STALLIONS TO STAND THIS SEASON, At tbo "Windsor Park Estate, near Oamaru, THE PURE-BRED CLYDESDALE STALLION R I N C E VICTOR. PRINCE VICTOR is a 1 eautiful, thick■et, stout-hearted, »Urk-->rown stallion, rather under than over 1'! hands 3 inches, bird by John Her.d- r«> •• ' *<)., Parkmanis, was got by I'nn'.e oi '-Viilcs. /The illustrious etud horse of Drew, Esq., Merryton out of Rosie, t mare belonging to an exceedingly fiforf.ble strain 6f blood, and is one of the finest and most perfect mares that ever Ir.okud through a bridle. She gained. many tirst prizes, and, at Mary hill, won sreond honor* as a brood marr- in a competition that was open to all Scotland. I'osie was got In* the famous horse Victor, the winner of iir3t prizes at Gatehouse of Fleet, Stranwaer, Kiiknbright, and Wigtownshire, and in IS6*. won second prize at the Highland Society's Show at Stirling, ,;nd was afterwards sold to go to Australia. The great breeding 1:n../ or Prince Victor are fine combinations of the Prince of V."airs' blood crossed with thai of Victor's, which trace back uninterruptedly to the Colomba Stock of 1535. Jiosiu' granddam •jvas Jean, the dam of Dis-aeli, who, when a 2-year-old, won firat prizes at the Highland Society's Show, held at Glasgow in £»75 ; and as a 3-year?old, he won fifst prize at the Glasgow Stallion Spring Show of 1870. Prince Victor last year could boast of four winners at the different shows, local and district performances, such as the3e, 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. power, has many points of great excellence to recommen4 him as a breeder, qualities which aro inherent ip the Clydesdale character of the modern school; ajso, Jjaa 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 genus, and wnich is virtually extinct in Victoria since the death of Mr. Cox's "exceptionally grand lioree. Prince of '■Vales." Thpre is not too much of him, perhaps, but his make, shape, and blood arc the surest test of excellence. His fine legs, strong and great bone, cl>»an, and flowing with nice hair—the true badge of a well-bred Clydesdale—and if Lis sire is a landmark of the anci- nt state of things, I'rinte Victor is the epitome pf the new. and one of the most compact; and fashionable horses to be seen.
