STALLIONS TO "STAND TFT S SEASON,' At the Windsor Park V»t -te, near Oamaru, THE PUKE-iWKP » /YDE3DALE ' ' ST.-. I P'-S pRIK C>; VICTOR. PRINCE VICTOR is a teiutiful, thickset, stout-hearted, dark-brown stallion, rather tinder than-over 16 hands 3 bred by John Henderson. Esq., Park man'B, was got by Prince of Wales. 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 most perfect mares that ever looked through a bridle. ?he gained many first prizes, and at Maryhill, won second honors as a brood mar.: in a competition that was open to all Scotland. Rosie was got by the famous horse Victor, the winner of first prizes at Gatehouse of tfleet, Stranwaer, Kkkubright, arid , Wigtownshire, and in 186*, 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 are the fine combinations of the Prince of Wales' blood crossed with that of Victor's, which trace back uninterruptedly to the Colomba Stock of 1835. 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 IS7S ; and as a 3-year-o!d, he won first prize at the Glasgow Stallion Spring Show of 1876. Prince Victor last year conld boast of four winners at the different shows, local and district performance, such as these, also his pedigree—ancestry, thining with the naire3 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 largs 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 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, clean, and flowing with nice hair—the true badgf! of a well-bred Clydesdale—and if his sire is a landmark of the anci nt state of thing-i, Prince Victor is the epitome of the new. and one of the mo3t compact and fashionable horses to be seen. Terms—Ten Cuineas. Paj-ablc on the Ist February. Groom's Fee, ss. Paddocking free for one month, after which 2s 6d per week will be charged. Kvery care taken, but no responsibility. E.
