fame in the stud, and his sons and daughters have perpetu- 

 ated it. He was bred by Dr. Warfield. 



Medoc probably comes next on the list. Fleet of foot, 

 he won many great races and earned for his owners thou- 

 sands of dollars on the track. He was bred in New Jersey 

 by John and Robert Stephens, purchased by John Buford 

 and brought to Kentucky, where his fame did not languish. 

 Here he did yeoman service in the stud, and any owner of 

 to-day is happy to be able to show the Medoc strain in his 

 horses' breeding. His mares, like those of Lexington, 

 earned glory on the turf and in the stud. 



Glencoe was imported from England by Mr. Jackson, of 

 Tennessee, and Frank Harper, who was known as "Glencoe 

 Frank," to distinguish him from his cousin of the same name, 

 purchased him and took him to Kentucky. There was but 

 one horse in the world of his day that could beat him, and 

 that was Plenipotentiary, who took his measure in Old Eng- 

 land, before he came to this country. He ran no races in 

 this country, but was remarkably successful in the stud. His 

 mares proved a splendid cross for any and all of the stallions 

 of his time, and his name will live as long as there is an 

 American turf. 



Leamington was imported from England, and for a short 

 time remained on Staten Island, N. Y., then went to the 

 farm of Abe Buford, where he was at once put in the 

 stud. He got some of the greatest race horses of the world. 

 Out of eleven mares he produced nine horses that distin- 

 guished themselves as performers. When he was taken back 

 to Philadelphia he produced Parole, a horse good enough to 

 go to England and defeat every other animal with which he 

 came in contact. 



Hanover was bred by Clay & Woodford, near Lexington, 

 and until his death he was a great sire. His get are winning 

 many of the races of to-day, and nearly every one of his sons 

 and daughters are considered almost invincible. Some of 

 the great horses that are now traveling about through Eng- 

 land and America are his immediate descendants. His fillies 

 are not old enough to be breeding ; but they will be heard 

 from in the near future, and such shrewd owners and train- 

 ers as John E. Madden are securing all of this stock they are 

 able to obtain.
