got in the Two Thousand when he was not fully 

 recovered from the effects of his illness, would, 

 no doubt, have a serious influence on his subse- 

 quent form. He was only a length behind the 

 winner, to whom Archimedes was second, beaten 

 a neck ; then came Liddington, a neck behind 

 Archimedes and a head in front of Zambesi, who 

 was a head in front of Breadalbane. This was 

 by no means a bad performance, and he picked 

 up some valuable stakes both in 1865 and 186G. 

 Perhaps his most notable victory was in a Free 

 Handicap, over the Rowley Mile, at the Second 

 October Meeting in 1865, when he beat Sydmon- 

 ton easily by four lengths, giving him lllbs., and 

 as Sydmonton had won most of his races in good 

 style, and had beaten Caller Ou in the Queen's 

 Plate at Lewes, he cannot be said, with justice, 

 to have been a bad horse. 



Broomielaw was also a very useful racehorse, 

 and was, perhaps, taken on the whole, the best 

 of the pair. He commenced by winning the Dee 

 Stakes, and won two or three more races as a 

 three-year-old, but could only get second to 

 Klarinska in the Great Yorkshire Stakes at York. 

 His best performance was in the Chesterfield 

 Cup at Goodwood, in 1866, where he beat a field 

 of good horses, amongst them Archimedes, who 

 had been second in the Two Thousand, and third 

 in the Leger, to whom he was giving 2lbs,, and 

 Salpinctes, the winner of the previous year's
