This was the most distinguished horse of all the early importa- 

 tions, and left the most decided mark on the American race-horse, 

 prior to the days of Sir Archy. He was imported by CoL John 

 Baylor, of Virginia ; and it is curious, in these days of enormous 

 prices, to learn that his cost, on lauding, including freight, insurance, 

 provender, and grooming, amounted to only £289 5s. 6d. sterling.

 Nonpareil, out of a Janus mare ; Nimrod, out of a Partner ;
