Will stand the season of 1883 at the Stud Farm of his owner, John

HURRAH by Newminster, son of Touchstone, bred by the Rawcliff Stud Co. , foaled 

 1862, dam Jovial by Bay Middleton, son of Sultan, out of sis. to Grey Momus by 

 Comus. Newminster, his sire, won the St. Leger in 1851, was son of Touchstone 

 (winner of the St. Leger, in 1834), and the celebrated Beeswing, by Dr. Syntax, who 

 won the Doncaster Cup in 1837 and also in 1840, 1841, and 1842, the only time any 

 animal ever accomplished the feat, carrying in 1840 and 1841 126 Ibs. Bay Middleton, 

 sire of his dam, was winner of the Derby in 1836. 



Hurrah, as a two-year old, started eleven times, won two races, was second in three, 

 and unplaced in the others. Newmarket, won plate for two-years-olds, 5 furlongs 

 140 yards, beating Zephyr and six others ; ran second to Tragedy in sweepstake, 5 fur- 

 longs 182 yards, beating Bessy. Shrewsbury, ran second to Peignoir in the Racing 

 Plate, one mile, beating Procella and Teddy. Ran second to Antoinette in the Acton 

 Burnel Stakes, three-quarters of a mile, defeating Princess Dagmar ; won a 

 Handicap plate, three-quarters of a mile, beating Usher ; was unplaced in his other 

 races. At three-year old, started twelve times, won one race, was third in one, and un. 

 placed in the others. Won Selling Race, three-quarters of a mile, at West Drayton, 

 defeating Little Pickles and Linus. At four years old, ran ten races, was second in 

 one, third in two, and unplaced in the others. 



Hurrah is one of the most fashionable bred sires of the present day. Independent 

 of his good looks and soiindness, he is one of the stoutest bred animals living. He is 

 a rich bay, without white, over 16 hands high, has capital legs and feet, straight, grand 

 action ; is also sound in every respect, being free from curbs, spavin, roaring, or any 

 other hereditary disease. He cannot be said to have had a fair chance in the stud, as 

 he has only covered a few good fashionable mares, being located in a section where 

 there are not many breeders of thoroughbreds. The best of his get are Chaquita, 

 winner of a mile in 1 :44, 2 miles in 3 :37, the Fordham Handicap at Jerome Park, 

 li miles, in 2:lli, Dill Wiggins, mile in 1:45; 2 miles, 3:36; Huckleberry, Bur- 

 goo, a winner of many races ; Lady Amanda, Lady Mack, Waller, a winner with high 

 weights ; Bonnie Lizzie, three-quarters of a mile heats in 1 :15 and 1 :14f , 5 furlongs 

 in 1 :02, and other good races ; Ohio Boy, Lady Middleton, Hermit, Dispute, Bonnie 

 Ford, Reber, Louise Gwynne, Little Buttercup, Hippogriff, LadyBlandy, George IV., 

 Nightcap, Nellie Peyton, Red Fox, Tramway, Fanny Cook, Medusa, Wauculla, Brad 

 (Stand Off), Referee, Monk, Hostage, Maniac, and others that were winners. He has 

 a combination of speedy and stout blood, and his daughters should prove valuable in 

 the stud. He traces on both sides to Eclipse and Herod, through reputable horses, to 

 the Burton Barb mare.
