"By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operation ot digestion and nutrition, and by a careful application of the tine properties of well-selected cocoa, Mr Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a delicately flavored beverage which may save us many heavy doctors' bills. It is by the judicious use of such articles of diet tbal a constitution may be gradually built up until strong enough to resist every teudency to disease. Hundreds of subtle maladies are floating around us ready to attack wherever there is a weak point. We may escape many a fatal shaft by keeping ourselves well fortified wi v pure blood and a properly nourished frame." — Sue article in the Civil Service Gazette.

(TE KAHURANGI) FINDING there is a strong feeling to retain the services of Somnus in this District, and wishing to use bin ourselves to a greater extent than before, lhf»Pio. prietors have arranged to send the son of "The Painter" to Hawke's Bay, where he will serve at a fee of' Seven Guineas for Thoroughbreds, and Five Guineas for Crossbreds. The Celebrated Thoroughbred Champion P.izd winner, SOMNUS (sire of Dudu, F«'Xton, Cyclone, Minnie, Waiter and a | host of other most promising youngsters, some of which will, no doubt, in the com. ing racing season afford additional proof of the value of this first class sire) will therefore stand at tbe Proprietors' stud staples, Feildin?, this season, commencing Monday, the 2ud September. Wo have stuck to S miius, because on his size, breeding, performance^, and rieautiful symmetry, we believed he was destined to become a Great Horse-} and we have no doubt whatever now, that like hii illustrious sire *' Traduoer," and the great "Musket," Somnus inherits that great power possessed by co few Bires, of transmitting his excellent qualities to his progeny, that we mean to stick to him BtiU, notwithstanding the tempting overtures that have been made for him, not in New Zealand (because he was bred here), but from America, where bis old staMe companion and near relation, "Sir Modred,'' has attained, such a high reputation as d ' Sire, aud from other parts of tbe world where the fame of Somnus has reached. We did intend to charge a fee of Ten Guineas all round this season, but from representations made by some of our friends that they were unable to pay co muoh for Hack mares, we have decided to reduce the fee on the following' scale, viz. :— Ist Class Thoroughbreds, Ten Guineas. Class C, Seven Guineas. ■ A limited number of good Hack mares, > Five Pounds teu shillings. Paddooking (if required) 2* per week, Choice marcs can be fed as per agreement. Guarantees as per agreement. : Allowance made for two or more mares, the property of one owner,
