 Few of his sons were ever in the stud, as he was notorious as a getter of fillies. Van- 

 dal sired Mollie Jackson, Alta Vela, Vandalite. Virgil, sire of Hindoo ; Coral, the dam of 

 Wanderer and Uncas, and other noted ones; Star Davis, sire of Matt Davis, Day Star 

 and others. It is safe to say that few or none of the most famous horses now on the turf 

 but have a cross of Glencoe. Glencoe stood in Alabama and Tennessee from 1837 to 

 1848; he was then purchased by W. F. Harper and taken to Kentucky, where he 

 stood to the day of his death. He was purchased by the late A, Keene Richards in the 

 summer of 1857 and died at his farm in August of that year, aged 26 years. Such 

 was his indomitable courage that he literally died standing upon his feet. His name 

 and fame is as enduring as time. 



LEAMINGTON (Imp.) 



(WINNER OF WOODCOTE STAKES AT WARWICK, CHESTERFIELD 

 STAKES AT DERBY, STEWARDS CUP AT SHREWSBURY, CHESTER 

 CUP AT CHESTER, AND GOODWOOD STAKES.) 



LEAMINGTON, by Faugh-a Ballagh, son of Sir Hercules, bred by Mr. Halford, 

 foaled 1853, dam by Pantaloon, son of Castrel ; Faugh-a Ballagh was own brother to- 

 Irish Birdcatcher, and won the St. Leger in 1844 ; Pantaloon, sire of Leamington's 

 dam, was a superior race-horse; started seven times as a three-year-old; won six races, 

 and was first in the seventh, but disqualified for loss of weight. He was a valuable 

 stallion, sire of Ghuznee, winner of the Oaks in 1841; Satirist, winner of the St. 

 Lfger, in 1851; Jocose, dam of Macaroni; Pantolonade, dam of the Prime Minister, 

 sire of Knight of the Garter, and Fair Helen, the dam of Lord of the Isles, winner of 

 the Two Thousand Guineas in 1855, and sire of Dundee, &c. Leamington was con- 

 sidered a first-class race-horse, especially with heavy weights. When two years old 

 he started five times, lost three, and won two races the Woodcote Stakes at War- 

 wick, defeating Ceres and Mavourneen, and the Chesterfield Stakes at Derby, beating 

 Stork and four others. As a three-year-old, started ten times; lost seven, won three 

 the Wrotterby Stakes at Wolverhampton, beating Harrie and two others, the Town 

 Plate at Warwick, beating Elfrida, Octavia, and three others, and the Steward's Cup 

 at Shrewsbury, beating Octavia, Agra, and eight others. At four years old, started 

 five times; lost three and won two the Tradesman's Plate at Chester, beating Dra- 

 mour, Dulcamara, and thirty-two others, and the Goodwood Stakes at Goodwood. 

 In this race, 2$ miles, he carried 118 pounds, and beat eighteen horses. Gunboat, 

 three years old, 91 pounds, was second, Somerset (3), 88 pounds, third, and Fish- 

 erman', 4 years old, with 124 pounds up, was not placed. The odds were 100 to 3 

 against Leamington. In his five year-old year he only started once and was beaten. 

 In his six year-old year he started three times; was beaten once, paid forfeit to Saun- 

 terer, and won the Chester Cup, course 2 miles, in which he beat a field of 

 thirty-two horses, including the American mare Prioress and the great Fisher- 

 man. This ended his turf career. Leamington made six seasons in England, but 

 was not regarded as a success in the stud. The best of his get in England were Pro- 

 cella, Catalogue, Coup d' Etat, Lady Warwick, Lemonade, Queen of Crystal, Lady 

 of Coverdale, Bella, Boleno, Cheltenham, Fitzroy, Fortunatus, Warwick, Variation, 

 Ruppera, Cora, Catiline, Haymaker and others. He was a success in America from 

 the start, he made his first season in America at the Bosque Bonita Stud in Kenti cky, 

 and the fruits of that season were Enquirer, a first-class race-horse, and one of the 

 most successful stallions in the country; Longfellow, a superior race-horse and suc- 

 cessful sire, Lyttlnton, Lynchburg, Miss Alice, Anna Mace, then followed Eolus a 

 fine race-horse and one of the most promising sires in the country, Ida Wells. Nettie
