26 HISTORY OF THE 



plain but intelligent, and he has a stout neck, well inclined 

 shoulders, stout middle piece, great depth through the heart, 

 a trifle long in the back, good hips, quarters, and stifles, with 

 sound feet and legs, and his action when extended is easy and 

 frictionless. Hindoo was bred by D. Swigert, Stockwood farm, 

 Spring Station, Ky., and purchased at two-years-old by his pres- 

 ent owners for $15,000. He started nine times at two-years-old 

 and won seven. He has started twice this season and won the 

 Blue Ribbon 1 y 2 miles at Lexington, Ky., in 2 :38, and the 

 Kentucky Derby, \ l / 2 miles, at Louisville, in 2:40. He has 

 twenty-four more engagements this year, and, barring accidents, 

 in our opinion, they all lay at his mercy.
