Marcia), out of Faith, by Pacolet, herself a grey, 

 and out of the nine foals she bred five were greys. 

 Pacolet was a grey by Blank out of Whiteneck 

 by Crab, the latter a grey also by Alcock's 

 Arabian out of Sister to Soreheels. He was 

 foaled in 1722, so for one hundred years the an- 

 cestors of Young Camilkis in direct Hne had been 

 greys. Still, notwithstanding this fact, the pre- 

 ponderance of greys amongst the half-bred 

 horses is very remarkable. The probability is 

 that Smiler's ancestors, on both sire's and dam's 

 sides had been bay clear of white for as long or a 

 longer period, although w^e have no proof that 

 such is the case. At any rate we know that only 

 one grey horse has ever been used, and we leave 

 the subject as a neat little puzzle for physiologists 

 and students of heredity.
