BLYTHEWOOD, by Adventurer, son of Newminster, bred by Mr. "W. I'Anson, foaled 

 1873 ; dam Bonny Bell by Voltigeur ; the dam of Bonny Swell, Blantyre, Muscatel, 

 Beauclerc, etc., out -of Queen Mary; the dam of Blink Bonny, Balrownie, Bonnie 

 Scotland, etc., by Gladiator. Blythewood started in only one race ; the Colt Sapling 

 Stakes for two-year olds, five furlongs, 44 yards at York, won by Burgle, with 

 Humboldt second, Blythewood third. Adventurer, his sire, was a fine race-horse, 

 although he did not start in the Derby or St. Leger ; he won the Loudesborough 

 Plate (handicap), at Doncaster ; the City and Suburban Handicap, defeating Am 

 Umpire, Gen. Hesse, Asteroid, and a large field of others, the great Northern 

 Handicap and Flying Dutchman handicap at York, the Craven stakes, at Epsom, 

 and the Queen's Gold Vase, at Ascot, and was one of England's most popular sires. 

 Blythewood is a very richly bred horse, being a grandson of the famous old Beeswing, 

 on the side of the sire, Newminster, who won the Doncaster St. Leger, in 1851, and was 

 the sire of Nemesis, winner of the 1,000 guineas; Lord Clifden, winner of the St. Leger; 

 Hermit, winner of the Derby, and the most popular stallion in England. Adventurer is 

 a very popular stallion; he is the sire of Pretender, winner of the 2, 000 guineas, and Derby 

 in 1869 ; Apology, winner of the 1,000 guineas ; Oaks and St. Leger, in 1874, and Wheel 

 of Fortune, winner of the 1,000 gs., and Oaks in 1879 ; he is also the sire of Mr. P. 

 Lorillard's great two-year old Pizzarro ; Voltigeur, the sire of his dam, was one of the 

 few horses which won both the Derby and St. Leger, which he did together with the 

 Doncaster Cup, in 1858 ; Bonny Bell, his dam, is half sister to Blink Bonny, the dam 

 of Blair Athol, the best son of Stockwell, and his grandam, Queen Mary, is the dam of 

 Balrownie, Bonnie Scotland, and other famous animals. Bonne Scotland made a 

 reputation in this country which is as enduring as time. If there is anything in blood 

 and racing lineage, Blythewood should make a good sire. He is a dark bay, full 

 15| hands, with black points, and a star in the forehead, he possesses substance and 

 power commensurate with his height. The daughters of Bonnie Scotland, bred to him 

 will do much to preserve and perpetuate a popular and successful racing strain in 

 America. He is much inbred to Eclipse, Matchem and Herod, through Whalebone 

 Parasol, Emilius and Highflyer.
