LEGATEE by Lexington, son of Boston, bred in the Woodburn Stud, Ky., foaled 

 1866, dam Levity, dam of Ruric, Lever, etc., by imp Trustee, son of Catton, out of 

 Alaric's and Vandal's dam by imp Tranby. Legatee made his appearance as a three- 

 year old, starting in five races. Jerome Park was second in a race of 2 mile heats, 

 won by Abd-el-Kader, in 3:54, 3:54, track muddy. Was third in the Grand Na- 

 tional Handicap, 2 miles, won by La Polka in 4:1S. At Saratoga was third in a 

 dash of three-quarters of a mile, won by Fanny Ludlow, in 1:19, and was unplaced 

 in his other races. As a four-year old started six times, and won one race. Mon- 

 mouth Park won the Restoration Stakes, four mile heats, in 7:45f, 7:52f, beating 

 Carrie Atherton and Abd-el-Kader, the only other starters. Was second in a dash 

 of \\ miles, won by imp. Glenelg, in 2 :37f. Saratoga was second in a dash of 2 miles, 

 won by the Banshee in 3 :>5. Was second in a dash of If miles, won by Haric, in 

 3.10. Jerome Park was third in the Jockey Club Handicap, 2 miles, won by Helm- 

 bold, in 3:44. Saratoga was third in a dash of If miles, won by Gen. Duke, in 3:10|. 

 This closed his turf career. He stood near Willmington, Del., but covered no thorough- 

 bred mare until 1879, Mirth and Fairview are the only ones by him trained, the latter 

 won three-quarters of a mile, in 1 :18, five furlongs in 1 :02f , and again in 1 :04. He 

 is a solid bay with black points, and a compact highly shaped horse all over. He 

 possesses the stoutest and speediest of our native cross from Sir Archy and Diomed, 

 decends from the family of Blacknose, Alaric, Ruric, Vandal and Lexington, all 

 famous as race-horses and sires. His brother, Lever, has been a great success, and he 

 only needs a chance to show his quality. Legatee is much inbred to Herod and 

 Eclipse, thence to the Cullen Arabian, Darley and Godolphin Arabians.
