STALLIONS TO STAND THIS SEASON, At the Windsor Park Estate, near Oamaru, THE PURE-BRED CLYDESDALE STALLION 3KI NC E VICTOR. PRINCE VICTOR is a leiutiful, thickset, stoat-hearted, d.rk-br»wn stallion, rather under than over HI ::aruln 3 inches, bred by John Henderson. I 0., Parkmams, was got by Piince <>f Waks. The illustrious stud horse of L. Drew, Esq., Merryton out of Roeie, 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 lirst prizes, and at Maryhill, won second honors as a brood marc in a competition that was open to all Scotland. Hosie was got by the famous horse Victor, the winner of first prizes at Gatehouseof Fleet, Stranwaer, Kirkubright, and Wigtownshire, and in 1-S6*, won spcond 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 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 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 show*, 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 br* ed, 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 arc inherent in the Clydesda.'e character of the modern school; also, lias 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 genua, and which is virtually extinct in Victoria 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 great bone, cl>>an, and fir,wing with nice hair—the true badge of a well-bred Clydesdale—and if his sire is a landmark of the such-fit state of things, Prince Victor is the epitome of the new. and one of the most compact and fashionable horsc3 to be seen.
