both unite the choicest strains of Major 

 Upton's importations, with the earHer 

 of the Blunts, and are believed to be the

 Fedawi family. 



In 1906 three more mares came from 

 Crabbett Park, (i) Rumeliya, 4 years, a 

 daughter of Rose of Sharon, her sire Rejeb, 

 son of Rosemary and Mesaoud — in foal by 

 Astraled, son of Queen of Sheba (Betey- 

 an's mare) ; (2) Rosetta, 4 years — a daugh- 

 ter of Rosemary and Mesaoud — also in 

 foal by Astraled ; and (3) Antika, 4 years 

 — daughter of Asfura, and grand- daugh- 

 ter of Queen of Sheba — in foal by Harb, 

 son of Bint Helwa (the broken-legged 

 mare) and Mesaoud. These three, com- 

 bining the choicest strains of blood that 

 ever left Arabia, and joining the same 

 stud where are owned the Rose of Sharon 

 and two of ^Raschida's daughters, must 

 prove a valuable addition to the Arabs 

 in America.
