 In that year he was so fortunate as to secure 

 at 120 guineas from Sittyton the now famous 

 Mimulus, by Champion of England, then in her

 Prince Imperial; the roan three-year-old Queen 

 of Beauty, by Senator, and the red bull Stanley

 Violet by Lord Stanley. Queen of Beauty cost 

 at Sittyton 110 guineas. She became the gran-
