208 HUNTING ROUND M ALTON. 



gelding by Peppermint, which were off her, 

 and which are quite the right stamp. 



Half-a-dozen nicer youngsters than the two- 

 year-olds we saw it would be difficult to find 

 together. They are all by Peppermint, a horse 

 that has done good service in the country before 

 he was sold to Mr. Joicey. Those which took 

 our fancy most in the cursory inspection we were 

 able to make of them, were a bay filly out of Malice, 

 one of the Magic mares, a nicely moulded filly 

 with good loins, famous limbs, and a lot of quality ; 

 a bay colt out of Mischief, a well-bred and good 

 looking mare,'"' a well grown youngster with fine 

 shoulders, a strong back and good quarters, and 

 a famous mover ; and a brown filly out of Fairy, 

 with shoulders and back that leave nothinof to be 

 desired. A gelding by Peppermint out of Verbena, 

 is a big upstanding colt that is like growing into 

 something useful some day. 



The three-year-olds are also very promising. 

 Those by Peppermint out of Laburnum and Sun- 

 rise, Avho goes back to Doch au Dhurras, are two 

 powerful geldings ; and there is a filly by Happy 

 Land, rather on the little side, but neat and full 

 of quality, which took our eye. Then a strong 

 chesnut colt by Happy Land out of Mignonette 

 is a bad one to get over. He is symmetrically put 

 together, with good short back and beautiful limbs.

 Pompey, g.g. dam by Melbourne.
