I believe that, apart from this condensed summary of the results, 

 the tables themselves will amply repay persons interested in the myste- 

 ries of breeding, in and ow^-crossing, and the data on which different 

 theories rest, for a careful perusal. 



It is indisputably proved by the above, that a far less number of 

 imported stallions have got a far greater number of winners than the 

 American stallions, in the last eight and twenty years. And farther, 

 that the winning stock of the English stallions have won rather a larger 

 number of heats and run a greater number of miles, each for each, than 

 those of the Americans. 



Some of the very best stallions, if not the very best, of both conn- 

 tries have been brought into direct competition; audit would seem evi- 

 dent, even to the most prejudiced, that the result of this out-crosa has 

 been beneficial to the American horse of the present day. 



It will be observed, that Leviathan has got by far the greatest number 

 of winners in the most years ; next to him Grlencoe, Luzborough, Sove- 

 reign, Priam and Trustee. 



Of all these horses, except Luzborough, full genealogical tables are 

 given in the body of the work ; as also of English Eclipse, Diomed, and 

 Castianira, the sire and dam of Sir Archy, American Eclipse, Boston 

 and Fashion — and the consultation of these tables will materially assist 

 the breeder of horses of whatever class.
