 are not encouraging, for if we take the mares descended from the five matrons 

 I have mentioned, those now living of the first line have fallen off 45 in the last

 Blacklegged Royal Mare who went to Sedbury on the death of Queen Anne, have 

 dropped from 203 in 1000 to 196 in 1901, which is remarkable considering that 

 her line has produced such winners as Persimmon, Flying Fox, ITilJ/mvler, 

 Diamond Jubilee, Wat Australian, and Donov.in, not to mention Parmesan and 

 Wisdom among its 

 famous sires.
