INTRODUCTION.
The author in writing this book and compiling the tabulated pedigrees of the sires to he found in it, has been induced to do so in the hope of their proving useful to those engaged in breeding for the turf, or who are seeking to foster this most popular national amusement. Very many of our largest breeders ignore the lessons taught in the " Stmt Book and Racing Calendar." I earnestly commend to all the necessity of observing what sources and what course of breeding have produced the best results in England, which may be most properly called the home of the thoroughbred horse. I have given my own views as to the best mode to successfully breed the race-horse, the best 'mode to select a stallion and brood mare, and the treatment of the same both in the stud and on the farm. I do not expect that all will agree with me, but the ideas expressed and plans suggested will do away with many of the chances incident to breeding. There is much uncertainty, and always will be, attending the best and most careful mode of breeding, and this opinion is strongly exemplified in the frequent occurrence of one horse being of very high form and an excellent race-horse, and a full brother or sister being only ordi- nary; yet I differ from a great many in the opinion that breeding depends entirely upon chance. Accidents and other unforeseen causes, some of them so unim- portant and abstruse as to escape our attention or come within our knowledge, may prevent the best bred and most promising animal from arriving at its natural size and true shape, and a little difference in conformation, symmetry and constitution may make a decided difference in goodness and speed. The foal may be weak and have a delicate constitution, owing to the dam being starved and exposed to hardships while carrying it, or it may have been im- properly reared. This proves that great care and knowledge are necessary in rearing horses for the turf, as well as judgment and attention in selecting mares and stallions from which to breed. The chief points are pure blood, confor- mation, constitution, racing lineage and hereditary soundness. The nearer we get to true shape with the other points combined, the more certainly we will arrive at excellence. We often find a large horse of good shape and racing symmetry ; but where there is one good large one there are a dozen small or medium sized ones. The greater the size, when combined with the good qual- ities, the greater the excellence and the powers, for a good little horse cannot cope with a great good one. Hence size with constitution, soundness and symmetry constitute the height of perfection. While I advocate and commend pure blood, I am convinced that very often pedigree is the only point at which some breeders look, ignoring altogether shape and action ; hence failures. The establishment of reputation by a stallion depends on his having good mares
INTRODUCTION.
at first, for if lie lias only bad and indifferent ones the produce "will be iu low form aud a disappointment, and tbe horse condemned as a failure. To prove this, it is only necessaiy to cite the Godolphin Arabian and Marske ; tbe former but for the accident of covering Roxana and getting Lath "would have died unknown, while Marske, who had been standing for half a guinea and was sold for tweuty guineas, after siring Eclipse was sold for one thousand guineas and covered at oue hundred guineas. Squirt, the sire of Marske, had been ordered sbot and was saved by the intercession of his groom ; he after- wards got Marske, Syphon and the celebrated Squirt mare, the dam of Maiden Purity, Pumpkin aud other famous horses. That many good race-horses have proved failures as stallions and many poor race-horses successful ones no one can doubt, as instance Lath, who was a famous race-horse but an indifferent stallion, whilst his full brother Cade was an indifferent race-horse but a most excellent stallion. Flying Childers dazzled the world by the splendor of his career on the turf, yet his brother, Bartlett's Childers, proved far the better stall- ion. According to my notions, no horse can be a good race-horse or a suc- cessful stallion that does not possess great symmetry, by which I do not mean beauty, but a show of all those points, such as conformation, length, power and muscle, justly united. Notwithstanding it is often asserted that horses run in all shapes, it cannot be denied that they run better and more frequently where they are well and truly shaped and of tried and approved conformation. A horse may appear to the eye of ordinary judges very plain and ill shaped, and still be in high form, and to the eye of a connoisseur right in all the material points for racing purposes. The machiuery properly put togetber is the point. Chances and accidents are closely allied to all pursuits, and more particularly to breeding for the turf, and luck very frequently predominates over skill and judgment; and whilst breeding cannot be made a certainty or reduced to a science, it should not be left to chance. It cannot be too minutely studied, investigated or attended to in all its branches, and the breeder who selects his mares and stallions with care, attention and judgment as to purity of pedi- gree, symmetry of form, temper, soundness and constitution, in fact, those pos- sessing all those essential qualities of speed and stoutness, must be more suc- cessful than one who breeds at haphazard and pays no regard to these estab- lished rules, at the same time crossing and preserving the blood of his mares judiciously, and aiming to remedy the defects, deficient properties and inferior qualities of his mares by the superior conformation, symmetry, admirable prop- erties and brilliant qualities of the stallion, or vice versa. Those who do this will be more likely to produce a more symmetrical, high-typed and suc- cessful race-horse than those who pay no attention to these points. Speculative experiments may suit those of large fortunes, but the thinking and judicious breeder, aware of the great expense, constant and unremitting attention neces- sary for success, will confine himself to the established practice of men wliose experience, judgment, attention and success in breeding are worthy of imita- tion. It is a matter of opinion whether tbe offspring partake most of the sire or dam. There is no doubt but that they partake of both, though very often more of the one than the other. Some of the mares breed more after them- selves, others more after the stallion, then again one foal will partake more after
INTKOMWTIoN.
the mare and the next partake most after ili<' horse. II also occasionallj happens thai l lie foal will color and mark after the grandsire or grandam or some, other more distant cross, ami partake of their qualities, hence the necessity of pun' blood, conformation ami soundness through many generations. To appreciate what care, attention ami sound judgment have done for the thoroughbred horse.it is only neces- sary for us to look at his origin; unquestionably the thoroughhred horse as he now exists in his great perfection originated from a cross of the, Arabian, Barb and Turk- ish horse, the representative scions being the Godolphin ami Darley Arabians; the, former, generally conceded to bo a " Barb," was the sire of Lath, (Jade, Regulus, Blank, Babraham, Bajazet, Old England, etc. It is said Mr. Coke brought him from Franco, and that he had actually drawn a cart in the streets of Paris. Mr. Coke gave him to Mr. Williams, keeper of the St. James Coffee House, by whom lie was pre- sented to Lord Godolphin, hence his name. He was teaser to Hobgoblin in the years 1730 and 1731, and, on the latter refusing to cover Roxana by the Bald Galloway, she was bred to the Arabian, and from that cover produced Lath, the first colt ever credited to him, which brought him into prominent notice. He was represented 15 hands high. The Darley Arabian was the property of Mr. Darley, of Buttercramb, near York. He Avas the sire of the great Flying Childers, supposed to be the fastest horse in the world, sire of Second, Snip, Blacklegs, etc., Bartlett's Childers and Almanzor. Bartlett's Childers never raced, but he was famous as a stallion. He was sire of Sqnirt (the sire of Marske and Syphon) and the Little Hartley mare, the dam of Janus, Blank, Old England, Slouch, etc. The Curwen Bay Barb was a present to Louis XIV. of France from the Emperor of Morocco, and was brought into England by Mr. Curwen. St. Victor Barb was the sire of the Bald Galloway, and he was the sire of Roxana that brought the Goldophin Arabian into notice. The Compton Barb was sire of Coquette and others. Hutton's Bay Barb was sire of Blacklegs. The Byerly Turk was Capt. Byerly's charger in Ireland during King William's wars in 1689. It is from this horse that the Herod blood originated. An examination of the Stud Book and Racing Calendar will show that nearly the entire family of great race-horses, both in England and America, dates back to the sources mentioned, and that it is extreme folly in our day to expect to improve the present magnificent race- horse by an infusion of the blood of the modern Arabian. We commenced upon the Arab, Barb and Turk with a height not exceeding 15 hands, and have, by judicious crossing, generous diet, discreet and careful handling, built up the most magnificent specimens of the equine race, ranging up to 17 hands in height, with bone, muscle, length, action and all the other grand qualities in proportion. In the early days of breeding, from necessity, very many of the best horses were very much inbred, and even incestuously so, and the question of inbreeding is one which commends itself strongly to mature consideration and examination. According to the maxim that "like produces like," we ought to follow form, blood, speed and other good qualities, and if these good qualities can be maintained and improved by inbreeding, then it must be desirable to a certain extent. Some of the best English and American horses were very much iubred, and the consanguinity of blood did not work deterioration. I am not an advocate of incestuous breeding, but there is no doubt that manly beauty, graceful form and intellectual vigor have resulted from preservation of these high qualities in the human race, where not carried too far ; and I can see no reason why the inbreeding of the truest, best bred and best shaped racers can work an injury
INTRODUCTION,
to the equine race. Still, I think, an out-cross of pure blood, with the essential qualities of a good race-horse, and then bach to the superior blood and conformation, is likely to produce the best results. I will give a few examples of inbred modern horses in England', and the same in America, and in doing so will select those of high char- acter which distinguished themselves on the turf and in the stud, for instance : The Baron, not only a good race-horse, but sire of Stockwell and Rataplan, was by Bird- catcher by Sir Hercules by Whalebone by Waxy by Pot-8-o-'s by Eclipse. The Baron's dam, Echidna by Economist by Whisker, own brother to Whalebone by Waxy by Pot-8-o-'s by Eclipse ; Echidna's dam, Miss Pratt by Blacklock by Whitelock by Ham- bletonian by King Fergus by Eclipse. Touchstone, a fine race-horse and one of the best stallions that ever lived, was by Camel, son of Whalebone by Waxy by Pot-8-o-'s by Eclipse; his dam, Banter by Master Henry, son of Orville by Beningbrough by King Fergus by Eclipse ; second dam, Boadicea by Alexander, son of Eclipse. The great Stockwell was much inbred on his dam's side, Pocahontas by Glencoe, dam Marpessa by Muley, son of Orville by Beningbrough by King Fergus by Eclipse. Muley's dam, Eleanor by Whiskey, son of Saltram by Eclipse. Pocahontas' grandam was Clare by Marmion, son of Whiskey by Saltram by Eclipse ; Clare's dam, Harpalice by Gohanna, son of Mercury by Eclipse. Queen Mary, the dam of Blink Bonny, Bonnie Scotland, etc., was much inbred. Gladiator, her sire, was by Partisan, son of Walton by Sir Peter by Highflyer by Herod; her dam by Plenipotentiary, son of Emilius by Orville by Beningbrough by King Fergus by Eclipse ; her grandam, Myrrha by Whalebone, son of Waxy by Pot-8 o-'s by Eclipse ; her great grandam, Gift by Y. Gohanna, son of Gohanna by Mercury by Eclipse, out of a daughter of Sir Peter, son of Highflyer by Herod. Partisan was out of Parasol by Pot-8-o-'s, son of Eclipse. Pocahontas' best son, Stockwell, was by an inbred horse, and Blink Bonny, Queen Mary's best daughter, was by Melbourne, a horse inbred to Herod and Eclipse. So, if the preservation of good blood through inbreeding in these striking cases has been a success, is it not reasonable to suppose that the same results must follow inbreed- ing to good blood and true shape with other desirable qualities in this country ? Boston was inbred to Diomed, as also his best son, Lexington. Wanderer and Uncas are both much inbred on the dam's side, being out of a grandaughter of Glencoe and tracing to an own sister of the old hero. Glenmore, one of the best race-horses recently on the turf, and whose performances are of the best at all distances, is very much inbred. His dam, Lotta, is by Hunter's Glencoe, son of imp. Glencoe and the Blue filly (Fiatt) by imp. Hedgeford, she out of Lady Thompkins by American Eclipse. Glenmore's grandam, Sally Lewis, is by imp. Glencoe; her dam, Motto by imp. Barefoot, out of Lady Thompkins by Am. Eclipse. Barefoot was by Tramp and Glen- coe's dam by Tramp, so that he is, strictly speaking, incestuously bred ; yet he was a first class race-horse. Norfolk, a superior race-horse,' is inbred to Sir Archy and Dio- med. Falsetto is inbred to Lexington, the dam of his sire is by Lexington, and his grandam by Lexington, and he has nine crosses of Diomed. Imp. Eclipse was much inbred ; his dam Gaze was by Bay Middleton, son of Sultan and Cobweb by Phantom, son of Walton ; Flycatcher, his grandam, was by Godolphin, son of Partisan by Walton, and his great grandam was an own sister to Cobweb by Phantom. Then if the Lex- ington, Leamington and Glencoe blood is to be preserved to the country, it can only be done by a judicious course of inbreeding, and so uniting the choice of both as to com- bine and render permanent the qualities possessed by each. Some regard inbvee;!-

ing as an active cause of degeneration, as unnatural and calculated to develop heredi- tary diseases. These evils can only spring from abuse of the system. I f proper ca re is taken to exclude the weals and those having hereditary tendencies to disease from participation in reprodud Lon, it may be the means of preserving those estimable qual- ities SO much desired in the equine race, and transmitting them unimpaired to succeed- ing generations. The greatest success has been achieved by breeding from the nearest. affinities of blood, and one should not hesitate to breed a half-brother or sister to- gether where they possess many points of superiority. In the selection of a stallion Ave want first pure blood, size, substance and conformation with symmetry, not a tall, narrow-chested horse,but one inclined to be thick-set; all coarseness should be avoided, especially in the head, neck, shoulders, ankles and hocks; the eye should be large, clear and bright, with no coarse hair about it, the absence of which is indicative of high breeding in all animals; the jawbones not too massive or heavy, tapering gradually to the nose, free from beefiness; good space between the jawbones for the windpipe; a clear, full, steady eye denotes good temper and enduring qualities, whilst the one showing too much white is generally found in flighty, speedy, non-staying horses. The neck of moderate length, deep and not too thick at the crest or curve; nostrils large, full and roomy. The chest moderately wide, the shoulder blade oblique and inclined backward, with sufficient muscle to cover it, with arms long and muscular, cannon bones short and flat, and the pasterns moderately long, not upright; knee broad and flat, and rather inclined to arch or bend over than backward or calf-kneed, which causes an extra tension on the back tendons ; chest deep, extending down be- tween the elbows, which should be straight, inclining neither in nor out, and toes pointed straight forward ; body and barrel round and not too long ; muscular arched loins, with good length from point of the hip to haunch bone, a slight drooping towards the root of the tail, good length from hip to point of stifle and thence to the hock, which should be broad, finely cut and free from beefiness; the cannon bones flat, tendons detached and well defined, feet strong and hoof not too large or too small: back ribs long, round, and slightly detached from the hip joint. There should be suffi- cient general length, not to be determined by the length of the back, but the ground the horse covers when standing in a natural position. Good blood is essential and necessary, but good form is superiority. In the selection of brood mares, form is as much a desideratum as in the stallion. First select from the most fashionable blood from running families on both sides with conformation, constitution, good temper and speed. Some prefer large mares, others of medium height. Large mares are not pre- ferable because they are large, but if well and truly shaped, from running blood, there is no objection to size. As a rule, the deep-chested, large-bodied, short-legged mares, with large pelvis, with wide hips and good length, from 15 to 15J hands high, have proved the best and most successful brood mares. The mare, above all things, should be good-tempered and free from all hereditary defects and disease. It does not follow that a mare which may be blemished from some unforeseen cause may not be as good a brood mare as one entirely sound. Mares in good health will breed until twenty-five or thirty years old, but they require attention, air and exercise, with proper shelter from storms and bad weather, writh sufficient food to keep them always in good, strong condition — not beefy fat, as nothing is more fatal to fruitfulness than obesity. Unless kept in good, strong condition, the foals are apt to be weak and weedy at birth. The time to make a race-horse is when the foal is in embyro ; in the
INTRODUCTION.
Irish vernacular, to make a race-horse you must do so before he is horn. Stallions, to do themselves justice, must have plenty of exercise iu the open air. If they cannot be trusted in an open paddock, they should be riddeu three or four hours each day. Idle- ness results in indigestion, loss of vigor and flatulence, which often prove fatal. The colts from the day they are foaled should be fed, if the dam does not afford sufficient milk to insure speedy and healthy growth, and broken at weaning time, which should be the last of September or first of October. It is a capital plan to feed the colts in pens for a month or six weeks before weaning them. I am decidedly of the opinion that foals which come the last of March or first of April have full as much advan- tage as those foaled earlier before the grasses, necessary to afford an ample supply of milk from the dam, arrive at perfection. Those who believe in having early foals should always sow down in the early fall a patch of good rye for the use of the mares and foals. Stallions, mares and colts all require plenty of fresh air and exercise ; air and light is life — darkness, death. Horses, and particularly colts, from their natural activity, require more exercise than any other animals, and when properly given it is productive of the most salutary effects. It is the more necessary to colts highly and grossly feed than to those stinted or fed moderately. It enables you to preserve them iu a perfect state of health. The food is converted into wholesome nourishment, the circulation of the blood promoted, and all the secretions and discharges facilitated. It invigorates the whole system, gives additional flow to the spirits, adds firmness and strength to the muscles, increases the firmness, texture and growth of the bone, pro- motes insensible perspiration, assists digestion, prevents flatulence and prepares the system for fresh supplies of aliment. It enables the animal to endure fatigue. In fact, without constant and habitual exercise no animal can enjoy perfect health. High feeding without proper exercise produces many evils, such as indigestion, flatulency, costiveness ; the circulation becomes languid, incurable diseases follow, and frequently death terminates the scene. The stallions and mares, treated as I have advised, whose blood is pure and uncontaminated, and whose conformation, strength, activity and vigor are conspicuous in every movement, must impart to their offspring not only sound constitutions, but speed, native fire and energy, which are necessary to support them under the severest exercise of their powers. "With their variety of soil, perennial grasses and favorable climate, the Americans should excel all nations in producing the most perfect and the grandest of the equine race. The greatest danger which threatens our ultimate success as the grandest breeding and racing nation of the earth is the constant influx of the rejected and trashy animals imported. What the breeders and racing men of England do not want cannot improve the blood horse of America, but, upon the contrary, work irreparable injury.
THE THOROUGHBRED HORSE;
HIS ORIGIN, HOW TO BREED HIM AND HOW TO
SELECT HIM.
The native country of the horse is not certainly known. According to ancient classic mythology, the beautiful and useful animal originated in the contention of two deities, emulous to confer on the human race the most valuable gift. Minerva, the Goddess of Wisdom, War and the Liberal Arts, created the olive tree, when Neptune, the God of the Sea, Rivers and Fountains, to outrival her, struck the earth with his trident and gave existence to the horse. His noble prowess, bold majestic front, speed of thought and graceful symmetry have been the admiration of men in every age and the theme of poets of all lands. Job, Homer, Virgil, Shakespeare and many others have paid willing tribute of their genius to the elegance of his form, the animation of his spirit and courage. A friend to man, an ornament to the earth, no other animal has contributed so much to the social advancement of the human race. .Speed, endurance, strength, elasticity, elegance and power, qualities so varied and valuable, are so thoroughly combined in this admirable animal as to proclaim him without a peer in the sphere of animated nature. In the Bible we are told that as early as 1650 years before the birth of Christ the horse had been domesticated by the Egyptians. When Joseph carried his father's remains from Egypt to Canaan, there went with him both chariots and horsemen. One hundred and fifty years afterwards the horse constituted the principal strength of the Egyptian army. Pharaoh pursued the Israelites with six hundred chariots, aud all the chosen horsemen of Egypt. Fifty years after the expulsion of the Israelites from Egypt, and 1450 years before the birth of Christ, the horse was so far naturalized and utilized in Greece that the Olympic Games were instituted, including chariot and horse races. This short digression from our subject is justified in order to show that horses were used in races long before the Christian era. According to Whyte in his history of the British turf, the earliest mention of race-horses, called running horses in those days, was in the ninth century, when Hugh, founder of the royal house of Capet in France, sent horses as a present to King Athelstane, whose sister, Ethelswitha, he was solicit- ing in marriage. In the reign of William the Conqueror, the Earl of Shrewsbury imported some stallions from Spain into his estate at Powisland; we find their produce celebrated by Drayton, the poet. This is the first well-authenticated step we can find towards the improvement of the breed of horses. These horses were more than probably of Eastern blood. In the reign of Richard I. matches were run for large sums, and swift-running horses were greatly esteemed and were sold for very high prices. There is no data in subsequent reigns, but we find Edward III., 1326, purchasing- running horses, and in the ninth year of his reign he received as a present two running horses from the king of Navarre, and they were supposed to be valuable as the king made large pecuniary compensation to the person who brought them. In the reign of Henry VII. the custom of gelding horses came into general practice. Henry VIII., 1509, took great paius to improve the breed of horses, especially in the Toyal stud ; Sir Thomas Chaloner, a writer in the commencement of the reign of Queen
THE THOROUGHBRED HORSE.
Elizabeth, mentions his having imported horses from Turkey, Naples and Spain. These horses unquestionably were largely bred from Moorish and Barbary blood. Her successor, James I., in 1602, placed the turf upon a solid basis and made it a per- manent institution. From the royal patronage accorded it, and rules framed for its regulation, horse racing had a gradual and uninterrupted progress until it reached its zenith. James I. by his public patrouage of the race course, and royal support, which was needed to bring it into good form and repute, should be canonized as the patron saint of the turf. But the improvement of the race-horse originated by him was of much and superior importance. The crossing of foreign blood with the English horse was not new at this period, but the eastern blood had never been tried. and to James I. is due the credit of first attempting that, which, although considered a failure, has resulted in the excellence of the race-horse of the present day. King James purchased of Mr. Markham an Arabian known as the Markham Arabian. This Arabian was a failure, and no horses of note or value descended from him. The king subsequently purchased the Turk known as Place's White Turk. Mr. Place was- . subsequently Stud-master to the Protector, Oliver Cromwell. Place's White Turk was the sire of Commoner and Wormwood, and the grandam of Cartouch, Grey Rainsden and Windham. The Brimmer mare, dam by Place's White Turk, grandam by Dodsworth out of the Layton Barb mare, produced Bay Layton by D'Arcy's Coun- sellor, Brown Farewell and her sister by Makeless. The Place White Turk mare, dam by Dodsworth out of the Layton Barb mare, was the dam of the noted Makeless, Mr. Croft's Brimmer mare, the rnare by Hautboy, dam of the Pet mare by Wastell"s Turk, Trumpet and Gray Layton, by Counsellor. Bay Layton above was the dam of Old Scar by Makeless, Chesnut Layton by Makeless and Scar by Croft's Bay Barb. Brown Farewell was the dam of Guy, Young Greyhound and sister to them by Greyhound, and Miss Partner by Croft's Partner. This sister to Guy was the dam of Bay Bloody Buttocks and Grey Bloody Buttocks (Dairy Maid) by Bloody But- tocks, Little Partner (Vane's), Young Partner, Red Rose and sister to them by Croft*s Partner. This sister to Vane's Little Partner was the dam of the Starling mare that produced Leedes by Second and his sister that was the dam of Amaranthus, Gift and the mare by Cub which was foaled in 1762 and imported into America by Gen. Delancy, of New York, prior to the American revolution. Miss Partner above was the dam of Whimsey and Madame by Bloody Buttocks, Toy by Bart- let's Childers, Drowsy by Fox Cub, Torismond by Old Starling, a filly by Round- head (dam of Juliet by Bustard in Ireland), Young Cade, Miss Cade, Villager and Milksop, all by Cade. A sister to Miss Partner by Croft's Partner was the dam of Sweepstakes and Clio by the Gower stallion, son of the Godolphin Arabian. Clio was the dam of Mr. Wilkinson's Conqueror in Ireland, foaled 1754 by Bajazet. Another sister to Miss Partner was the dam of Dormouse, by the Godolphiu Arabian, Mercury, Merryman, and Cadormus by Cade and Bolton, foaled 1752 by Shock, imported into America. Still another sister to Miss Partner was the dam of Miss Roundhead by Roundhead, Changeling and the noted Matchem by Cade, son of the Godolphin Arabian, Young Starling by Starling, etc. Matchem was the best race-horse of his day and famous as a stallion. He got in the twenty-three years he was in the stud 354 winners of $755,485.00. Bay Bloody Buttocks, mentioned above, was the dam of the famous Spinster, better known as Mr. Panton's Widdrington mare by Partner. Spinster was the dam of Spinster and Shepherd's Crab and Fancy by Crab, Mr. Panton's Deputy, afterwards Mr. Vane's Lofty, by Godolphin Arabiau, Golden Grove by Blank and others. Spinster by Crab was the dam of a filly by Janus, whose daughter by Skim, son of Traveler, was the dam of Mr. Vernon's Telemachus and Duke of Hamilton's Expectation, both by Herod ; Grey Starling by Bolton Starling and others. Fancy by Crab was the dam of Cloudy and Countess by Blank. Cloudy was the dam of Amaranda by Omnium, son of Snap, foaled iu 1771. Amaranda was the dam of Joe Andrews (first called Dennis O) by Eclipse, who was the sire of the two good horses Jack Andrews and Dick Andrews, dam by Highflyer. Golden Grove was the dam of Petworth (Gaudy) and an own sister by Herod. Petworth was the dam of Rosina by AVoodpecker, she, Rosina, was the dam of Hermes by Mercury, sou

of Eclipse. Expectation, sister to Telemachus, by Herod, was the dam <>r Orange Girl, Betsey and Anticipation, all by Beningbrough, son of King Fergus l>y Eclipse. Antici- pation was tlir dam of Maniac by Shuttle (the dam of Harriet by Stripling, Lunatic by Prime Minister, Bedlamite by Welbeck, Lunacy and Bee-iu-a-Bonnet by Blacklock, and Young Maniac by Tramp), Offa Dyke by Paynator, Handmaiden (the dam of Inheritor by Lottery and Executrix, by Liverpool) by Walton. A filly by Cervantes, son of 1 )on Quixote, by Eclipse, was the dam of Rebecca by Lottery. Rebecca was the dam of The Provost by The Saddler, Alice Hawthorn by Muley Moloch, Annan- dale by Touchstone, Fair Helen by Pantaloon, son of Castrel, that was the dam of Lord of the Isles by Touchstone.
Alice Hawthorn was the most famous race-mare of her day, winner of 16 cups, including- Doncaster and Goodwood cups, each twice ; 18 Queen's plates, and 17 other races, and was the dam of Oulston by Melbourne, a superior racer, Thormanby, winner of the Derby, 1830, by Melbourne or Windhound, Lady Hawthorn by Wind- hound ; Sweet Hawthorn by Sweetmeat, etc. Lady Hawthorn was the dam of Lady Alice Hawthorn by Newminster, she the dam of Hawthorn Bloom by Kettledrum, she the dam of imported Bread Fruit by Breadalbaue, Imported Albert by Albert Victor. Lady Alice Hawthorn was also dam of Hawthorndale by Kettledrum, she the dam of Hauteur, winner of the 1,000 Guineas, by Rosicrucian. Lady Hawthorn was the dam of Maybloom, by Newminster, she the dam of Corisande, winner of the Cesarewitch, and her sister, imported Lady Mentmore by King Tom. Lady Ment- more is the dam of Mentmore Lass, winner in England, Rica, a superior race-mare, and Mehallah by Kingfisher, son of Lexington. Another sister to Lady Mentmore and Corisande, Verdure is the dam of imported Judith and Clover by Macaroni, and a sister Vista, she the dam of Bonavista, winner of the 2,000 Guineas in 1892, by Bend'or. Sweet Hawthorn was the dam of Lady Nateby by Van Galen, she the dam of Lady Portland by The Primate, and she the dam of Miss Jumniy, winner of the 1,000 Guineas and Oaks, by Petrarch. To Anticipation in the female line trace Inheritor, Bedlamite, Common, winner of the 2,000 Guineas, Derby and St. Leger. Macgregor, winner of the 2,000 Guineas, Our Nell, winner of the Oaks, Man- ganese, winner of the 1,000 Guineas, Apology, winner of the 1,000 Guineas. Oaks and St. Leger, Mandrake, The Miner, Wenlock, winner of the St. Leger, Kisber, winner of the Grand Prize of Paris and Derby, imported Agenoria and her brother imported Pizarro, sire of Pessara, whose early death was a serious loss to America.
England is entitled to the credit of originating the thoroughbred horse. The breed has spread over the entire intelligent habitable globe wherever the value of beauty in form, utility, speed combined with strength, so indispensably necessary to labor, pastime, war and the turf is valued. To understand his origin we must begin with the sources from which he has descended and trace him from a combination of the Arab, Barb and Turkish horses. It is impossible for any man, a student of the stud book and conversant with the turf, to look at the present high-bred horse, and those of earlier days, without being surprised that the blood which was so highly and justly esteemed should now be unfashionable and little used, but the judicious crossing and intermingling of the blood of Herod, Matchem and Eclipse has built up such a grand and noble specimen of the equine race that the original blood cannot improve it. The three great sources of blood will readily be seen in the following tables :
The Byerly Turk was Captain Byerly's charger in Ireland, in King William's wars in 1689, and founded what is styled and known as the Herod Blood. The Byerly Turk got Jigg out of a Spanker mare. Spanker was by D'Arcy's Yellow Turk, who was the sire, also, of Brimmer. Jigg got Partner out of a sister to Mis- bury, by the Curwen Bay Barb, who was a present to Louis XIV. from Muley Ishmael, King of Morocco. The Curwen Bay Barb was brought into England by Mr. Curwen, who procured him, together with the Thoulouse Barb in France, through Couut Byram and Count Thoulouse, two natural sons of Louis XIV, the former Master of the Horse, and the latter an Admiral. They proved excellent stallions
THE THOROUGHBRED HORSE.
Partner got Tartar out of Meliora by Fox, she out of Milkmaid by Sir Wi Blacket's Snail. Fox was by Clumsy, son of Wilke's Old Hautboy by the White D'Arcy or Sedbury Turk, out of a Royal mare, brought into England by the Master of the Horse to King Charles II. Tartar got King Herod out of Cypron by Blaze, she out of Selima, a daughter of Bethell's Arabian. Blaze was by Flying Childers, son of the Darley Arabian, dam Betty Leedes by Careless, out of sister to Leedes by Leede's Arabian. Herod got Highflyer, dam Rachel, by Blank, sou of the Godolphin Arabian (Barb), out of a daughter of Regulus, son, also, of the Godolphin Arabian. Herod, also, got Fortitude, dam by Snap, son of Snip by Flying Childers, out of Milksop by Cade, son of the Godolphin Arabian. Herod also sired Woodpecker, dam Miss Ramsden by Old Cade, son of the Godolphin Arabian, out of a daughter of the Lonsdale Bay Arabian, etc. Woodpecker sired imp. Buzzard, out of Misfortune by Dux. Highflyer got Sir Peter Teazle, commonly called Sir Peter, dam Papillon by Snap, out of Miss Cleveland by Regulus. Among the famous sons of Sir Peter were Sir Solomon, dam Matron, by Florizel, by Herod, out of Maiden, by Matchem ; Hap- hazard, darn Miss Hervey by Eclipse, out of Clio by Young Cade; Stamford, dam Horatia by Eclipse, out of Countess, Delpini's dam by Blank ; Walton, dam Arethusa by Dnngannon (sou of Eclipse and Aspasia by Herod), her dam by Prophet, son of Regulus, out of Virago, Saltram's dam by Snap ; Williamson's Ditto, a full brother to Walton ; and Sir Oliver, dam Fanny by our imported Diomed, out of Ambrosia by Woodpecker, etc. This is the first class or Herod blood.
The Godolphin Arabian, generally believed to have been a Barb, was first the property of Mr. Coke, who presented him to Mr. Williams, the keeper of the St. James Coffee House, by whom he was presented to Lord Godolphin. The Godolphin Ara- bian was teazer to Hobgoblin in the years 1730 and 1731, and on the latter refusing to cover Roxana, she was put to the Godolphin Arabian, and from that cover she pro- duced Lath, a superior race-horse, aud in 1734 Cade, by the Godolphin Arabian, who took his name from the fact that Roxana died when he was ten days old, and he was brought up on cow's milk. "To Cade, to breed up in softness."
Roxana was by the Bald Galloway, son of the St. .Victor Barb, his dam Grey Whynot by Whynot, son of the Fenwick Barb, his grandam a Royal mare ; Roxaua's dam, sister to Chauuter by the Akaster Turk. Cade got Matchem, foaled 1748, dam sister to Miss Partner by Partner, son of Jigg by the Byerley Turk, out of Brown Farewell of Makeless, son of the Oglethorpe Arabian ; Matchem got Conductor, dam by Snap, grandam by the Cullen Arabian, out of Grisewood's Lady Thigh by Croft's Partner ; Conductor got Imperator, dam by Herod, grandam Carina by Marske (sire of Eclipse), son of Squirt by Bartlet's Childers; Conductor, also, got Trumpator, dam Brunette by Squirrel, son of Traveler, out of Dove by Matchless, son of the Godolphin Arabian.
Imperator got Pipator, out of Brunette, the dam of Trumpator, and Pipator got Remembrancer out of Queen Mab, sister to Mercury by Eclipse, out of a daughter of Tartar; Trumpator got Sorcerer, dam Young Giantess, by imported Diomed, out of Giantess, by Matchem. This is the second class, or Matchem blood.
The Darley Arabian was the property of Mr. Darley, of Buttercramb, near York. He was thought by some to be a Turk or Syrian horse, but was unquestionably an Arabian of pure blood. He got Bartlet's Childers own brother to Flying Childers, dam Betty Leedes by Careless, sou of Spanker, son of the D'Arcy Yellow Turk, out of Sister to Leedes by Leedes Arabian. Bartlet's Childers got Squirt, dam sister to Old Coun- try Wench, by Snake, son of the Lister Turk, out of Grey Wilks by Old Hautboy, son of the White D'Arcy or Sedbury Turk. Squirt got Marske out of the Ruby mare by Blacklegs, son of Hutton's Bay Barb, his grandam by Bay Bolton, son of Grey Haut- boy. Marske got Eclipse (O'Kelly's) dain Spiletta by Regulus, son of the Godolphin Arabian, grandam, Mother Western by Smith's son of Snake by Mr. Lister's Snake, out of daughter of the Akaster Turk. Eclipse took his name from the fact that he was foaled during the great eclipse, in 1764. Eclipse got King Fergus, dam Tuting's Polly by Black-and-all-Black (Othello), grandam Fanny by Tartar, Eclipse got Mercury, Volunteer and Queen Mab, dam by Tartar, out of a daughter of Mogul by the Go-
Til K THOROUGHBRED IIOKSIO
dolphin Arabian. Eclipse got Dini^umon, dam Asj>;isi:i by llcrod, grandam Doris by Blank, ou1 of Helen by Spectator, son of Crab, by Alcock Arabian. Eclipse got Meteor, dam daughter of Merlin, by Second, son of Flying Childers, grandam Motber Pratt, by Marksman, son of the Godolphin Arabian. Eclipse got imported Saltram, dam Virago by Snap, out of a daughter of Regulus. Eclipse go1 Pot-8-o's, dam Sports- mistress by Warren's Sportsman, son of Cade, grandam Golden Locks by Oroonoko, son of Crab, out of Valiant's dam, by Crab. Volunteer got Eagle and Spread Eagle, out of a daughter of Highflyer, grandam by Engineer, son of Blaze, out of a daughter of Regulus. Mercury got Gohanna and Precipitate, out of a daughter of Herod, gran- dam Maiden, sister to Pumpkin, by Matchem. King Fergus got Beningbrough, out of a daughter of Herod, grandam Pyrrha, by Matchem, out of Duchess, by White- nose, sou of the Godolphin Arabian. King Fergus got Hambletonian, dam by High- flyer, out of Monimia by Matchem. Saltram got Whiskey, out of Calash by Herod, grandam Teresa by Matchem. Pot-8-o's got Waxy and Worthy, out of Maria by Herod, grandam Lisette by Snap, out of Miss Windsor by the Godolphin Arabian. This constitutes the third class or Eclipse blood. To these three strains of blood trace all the horses of this day and all the best for the last century, and the horses now so successful on the turf in America and England combine these three strains of blood to a greater or less extent on both the paternal and maternal sides.
Taking a retrospect of the winners of the two great fixed events of the English turf (there being really no National fixed Event in America if we except the Futurity and the Realization stakes), the Derby and St. Leger, Ave find that in the tail male line The Derby, in the 113 years it has been run, has been won by the First line, Herod blood, thirty-five times, commencing with Diomed in the inaugura- tion Derby, 1780. Diomed was imported in 1798, being then 22 years old. He was sold for 50 guineas and subsequently sold to Col. Hoomes, of Virginia, by whom he was imported. He died in Virginia in 1808, being then 31 years old. There is scarcely a really good race-horse of the present day which does not partake of his blood. He was the sire of Sir Archy, out of imp. Castianira by Rockingham, justly styled the Godolphin Arabian of America. Diomed also sired Ball's Florizel, Duroc, the sire of American Eclipse, Potomac, Diomed Eagle, Stump the Dealer, Vingt'un, Hamlintonian Virginius, Peacemaker and a number of superior race-horses and brood mares, dams of winners. Other winners of the Derby imported were Saltram by Eclipse, sire of Whip, also imported, and the Saltram Mare, dam of Timoleou, the sire of Boston ; John Bull by Fortitude, son of Herod ; Spread Eagle by Volunteer, son of Eclipse ; Sir Harry, son of Sir Peter, by Herod ; Archduke by Sir Peter ; Priam by Emilius ; St. Giles by Tramp, by Dick Andrews ; Blue Gown by Beadsman died on the passage ; Kingcraft by King Tom died on the passage, and St. Blaise by Hermit. All these from Priam down trace on the tail male line to Eclipse, whose descendants in a direct male line won the Derby 72 times, including Iroquois. The descendant of Matchem only six times, and one, the horse Aimwell, who won it in 1785, from the Alcock Arabian through Mark Anthony by Spectator by Crab, his dam a sister to Postmaster by Herod. The other great fixed event, the St. Leger, was inaugurated in 1776, but did not receive its present name until 1778. It was won in 1776 by Allabaculia by Samp- son, son of Blaze by Flying Childers, by the Darley Arabian, Sampson's dam by Hip, son of the Curwen Bay Barb, this race has been run one hundred and sixteen years, from 1776 to 1891 inclusive, and has been won 72 times by the descendants of the Eclipse blood in the tail male line, 28 times by the Herod line and 16 times by the Matchems, but the winners were largely inbred to the three great strains of blood. The 2,000 Guineas, another of the important fixed events of the English Turf, was in- augurated in 1809, and has been run annually since that date. It is the important opening three year old event of the year. It is run over the Rowley Mile, one mile 11 yards. It has been won by the descendants of Eclipse, in the tail male line, 45 times, by the Herod line, 27 times and by the Matchem line, 12 times. These three events are open to both colts and fillies, but few of the latter are entered or start in them, hence the winners have generally been colts. The Two Thousand Guineas has been won but four times by fillies, in 1822 by Pastille by Rubens, son of Buzzard ; in 1810
THE THOROUGHBRED HORSE.
by Crucifix by Priam, son ofErnilius, in 1878 by Pilgrimage by The Earl or The Palmer, and in 1882 by Shotover by Hermit, son of Newminster. In 1868 Formosa by Buc- caneer ran a dead heat and divided the stakes with Moslem. The Derby has been won only three times by fillies, in 1801 by Eleanor by Whiskey, in 1857 by Blink Bonny by Melbourne, and in 1882 by Shotover by Hermit. The St. Leger, run in the fall, has been won more frequently by fillies, for the reason that good ones have oftener started for this event. Allabaculia by Sampson wOn it in 1776. Hollandaise by Matchem in 1778. Serina by Goldfmder in 1781. Iniperatrix by Alfred in 1782. Omphale by Highflyer in 1784. Cowslip by Highflyer in 1785. Young Flora by High- flyer in 1788. Pewett by Tandem in consequence of a foul on the part of Duke of Hamilton's Laurel colt, in 1789. Paulina by Sir Peter in 1807. Altisidora by Dick Andrews in 1813. Duchess by Cardinal York in 1816. Matilda by Comus in 1827. Queen of Trumps by Velocipede in 1835, She also won the Oaks. Blue Bonnet by Touchstone in 1842. Imperieuse by Orlando in 1857. Sunbeam by Chanticleer in 1858. Caller Ou by Stockwell in 1861. Achievement by Stock well in 1867. Formosa by Buccaneer in 1868, Formosa also ran a dead heat with Moslem for the 2,000 Guineas and won the Oaks the same year. Hannah by King Tom in 1871. Hannah also won the Oaks. Marie Stuart by Scottish Chief in 1873. Apology by Adventurer in 1874. Marie Stuart and Apology both won the Oaks. Jannette by Lord Clifden in 1878. Jannette also won the Oaks. Dutch Oven by Dutch Skater in 1882. Seabreeze by Isonomy in 1888. She also won the Oaks. Memoir by St. Simon in 1890. Memoir won the Oaks. The Oaks, the most important fixed event, for fillies only, was estab- lished in 1779, the year prior to The Derby. It has been run one hundred and fourteen times, including the year 1892, and has been won 64 times by the descendants of Eclipse in the tail male line, 37 times by the descendants of Herod and 13 times by the descendants of Matchem. The length of the Derby course in 1780 and up to 1784 was one mile. From 1784 up to and including 1871, the distance was one and a half miles. In 1872 and since the start has been from the New High Level Starting Post, the distance being one and a half miles and 29 yards. The Oaks is run over the Derby course. The St. Leger course was originally two miles. In 1813 the distance was changed to one mile 6 furlongs and 193 yards. In 1826 -the distance was reduced 61 yards and has remained since that date one mile 6 furlongs and 132 yards. It appears from the statistics above that the tail male line of the Eclipse blood has won a large majority of the fixed events above mentioned, but it must be borne in mind that Match- em was foaled in 1748, King Herod in 1758 and Eclipse in 1764, so that Eclipse had the benefit of the daughters of the two other strains of blood and nearly all of the best and most famous of his sons and grandsons were from Herod's daughters and grand- daughters, fortified by the Matchem blood. There Avere but few males from the Match- em blood compared Avith the number from the Herod line, and the same may be said of the number of the Herod's compared with the Eclipse's, and nearly all the descendants of Eclipse which have won the great events in the last quarter of a century, are de- scended from Whalebone through his sons Camel and Sir Hercules. To the former traces Touchstone, and to the latter Stockwell, both being inbred to Herod and Matchem on both the paternal and maternal sides, and the same is true of every grand race-horse that has appeared in any country on the globe.
It was in the reign of the unfortunate Charles I. that the introduction of Eastern blood of much importance took place, notably the Helmsley Turk, brought to Eng- land by the Duke of Buckingham, and sold to Mr. Helmsley, hence his name. The Helmsley Turk was the sire of Bustler, whose dam was not known ; Hutton's Royal eolt, dam a Sedbury Royal mare, and Vixen, out of Dodsworth's dam, a Royal mare. Vixen was the dam of the Old Child mare, by the Gresley Bay Arabian (Bay Roan). The Old Child mare was the dam of a filly, by the Darley Arabian, which produced a filly by Rattle, who Avas by a son of Sir J. Harpur's Barb, out of a Royal mare. This Rattle mare was the dam of Silvertail, by Heneage's Whitenose, son of the Hall Arabian; SilA'ertail Avas the dam of Whiinsey, by Cullen Arabian; Sportsman and Cade, imported into South Carolina in 1762 (both by Cade, son of the Godolphin Arabian); Careless and Fearnought by Regulus, son of the Godolphin Arabian.
THE THOROUGHBRED HORSE.
Feamoughl was imported into Virginia in 1764, by Col. John Baylor, and was noted as a sire in this country. Silvertail, also, produced Juan and a sister to her, both by Regulus ; Joan was the dam of Rautipole, by Blank, son of the Godolphin Arabian ; Columbine, by Eclipse, and others, but from her daughter, Rantipolo, she became ('anions. Rautipole was the dam of Nymph, Trusty and Nimble by Florizel. Nimble was the dam of Nike (winner of the Oaks in L797), by Alexander, son of Eclipse. Nutmeg by Sir Peter, son of Highflyer, and Donna Clara, by Cesario, by John Bull, son of Fortitude, by Herod ; Donna- Clara was the dam of a Idly by Dick Andrews, son of Joe Andrews, by Eclipse; Donna Maria, by Partisan, won of Walton, and others. Donna Maria's daughter, by Buzzard, son of Blacklock, produced imp. Barbarity, by Simoon, son of Camel, by Whalebone, thai gave to America the superior mares Ruthless, Relentless and Remorseless, with Young Eclipse, Barbarian and De\ astation, all by imp. Eclipse, son of Orlando, by Touchstone. Nike, through her daughter by Trafalgar, son of Sir Peter by Highflyer, gave us imp. Alarm by Thunderbolt, son of Sorcerer, by Trumpatof. Alarm was the dam of Zadora and Di Vernon, by American Eclipse ; Lady Alert (Alert), by Eclipse Lightfoot ; Clara Howard, Young Alarm and Fanny Elssler, by imp. Barefoot. Clara Howard was a superior race-mare, and the dam of Eliza Butler and Mary Elliott, by imp. Leviathan. Mary. Taylor, by imp. Sovereign; Angeline, Star-Spangled Banner, and Banner, by frnp. Albion. Angeline was the dam of Lantana, by Capt. Elgee, and Peytona Barry, by Rogers, son of Lexington. Lantana was the dam of Poca Wiley, by Muggins, Larkspar, by Jack Malone, Beersheba, Balance-All, Bran Dance (in England), all by imp. Bonnie Scotland ; the good race-mares Liahtunah and Panorama, by John Morgan, and Tantalus, by imp. Great Tom. The reputation of the Helmsley Turk was mainly established and immortalized as the sire of Bustler, whose dam is not stated ■in the stud book, or by other authorities, but was undoubtedly out of one of the Royal mares. He was the- sire of Lord D'Arcy's Blunderbuss, Old Merlin, the sire of Mr. Bethel's Woodcock and Castaway, and Mr. Richardson's Merlin. The Bolton Sweep- stakes' great grandam was out of daughter of Bustler. The pedigree of the Ruby mare, by Blacklegs, dam of Marske (sire of Eclipse aud imp. Shark), ends in a daughter of Bustler. The Bolton Sweepstakes was the sire of the dam of Whistle jacket, and the grandam of Mr. O'Kelly's famous Old Tartar mare. The Old Tartar mare was the dam of Mercury, Volunteer, Queen Mab, Venus, Jupiter, Adonis and Lily of the Valley, all by Mr. O'Kelly's noted Eclipse.

L, May 10th, 1842, Fashion winning in 7.32£, 7.45, the fastest race run to that day. Bos- ton was then nine years old and had been in the stud. He was wonderfully success- ful in the stud, a fact which tends much to weaken the opinion of Count Lehndorff, who says that no stallion, only two removes from a common ancestry, has ever been a success iu the stud. Boston got Red Eye, a first-class race-horse, dam Lucy Long by imp. Priam, and Lexington, the best race-horse at all distances ever bred in. America, and the Emperor of stallions. Lexington won all his races but one, and was beaten in that one by Lecompte, son of Boston, by the error of Lexington's jockey in pulling up at the end of the third mile in the first heat. The time was 7.26, 7.38|. Lexington subsequently won his match against Lecompte's time, 7.26, in 7.19f, and beat Le- compte in 7.23|, Lecompte being drawn after the first heat, two races unequaled by one and the same horse in the annals of the turf, Lexington's dam, Alice Carneal, was by imp. Sarpedon, son of Emilias, out of Rowena by Sumpter, son of Sir Archy.

The Large Hartley mare was the dam of imp. Selima by The Godolphin Arabian, and her brothers Babraham, Mogul and Marl- borough, sent to Ireland, also a roan filly by Hip. It is to this latter Hip mare that many of our best importations trace their origin, including imp.

The Oglethorpe Arabian was the property of Sir Thomas Oglethorpe of Scot- land. Little is known of his history. He was the sire of Makeless, whose dam was Trumpet's dam by Place's White Turk, second dam by Dodsworth, out of the Layton Barb Mare. Makeless was not only a distinguished race-horse in his day, but was greatly esteemed as a stallion, being the sire of Sir Ralph Milbank's famous Black mare, the dam of Hartley's Blind Horse by the Holderness Turk, and Gipsy by King William's Black No-tongued Barb. From the latter in direct female line descend Sir Archy (the Godolphin Arabian of America), Highland Mary, Hephestion, Castania, Virgo, Noli-me-Tangere, etc. Makeless was also the sire of Sir M. Pierson's Make- less mare, dam by Brimmer, gran dam by D'Arcy's Diamond (son of the Helmsley Turk), out of an own sister to Old Merlin by Bustler. This Makeless mare was the dam of Bay Bolton (Brown Lusty), and a sister to Bay Bolton by Grey Hautboy, Bay Lusty and Lamprie by the same stallion, and the Luggs mare by the Darley Arabian. It is from this sister to Bay Bolton that Dr. Syntax and Little Red Rover descend in direct female line. The Oglethorpe Arabian was also sire of Bold Framp- ton. The Blind Horse was bred by Leonard Hartley, Esq., near Richmond, York- shire. He was sire of Miss Neaskain and the Large Hartley mare, she the dam of Babra- ham, Mogul, Marlborough and Selima, all by the Godolphin Arabian. Selima was imported into the United States and founded a distinguished family of race-horses. Makeless was the sire of Old Scarborough mare, dam by Brimmer, and she was the dam of Scarborough Colt by Tifter, a filly by Belgrade Turk which was the dam of Miss Wyndham by Wyndham, and a filly by Bay Bolton that was the dam of Young Belgrade by Belgrade Turk.

The Darley Arabian was the property of Mr. Darley, of Buttercramb, near York, England, to whom he was presented by his brother, residing abroad. He was a Bedouin horse of the family7 called Keheilan-Ras-el-Fedawi, imported in the latter end of Queen Anne's reign, about 1702. He was the sire ofAlmanzor (his dam the dam of Terror by Akaster Turk, and Graham's Champion by Harpur's Arabian, Aleppo, Whitelegs and Smockface, full brothers to Almanzor), Brisk, out of Coneyskins' dam by Jigg, and Cupid, both good horses, Daedalus, a fleet horse, Skipjack, Manica, imp. Bulle Rock, Dart, Wkistlejacket, good plate horses, and Whimsey and Kitty Bur- dett, out of the Young Child mare, good plate mares and producers. The great reputation of the Darley Arabian comes from his son Flying Childers (commonly7 called Childers), .and his full brother, Bartlett's Childers, who was at first called Bleeding Childers, from his frequently bleeding from the nose. Flying Childers, foaled in 1715, was by the Darley Arabian, dam Betty Leedes by Old Careless, son of Spanker, and a Barb mare, second dam sister to Leedes by Leede's Arabian, third dam by Spanker, fourth dam Old Morocco mare (Old Peg, Spanker's own dam) by Morocco Barb, fifth dam, old Bald Peg by an Arabian out of a Barb mare. Childers started against the best horses of his time and was never beaten. In the year 1721 it is said that Childers ran a trial against Almanzor and Brown Betty7, carrying 123 lbs., over the Round Course at Newmarket, 3 miles, 6 furlongs and 93 yards, in 6 minutes and 40 seconds. It was also said that he moved 82-j- feet in a second of time, which is nearly at the rate of a mile in one minute. He ran over the Beacon Course, four miles, one furlong and 138 yards, in 7 minutes and 30 seconds. His stride covered 25 feet. These performances are not reliable, but he was unquestionably one of the fleetest horses that ever lived. He was not only a superior racer, but a wonderfully valuable stallion. He was the sire of Plaistow, Blacklegs, Second, Snip, Commoner, Blaze, Winall, Spanking Roger, Lord Manner's Poppet, Fleec'em, Steady, Young Miss Belvoir (the dam of Miss, Redcap and Duchess by Lath, and Foxhnnter by Blank). He also got two sisters to Young Miss Belvoir, one of which was the dam of Allworthy, Cypher and Py7tho by Crab, Feather by the Godolphin Arabian, Horatius and Horatia by Blank, and a filly by Panton's Arabian. The other sister was the dam of the Ancaster Blossom and Godolphin Blossom, both by Crab, the former the dam of Blossom, Jilt and Bragg by the Godolphin Arabian, Gaudy7, Gamesome, Grizzle and Chrysolite by Blank. Childers was also the sire of Bay Basto and Brown Basto, sisters to Snip. Bay Basto was the dam of Chance, Crazy and Gipsy by Lath, and Chaunter by Cade. Brown Basto was the dam of Hector, Cassandra and Lady by Blank. Sister to Blaze, she the dam ol "Whitenose by the Godolphin Arahian. Another daughter was the dam of Little Driver by Beaver's Driver.

A daughter of Snap out of Chalkstone's darn by Shepherd's Crab was the dam of imp. Gabriel by Dorimant. The blood can only be found in the female line, as there is no stallion in the male line from Snap. To Bartlett's Childers, own brother to Flying Childers, we look for the founder of the Darley Arabian line.
