two miles and uiu'-sixtcH-iitli. won with a marvt'llons l)urst ot" speed in the hist half-mile,

 seventy vears ago presided over the destinies of this country, with the province-bred

 of Canada. It is a tril)ute to the breeding success of the President of the O.J.C. that 

 thi> gr.Miil horse should be a native in his jjedigree for several generations back. In 

 1!)(»S, Mr. Seagram imported the three-year-old Bouquet, by Kinley Mack — Briar Sweet, 

 who landed two important races at the O.J.C. Fall Meeting, one of which was 

 the Toronto Autumn ("up, for which no fewer than a dozen horses started, and in the 

 race for which Mr Seagram's representative ran away in comfortable fashion. 



'I'he owner of the Waterloo stable has neither confined his victories to tlu- Wood- 

 bine nor to Canada, Itut has won many a good race with Joe Miller, a province-bred; 

 \ ictorious, another province-bred; the aforementioned Saragossa, imp. ]Mor|)heus, 

 Havoc, a son of Ilimyar, sire of the immortal Domino, imp Objection and others, 

 at the best meetings in the liiited States. To enumerate all tlu' successes that ^Ir. 

 Seairram has had, both at iionie and abroad, and to m) becomiiioly into details of the 

 horses he has bred that have accomplished deeds worthy of note, would be to fill this 

 entire volume.
