ONONDAGA by imp. Leamington, son of Faugh-a-Ballagh, bred by Mr. A. Welsh, 

 Erdenheim Stud, Pa. , foaled 1879, dam Susan Beane, dam of Stratford, Sensation , &c. 

 by Lexington out of Sally Lewis, dam of John Morgan, Hunter's Lexington, Acrobat, 

 <fec., by imp. Glencoe. Onondaga as a two-year old started in nine races, of which 

 he won four ; Jerome Park, won the Juvenile Stakes, half a mile in 50-, beating 

 Gerald, Memento and twelve others ; Sheepshead Bay, won match three-quarters of a 

 mile in 1 : 15, beating Sachem ; Monmouth Park, won the July Stakes for two-year 

 olds, five furlongs in 1 : 02-J-, beating Gerald, Memento and three others ; Saratoga, 

 won the Kentucky Stakes for two-year olds, three-quarters of a mile in 1 : 16, beating 

 Nightcap and Glenarm ; Sheepshead Bay was second in the Surf Stakes for two-year 

 olds, five furlongs, won by Stonehenge Julietta Colt, in 1 : 03J ; at Monmouth Park, 

 was third in the August Stakes for two-year olds, three-quarters of a mile, won by 

 Stonehenge Julietta Colt, in 1 : 16, and was unplaced in his other races. Onondaga 

 complaining in his legs was retired ; he is from one of the great racing families of 

 America, is own brother to Sensation, the invincible horse of his year, his dam is own 

 sister to Acrobat and Hunter's Lexington, and half-sister to John Morgan ; all were 

 good race-horses, and for their chances, successful sires. The pedigree is well- 

 fortified with Arcby and Diomed blood, upon the Eclipse and Herod, and traces 

 through the dam of Medoc to the family which gave Lexington and other famous 

 horses to the country. Onondaga is a chestnut, 15f hands, large star in his forehead, 

 and snip on the nose, with white hairs in his flanks, left hind foot white above the 

 ankle ; he is a good shaped horse, and was quite speedy ; the family is a racing one, 

 and upon good mares should reproduce itself.
