PEDIGREE OF FASHION. 287 



The latter being an aged liorse — 9 yrs. old — will have to carry 

 126 lbs., while the mare's appropriate weight, being then 5 

 yrs. old, will be 111 lbs. ^o match, the South against the 

 l^orth, has been made up at all comparable to this in interest, 

 since that between Eclipse and Hemy, which came off over the 

 Union course on the 2Tth of May, 1828. Each champion has, 

 and is worthy of, troops of confident friends, and each is in 

 good hands. Let them come together in good condition — 

 give them a fair field and no favor, and — who can name the 

 winner ? 



Fashion's pedigree i7i extenso is as follows ; — 



1837. Fashion, ch. m., by English Trustee, out of Mariner's 

 dam, Bonnets o' Blue — own sister to Slender — by Sir Charles, 

 grandam Reality — own sister to Yanity and dam to Medley — 

 by Sir Archy, great grandam by English Medley, her dam by 

 English Centinel — English Janus — English Monliey- -English 

 Silver-Ej^e, &c. 



1829. Trustee, ch., a celebrated race-horse of Lord Darling- 

 ton's — since Duke of Cleveland — was got by Catton out of Emma, 

 b}' Whisker, &c., a famous pedigree, own brother to Mundig, 

 a Derby winner, and out of the dam — Emma dam of Ootherstone, 

 the winner of the Derby, who ought also to have won the St. 

 Leger. There is nothing superior to the pedigree of Trustee's 

 maternal ancestry in the English Stud Book. Catton, the sire 

 of this brace of distinguished brothers, was a capital performer 

 at all distances, winner of twenty-one races at N^ewmarket, Don- 

 caster, and York. Honest Trustee, as he was termed, beat Mar- 

 grave, the St. Leger winner, in the Derby race, and again as a 

 four-year-old, though beat by him for the St. Leger. He had 

 mostly la place d'honneur at Epsom, York, Don caster, and New- 

 market. Trustee was sire to Revenue, Reube, the trotter Trus- 

 tee, besides Fashion, and others of distinction. 



Bonnets o' Blue and Slender were first-rate at all distances, 

 and their half-brother Medley, by Sir Hal, ran with distinction. 



1816. Sir Charles, ch., the best race-horse of his year, was 

 got by Sir Archy, dam by English Citizen, grandam by Com- 

 mutation, son of Wildair, &c. Sir Charles's most distinguished 

 get were Wagner, Andrew, and Trifle.
