS TO STAND THIS SEASON, At the Windsor Park Estate, near Oamaru, THE PUKE-BRED CLYDESDALE STALLION RINCE VICTOR. PRINCE VICTOR i* a 1 dutiful, thickset, stout-hearted, d rk-bi iwn stallion, rather under than over I•> K.iuds 3 inches, bred by John Hend'T»i>n. I q., Parkmanis, was got by Pnucv cf \»a 1 ■_s. The illustrious stud horse 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 moat perfect mares that ever looked through a bridle. She gained many first prizes, and at Maryhill, won second honors as a brood marc in a competition that was open to all Scotland. Kosie was got bv the famous horse Victor, the winner of first priza3 at Gatehouse of Fleet, Stranwaer, Kirkubright, and Wigtownshire, and in ISO t, won second prize at the Highland Society's Show at Stirling, «nd was afterwards sold to go to Australia. j-reat 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 q{ TS3S. Rosie granddam was Jean, the dam of jDiHrneli, who, when a 2-year-old, won first prizes at the Highland Society'a Show, held at Glasgow in 1S7?; and aa a 3-year-old, ho 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 distriot performances, such as these, also his pedigree—ancestry, ihtnin{£ with the names of the founders of what is known as the Victor should not fail to attract attention to Prince Victor's claims as a sire. Be 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 f-hare 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 A 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. His fine legs, strong and great bone, clean, and (lowing with nice hair—the true badge of a well-bred Clydesdale—and if his sire is a landmark of the ancient state of things, Prince Victor is the epitome of the new. and one of the mo3t compact and fashionable horses to be seen.
