STALLIONS TO STAND THIS SEASON, At the Windsor Park ne*r Oamaru, THE PUKE-BKED CLYDESDALE STALLION" 3RINCE VICTOR. PRINCE VICTOR is a teiutiful, thickset, stout-hearted, dark-brown stalliOD, rather under than over 16 hands 3 inches, bred by John Henderson, Esq., Parkmanis, was got by Prince of Wales. The illustrioua stud horse of L Drew, Esq., Merryton out of Rosie, a mare belonging to an exceedingly favorable strain of blood, ana i* one of the finest and most perfect marcs that ever looked through a bridle. She gained many first prizes, and at Maryhi]!, won second honors as a brood mare in a competition that was open to all Scotland. Rosie was got by the famous horse Victor, the winner of first prizes at Gatehouse Kleet, Stranwaer, Kirkubright, and Wigtownshire, and in 186 i, won second prize at the Highland Society's Show at Stirling, and was afterwards sold to go to Australia. The great breeding lines of Prince Victor arc the fine combinations of the Prince 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-ycar-old, won first prizes at the Highland Society's Show, held at Glasgow in 1875 ; and as a 3-year-old, ho won first prize at the Glasgow Stallion Spring Show of 1876. Prince Victor last year con Id boast of four winners at the different showt, 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 a sire. He is a horse of great substance and rower, 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 largj share 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 iu \ ictoria since the death of Mr. Cox's "exceptionally grand horse, f'rinco cf Wales," There is not too much of him, perhaps, but his make. 3hape. and blood are the surest test of excellence. Hi > fine -Jigs, strong and great bone, cl?an, and llowfrg with nice hair—the true badge of a well-:>red Clydesdals—and if his siro is » landmark of the anci-nt state of things, Prince Victor is the epitome of the new. and one of the most compact anil fashionable horses to be seen. Terms—Ten Guineas. Payable on the Ht February. Groom's Fee, ss. Paddocking free for one month, after which 2s 6d per week will be charged. Jiver* care taken, bnt no responsibility.
