Besides combining the three valued crosses of Ilerod, 

 Matchem, and Eclipse, it will be observed Ariel's pedigree is 

 "richly imbued with the best English blood ; " to which she 

 traces almost directly from Childers, Partner, Crab, Snap, Cade, 

 Spark, Othello, Gimcrack, Mambrino^ Medley, PotSos, Messenger 

 Baronet, Diomed, &c. ; besides deriving her descent from the 

 best early importations. No other stock probably partakes as 

 much of the Messenger blood — ^no less than four crosses ; with 

 two, not very remote, from English Eclipse, two from Gimcrack, 

 two from imported Pacolet, and three from imjjorted Spark. 

 Her color sustains her valuable origin — running so much into 

 the Arabian blood. 



To correct what may seem trifling errors in the pedigree of 

 Ariel, before published, we now furnish it in full ; as collated 

 with all the information to be obtained, from the most authentic 

 sources — especially Edgar's "American Stud Book." 



From the certificates published in the second volume of the 

 American Turf Kegister, page 566, it appears Ariel was bred 

 in 1822, by Mr. Gerrit Yanderveer, of Flatbush, on Long Island, 

 Kings county, New York ; and that she was got by American 

 Eclipse ; her dam by Financier \ grandam Empress, by imported 

 Baronet ; great grandam, by imp. Messenger ; her dam by Snap 

 out of Jenny Duter, by True Briton ; her dam Quaker Lass by 

 imported Juniper, out of the imported Molly Pacolet, by imp. 

 Pacolet ; Molly Pacolet's dam by imported Spark, out of Queen 

 Mab, also imported, by Musgrove's gray Arabian — Hampton 

 Court Childers — chestnut Arabian — Leed's — Barb mare, Slugey, 

 dam of Croft's famous Greyliound, imported into England by 

 Mr. Marshall, master of the horse, in the reign of William and 

 Mary, of course anterior to 1694. 



American Eclipse, bred by Gen. Coles of L. L, foaled 1814 ; 

 was got by Duroc, his dam the famed race mare Miller's Damsel, 

 by imported Messenger, out of the imjjortcd PotSos mare ; her 

 dam by Gimcrack. Duroc, bred by Wade Mosely, Esq., of 

 Powhatan county, Yirginia, foaled 1809 : was got by imported 

 Diomed, out of Mr. Mosely's " extraordinaiy race mare
