This has been one of the most successful of the sons of Royal 

 George. He was foaled in 1853, and was a chestnut. He was bred by 

 Geo. McKinley, of Oakville, Canada "West. His dam was the Erin 

 mare, by Erin; said to be son of Henry, grandam by Grand Turk. 

 This is a Canadian pedigree with which 1 am not familiar. He was 

 a large and elegant horse, on the model of his sire, for strength and 

 way of going.

 clean and sound limbs and feet. He is a trotter of the Royal George 

 pattern, and one of the finest representatives of that family yet
