IMPORTED STALLIONS. 465 



Leviathan or Mezereon — Foaled in 1823. Imported into Alabama 

 in 1730. By Muley, dam Windle mare, Anvil, Virago, old La- 

 tham's dam, old Snap, Regulus, old Crab, Miss Slamerkin by Young 

 True Blue, Oxford Arabian, Lord D'Arcy's Royal mare. 



Of all the recent importations this horse has done more to im- 

 prove the modern stock of America than any other, with the excep- 

 tion of Grlencoe. 



He got the winners of 450 races, running 1517 miles, between 

 1835, when they first appeared on the Turf, and 1853. 



H. W. H. 



Light Infantry — Said to be by Eclipse, Feather, Childers, Partner, &c. 

 Nothing seems to be known about this horse, nor his color, date 

 of birth, or by whom imported. 



He is entirely doubtful and mythical. H. W. H, 



Lofty — Foaled 1753. By the Grodolphin Arabian. Croft's Partner — 

 Bloody Buttocks — Greyhound — Makeless — Brimmer. 



Lofty stood at Mr. Thomas Goode's stable in Chesterfield, Va., 

 in 1762. 



Lonsdale, a b. h. — Said to be by Jolly Roger, son of the Gower Stal- 

 lion, out of a Monkey mare by the Lonsdale Black Arabian, &c. 



It is said that he and his dam were both imported into Virginia, 

 but it seems to want proof. Moreover, Jolly Roger, alias Roger 

 of the Vale, was not by the Gower Stallion, but by Roundhead, 

 out of a Partner mare, unless there were two horses of the same 

 name, which is not probable. No such horse is named in the Stud 

 Book, and no date is given either of his birth or importation, 



LuDFORD, ch. h. — Foaled 1832. By Wamba, out of Idalia by Peru- 

 vian — Meteor — Maid of All- Work, &c. Wamba by Merlin, out 

 of Penelope by Trumpator out of Prunella.
