IMPORTED STAXLIONS. 463 



Dormouse — Foaled 1753. By Dormouse, out of Diana, by Whitefoot. 

 Bred by Lord Chedwortli. 



Dottrel — Said to be foaled 1757. By Changeling, dam by a son of 

 Wynn's Arabian, son of Lonsdale's Arabian, grand dam Black 

 Arabian, g. g. d. Curwen's Bay Barb, g. g. g. d. Burton Barb mare. 



P. A. Lee. 

 Not in the Stud Book — very suspicious. He goes to pure barb 

 or oriental blood in three generations, while it generally requires 

 at least nine or ten to reach it. H. W. H. 



Dove — Said to be imported into Maryland in 1791 or 1762. By Young 

 Cade, dam by Teazer, grand dam by G-ardiner. Thomas Goode. 



Not in Weatherby. Gardiner was not got till 1787, unless 

 there was one, not named in Stud Book. 



Dragon — Foaled 1787. By Woodpecker, out of Juno, by Spectator. 

 Imported into Virginia. John Hoomes. 



Dragon produced good stock. The dam of Sally Walker was 

 by him. MS. note by C. H. Hall. 



Driver — Foaled 1784. Said to be by Lord Egremont's Driver, dam 

 by Dorimant, grand dam Muse, by King Herod, g. g. d. by Crab, 

 out of Miss Meredith. Wm. Thornton. 



Lord Egremont's Driver, by Trentham, was not himself foaled 

 until 1783, and Muse, the grand dam of this Driver, never bore a 

 filly to Dorimant until 1788. In other words, this horse's sire was 

 begot one year before his son, and his dam two years afterward. 

 A Dorimant bay filly out of Muse, foaled in 1788, is said to have 

 been sent to America. MS. S. B. 



Drone — Foaled 1778. By Herod, out of Lily, by Blank, out of Peggy 

 by Cade. 



This horse is not included among Skinner's list of imported 

 horses, but he is marked in Weatherby's Stud Book, drowned on 

 his passage to America, to which I find the following note by the 

 late Mr. C. H. Hall : " A mistake Drone arrived safely, and 

 covered in Litchfield, Conn., and in Dutchess County, N. Y., but 

 no blood mares were put to him." 



Druid— Foaled 1790. By Pot8os, out of Maid of the Oaks, by Herod, 

 grand dam Rarity, by Matchem, g. g. d. Snapdragon, by Snap, 

 g. g. g. d. by Regulus. Imported into Virginia. 



John Hoomes.
