her half-sister Maccaronea, are great favourites 

 with Mr. I 'Anson, who looks on them as very 

 likely youngsters indeed. 



There is a big forward colt by Beauclerc out of 

 Caper Sauce who should give a good account of 

 himself early on. He is big, certainly, but has 

 not that loaded overgrown appearance that spoils 

 the look of so many big yearlings in September. 

 He had a very narrow escape of being useless as 

 a racehorse, as he was foaled on January 3rd, 

 and so nearly missed his year. 



But the yearling we liked best of all is the bay 

 colt by Beauclerc out of Dresden China. A 

 gentleman every inch of him, as might be ex- 

 pected from his pedigree, no one can fail to be 

 struck with his good looks ; he is full of quality, 

 is a big well developed colt with a lot of power, 

 and big knees and hocks, the latter of which he 

 uses admirably. He has also a remarkably placid 

 temper, and we do not doubt, had he appeared in 

 the sale ring at Doncaster, that he would have 

 brought a sensational price. 



A stroll through the paddocks at the Blink 

 Bonny Stud Farm, and an inspection of the 

 brood mares, and the foals, which had just been 

 taken from their dams, finished a very pleasant 

 day. The foals, of course, did not look at their 

 best ; that could not be expected, but they are a 

 promising lot, and there are some amongst them 

 like being worthy successors of the yearlings
