4. The Duke Descars', first at Cliateau de Sourclie 

 (Sarthe) and then at Chateau de la Eoche (Vienne), to 

 which it was transferred in 1827 (with Tooley, son of 

 Walton and Phantasmagoria, Trance, son of Phantom 

 and Pope Joan, and Sidi-Mahmoud, a pure Barb, for 

 chief stud horses). 



5. M. de Kertangui's (at St. George, Morlaix, 

 Brittany, for the production of ' demi-sang ' chiefly).

 with the imported Enghsh sires Domenichino, son of 

 Vandyke, Junior and July, and Zoroaster [who ran in 

 the name of Knave of Clubs and stood in England 

 under the name of Prince Regent], son of Sorcerer and 

 Louisa, for stud horses too). 



7. The versatile Abbe de Pradt's (ex- Archbishop of 

 Malines), at his breeding establishment in Le Cantal, 

 wliere he offered to supply any sort of horse ' to order,' 

 as a tailor would supply a coat or a hat-maker a hat, of 

 any size, any colour, any number of legs — up to three 

 — that anybody pleased. 



8. Haras Ptoyal de Rozieres (under the management 

 of the Marquis de Vangiraud, where the animals bred 

 w^ere remarkable for being under-sized). It is said to 

 have been broken up in 1844, but must have been re- 

 orsfanised.

 Paris, probably with Tandem, formerly Multum in

 his Ilaras de TAllier and at his Haras de Madrid, Bois 

 de Boulogne, and to whom, as well as to M. J. E. 

 Schickler, the stud horse Tandem, ex-Multum in Parvo, 

 seems to have belonged for a time).
