92 ASHGILL. 



she possesses that blood in its best strain. 

 She is by Petrarch out of Frivohty, a daughter 

 of Macaroni and Miss Agnes, and the winner of 

 the Middle Park Plate and other big races as a 

 two-year-old. She is a good-looking chesnut 

 mare, rather shorter than many of the Agnes 

 family we have seen, but with rare quality, and 

 although she was no good on the turf herself, she 

 bids fair to breed some that will keep up the 

 reputation of the family for racing, her yearling 

 colt by Tertius looking all over a galloper. 



Muddle and Chaos, mother and daughter, are 

 the representatives of Mandragora. 



Muddle is a dark brown, and is a short-legged, 

 compact, and somewhat powerful mare. Her 

 daughter. Chaos, by The Palmer, never ran, but 

 her son Quartus bids fair to keep up the reputa- 

 tion of the family for pace. 



Her yearling filly by Zealot is full of nice 

 racing quality, with good hocks and thighs, and 

 though rather on the small side looks like being 

 smart. 



With Evening Chimes, by The Palmer out of 

 Timbrel, Mr. Osborne won a few nice little races, 

 and although no large prizes fell to her lot, she 

 was a consistent performer in her class. As the 

 dam of Matin Bell she has stamped her position 

 as a brood mare, and as she is only in her prime 

 she has plenty of time to breed some good 

 winners yet.
