 West Australian 1853, Blair Athol in 1864, Gladiateur in 1865, Lord Lyon in 1866, 

 Silvio in 1877, and Iroquois in 1881 ; not one of all these won so many good races in 

 the same year. Iroquois is a brown, 16 hands high with white stripe down the face 

 and white around the coronet of the left fore foot; he has a well placed oblique 

 shoulder, good barrel, fine hip and loin and sound good legs and feet. We shall expect 

 to see him a grand success in the stud.
