Bald Galloway (her 

 dam by the Aucaster 

 Turk), bred by Sir 

 William Strickland in 

 1/18. But the match 

 did not come off, and 

 Roxana, whose only 

 produce so far had 

 been Mr. Coke's un- 

 named colt by Dervise, 

 became the mother of 

 Lath, by the Godolphin 

 Arabian in 1732, who 

 soon proved himself 

 the best horse of his 



generation. In the next year she had a sorrel colt named Roundhead by Flying 

 Childers, and in 1734 she died a fortnight after presenting the Godolpliin Arabian 

 with his second son, Cade, who was reared upon cow's milk 



Among the best of the Godolphin Arabian's get for Lord Godolphin were Babra- 

 Iiain, out of the Large Hartley Mare (by Hartley's Blind Horse) in 1740 ; Blank, out 

 of the Little Hartley Mare (by BartletCs Childers) in the same year ; Buffcoat, out of 

 Silver locks in 1742; 

 Creepc, out of Blossom in 

 1753; Dimple in the same 

 year ; Dormouse in 1738 ; 

 Tarquin, Weasel, and 

 Whitenose. But this is 

 far from exhausting the 

 list of his progeny, and 

 his blood is traceable in 

 nearly every thorough- 

 bred now on the turf.
