THE AKAP> 



The Aral) is famous l)()th in itself and as the chief source from which 

 the English thoroughbred was derived through the " liyerley Turk" and 

 the "Darley Arabian."" All the fineness and all the quality of modern 

 horses are deri^'ed from this ancestral Arab sti'ain, although the thor- 

 oughbred was largely modified oi'iginally by crossing of other stocks.
