MUSCOVY by The Drake, son of the great Stockwell, bred by Her Majesty the Queen; 

 foaled spring of 1873, dam Lady of the Manor, the dam of Athbania, Bluestone,etc.,by 

 Voltigeur, winner of the double events, Derby and St. Leger; 2d dam Hersey, the dam 

 of Bay Celia, Desdemona,etc ., by Glaucus, winner of the Gold Cup at Ascot and Good 

 wood Stakes and sire of Refraction, winner of the Oaks Stakes at Epsom, out of Hes- 

 ter dam of Palmyra, Chatham, The Nabob, etc. , by Camel son of Whalebone and sire 

 of the great Touchstone, Launcelot, etc. The Drake, sire of Muscovy, was a winner 

 in his two and three-year-old form and is a stoutly bred horse, being a son of the Em- 

 peror of stallions, Stockwell, and out of a daughter of Pyrrhus the First, a Derby 

 winner, and his great grandam a daughter of Jerry, a St. Leger winner. The Pro- 

 vost, the sire of his grandam, ran a dead heat for second place in the St. Leger won 

 by Charles XII. He has a double cross of Waxy through the brothers Woful, Whisker 

 and Whalebone. Muscovy is bred for speed and stoutness, the pedigree on both sire 

 and dam's side tracing through a long line of distinguished performers in the great 

 Classic events, and is full of Eclipse and Herod blood through their most famous sons, 

 Pot-8o-s and Highflyer, upon the favorite Oriental sources, Godolphin Barb and Darley 

 Arabian. Muscovy never raced ; but some of the best sires, for causes, made no repu- 

 tation on the turf. Muscovy is a very dark brown horse, full 16 hands high, with 

 black points. He is truly shaped all over and full of substance and quality.
