462 THE HORSE. 



Janus — Foaled in 1746. Imported into Va., about 1752. Said to be 

 by old Jauus, son of the Godolphin Arab out of the Little Hartley 

 mare, dam by Fox, g. dam by Bald Galloway. Not in the Stud 

 Book, but probably genuine. He is said to have been the sire of an 

 immense quantity of speedy, short-distance racers. His immediate 

 descendants could not stay a distance, but his remote posterity are 

 said to have had great muscle and bottom, and his blood still holds 

 in excellent repute. 



Celer was justly considered the best son of old Janus, as he 

 propagated a stock equal in every quality to those of the stock be- 

 gotten by his sire. He was bred by Mr. Mead of Virginia, and 

 foaled in 1774, died in 1802, aged 28 years. 



As the pedigree on his dam's side is not generally known, I will 

 here give it. The dam of Celer was got by Imp. horse Aristotle 

 by the Cullen Arabian, dam by Crab, grand dam Godolphin Arab 

 out of White Cheeks. Mason's Farrier. 



This, however, gives but a very small part of Celer's maternal 

 pedigree, and fails in the most essential part — the maternal line. 

 Any one can trace Aristotle in the English Books ; but how to learn 

 the grand dam of Celer. H. W. H. 



John Bull — Foaled 1789. By Fortitude out of Xantippe, by Eclipse 

 out of Grecian Princess.

 by Snap, g. g. g. g. g. dam Miss Vernon by Cade, g. g. g. g. g. g. 

 dam the Widdrington mare by Partner. 



The dam of Chateau Margaux, was Wasp by Gohanna, grand 

 dam by Highflyer. 



He was imported in 1834, when one year old, by Capt. Stockton, 

 U. S. Navy. He covered in 1838 and '39 in Maryland. He 

 proved a sure foal getter, but his stook have not done much. 



Jolly Roger, alias Roger of the Valie — Foaled 1741. By Round- 

 head, dam by Croft's Partner, g. dam by Woodcock, g. g. dam by 

 Croft's Bay Barb, Makeless, Brimmer, Dicky Pearson, son of old 

 Dodsworth, Burton Barb Mare. 



One of the very best early importations. His blood still has 

 its mark in the best stock of the present day. 



Jonah — Foaled in 1795. Escape, dam by Lavender by King Herod, g 

 dam by Snap, g. dam Cade out of Madam by Bloody Buttocks.
