Prerogative — Said to be imported from Jamaica into America, and to 

 be got by Trumpator, dam by Changeling, on the faith of a Chron-

 as doubtful. H. W. H. 



Priam — Foaled 1827. Emilius out of Cressida by Whiskey, Young 

 Giantess. 



Priam was winner of the Derby in England and many other 

 capital stakes. He has got in America very many winners, and 

 some horses of good fame, but he is a tall, light-bodied, leggy horse, 

 and it is very doubtful to me if he has not done more injury than 

 good to the stock of the United States for permanent improvement 

 of form and soundness. His stock appear to me to be tied under 

 the knees and hocks. 



However, his get have won in the space of fifteen years 257 

 races, making an aggregate of 887 miles.

 dam sister to Mixbury. Covered at St. John's Parish, S. C.

 g. g. dam Mogul, g. g. g. dam Camilla by Bay Bolton, g. g. g. dam 

 Starling's dam. The date of his birth is not known. His dam 

 was foaled in 1768.

 con, Sportsman, Goldeulocks by Oroonoko, Valiant, dam by Crab, 

 Thwaite's mare.
