strain of blood, but to perpetuate a style and de- 

 scription of animal whose form and fashion must be 

 seen to the duly appreciated. Then Vedette (sire 

 of Galopin and Speculum, sire of Sefton, winner of 

 the Derby), by Voltigeur, dam by Birdcatcher, out 

 of Dan Dayrell, by Inheritor out of Nell, by Black- 

 lock out of Madame Vestris, by Comus out of 

 Lisette, by Hambletonian, claims to be noticed, 

 not only on account of his pedigree, but from bis 

 appearance. This horse has had a chequered 

 career, and was bought at a low figure by Mr. 

 Tattersall, whose judgment was never better dis- 

 played than when securing such a specimen of a 

 thorough-bred horse for his stud — that is to say, if 

 my opinion is worth anything, after examining 

 thoroughly his shape and make, which, notwith- 

 standing his age, if I was a breeder, would not 

 be passed over very readily. 



Following these fine specimens of sires, I was 

 shown a remarkably good-looking horse, Clanronald, 

 by Blair Athol, the only horse save Kisber that ever 

 beat Springfield (in the Criterion). Clanronald, if I 

 remember rightly, is not the property of Mr. Tatter- 

 sall, but is for sale, and should not be overlooked by 

 any one desirous of having a handsome, well-shaped 

 sire, suitable especially for half-bred mares. Next 

 on the list was Cecrops, by Newcourt (by Sir Her- 

 cules), and then I saw some eighteen or twenty 

 mares of a high class, from which I select a speci- 

 men — Satin (foaled 1869), by Sydmonton out of Becky 

 Sharpe (sister to Buccaneer), by AVild Dayrel out of 

 Little Red Rover mare — Eclat, by Edmund; or, if 

 she is not to your taste, what say you to Bittern
