(133,424) ; and Naemoor Eliza 4th, a dark roan, bred 

 by Mr Moubray, was by Garbity Field Marshal 

 (142,541), one of whose sons sold for 1350 gs. at 

 Perth last spring. The Eliza is a granddaughter 

 of Waresley Eliza 2nd, the dam of Mr Moubray's

 Star of Morning (58,189). Her heifer calf is by 

 Mr C. H. Jolliffe's Prince Imperial (127,411). At
