LISBON by imp. Phaeton son of King Tom, bred by Richard Ten Broeck, foaled 

 1874, dam imp. Lady Love by Stockwell or Caterer, son of Stockwell, second dam Chere 

 Amie by Sweetmeat, out of Blame by Touchstone. Phaeton will be found in this 

 volume, his dam Lady Love was a winner in England at two-years old, and won the 

 Stewards Cup at Chester at four-years old, Chere Amie her grandam was also a race- 

 mare and winner. Caterer the reputed sire of Lady Love was a good race-horse, he 

 won the Findon Stakes at Goodwood when two-years old, defeating Wingrave, 

 Alvediston, Kaiser and others, and was second to the Marquis in the 2000 guineas with 

 Alvediston, Wingrave and thirteen others behind him. Sweetmeat the sire of his gran- 

 dam, was a superior race-horse, won the Queen's Vase at Ascot, and the Doncaster 

 Cup in 1845, he was the sire of Mincepie and Mincemeat, both Oaks winners, and 

 Macoroni winner of the Derby and 2000 guineas, and second in the list of winning 

 sires in 1882. Touchstone the sire of his great grandam Blame, won the St. Leger, the 

 Ascot Gold Cup in 1836-37, and the Doncaster Cup in 1835-36, and was second to no 

 sire of his day. Lisbon started three times as a two-year old and won one race. At 

 Louisville, Ky., won the Alexander Stakes, half mile, in :49|, beating McWhirter and 

 seven others. Was third in the Colt Stakes at Lexington, Ky., three-quarters of a 

 mile, King Faro and McWhirter running dead heat for first place, in 1 :18f . In 

 this race Lisbon beat Allen Pinkerton, Headlight, Planetarian and Edingburg. Was 

 third in the Belle Meade Stakes at Louisville, three-quarters of a mile, in 1 :17, won by 

 McWhirter, Baden-Baden second. As a three-year old he started only twice, and was 

 unplaced in both of his races. Only a few of Lisbon's get have appeared on the turf r 

 but the performances of Ripple alone have made him conspicuous as a sire. Ripple, 

 the season of 1881, won seven of his eleven starts. He won the Long Branch Handi- 

 cap, 1J miles, in 2:10J, beating Checkmate, Parole and Sir Hugh; also the Shrewsbury 

 Handicap, If miles, in 3:09$. In this race he carried a penalty of 5 Ibs. and 3 Ibs. 

 overweight. He unfortunately died that winter. Lisbon is a red bay, full 15 hands 

 high, with a blaze face and four white ankles, he is a horse of immense substance and 

 power, and in conformation second to none, is very muscular like all of Phaeton's sons, 

 and great constitution. In addition to his double cross of Glencoe through King Tom 

 and Stockwell, he has a double cross of Touchstone on each side, four or five crosses 

 of Waxy through Economist and Emma by Whisker and Camel and Sir Herculus by 

 Whalebone, fortified by the blood of Herod through the famous Highflyer, and Eclipse 

 through Pot-8-os and King Fergus. The blood is worth preserving through the 

 grandaughters of Phaeton and daughters of Great Tom, King Ban and King Ernest.
