STALLIONS TO STAND SEASON, At the Windsor Park i ->t -.t. near Oamaru, THE rURK-BKi*.:' C,.\ IESDALE i ■ PKIK i. f * !CT OR. PRINCE VICTOR is a beautiful, thickset. stout-hearted, dark-brown stallion, rather undnr than over 10 hands 3 inched, i.r. il by John Henderson. K.«q., ParkmaniH, was got hv I'rincc of Waks. '1 he illustrious Ktud h"rsc of L. Drew, Esq., Merryton out of Rosie, a mare belonging to an exceedingly tivorable strain of blooil, and ia one of the finest and most perfect mares that ever looked through a bridle. She gained many first prizes, and at Maryhill, won second honors as a brood, mare in a competition that was open to all Scotland. Uosie was got by the famous horse Victor, the winner of first prizes at Gatehouse of Fleet, Stranwaer, Kirkubright, and Wigtownshire, and in IS6', won second prize at the Highland Society's Show at Stirling, nnd was afterwards sold to go to Australia. The great breeding linea 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 Colombo Stock of 1835. Rosie' granddam was JeaD, the dam of Disraeli, who, when a 2-year-old, won first prices at the Highland Society's Show, held at Glasgow in 1875 ; and as a 3-year-old, he won first prize at tho Gksgow Stallion Spring Show of 1576. Prince Victor last year conld boast of four winners at the different shows, 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 Prijjco Victor's claims as a sire. Be is a horse of great substance and power, has many points x>f great excellence to recommend him as a breeder, qualities which arc inherent in tho Clydesdale character of the modern school; also, has a larg-; 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 ot Mr. C'or.'s "exceptionally grand horse, Prince of Wales." There is not too much of him, perhaps, but his make, shapa. and blood are the surest test of excellence. IJj-s fine legs, strong and great bone, clean, and (lowing with nice hair—the true badge of a well-bred Cfy4 e .3dale —and if his Bire is a landmark of the unci ufc state of thing*, Prince Victor is the epitome of the new. and one of the most compact and fashionable horses to be seen. Terms—Ten Guineas. Payable on the Ist February. Groom's Fee, ss. Pmliiocjfing free for one month, after which 2s fid per week will be charged. Kvery pare taken, but no responsibility. ' E.'
