The Ens'lisli Horse.

 France. He was the sire of Sweetmeat, foaled in 1842. 



Sweetmeat was a very neat horse, a dark brown in 

 colour, like his dam ; and among other winning horses 

 was the sire of Mincemeat and Mincepie, winners of the 

 Oaks in 1854 and 1856; of Macaroni, winner of the 

 Two Thousand Guineas and Derby in 1863 ; and of 

 Carnival. Sweetmeat's dam was Lollypop, got by 

 Starch or Voltaire ; her dam Belinda, by Blacklock.

 to say if he or some other son of Sweetmeat is to hand 

 down the Gladiator branch, which, although not likely 

 to be lost in France, if it had not been for Sweetmeat, 

 would have been a dead letter in this country.

 Touchstone, from Emma, by Whisker, was a very neat 

 horse, but he would be called small. He won the Me- 

 tropolitan Stakes in 1861, however. As the best public 

 performer Macaroni must be considered for the present, 

 at all events, as the representative of the Gladiator 

 blood in this country. Queen Mary, by Gladiator, out 

 of a mare by Plcnipo, out of Myrrha, by Whalebone, is
