42 The English Horse. 



In him the Darley Arabian blood was returned to by 

 several strong infusions, as Maria had two strains of his 

 blood, and one of these by Blaze, son of Flying Childers, 

 and her dam Lisette, had two, one of them by Snap (her 

 sire), who was a grandson of Flying Childers, so that 

 Waxy had five fresh infusions through his dam, and two 

 of them through Flying Childers, 



Waxy was the sire of Pope, Whalebone, Blucher, and 

 Whisker (all Derby winners), and of Music, Minuet, and 

 Corinne (winners of the Oaks). These were all bays 

 except Corinne and Whalebone, who were brown. 



Whalebone and Whisker were own brothers. Music 

 and Minuet own sisters. Pope was foaled in 1806, his 

 dam Prunella, by Highflyer, from Promise, by Snap. 

 His career was principally in Ireland. Whalebone, foaled 

 in 1807, was the most distinguished of Waxy's sons. His 

 dam Penelope was by Trumpator, from Prunella, by 

 Highflyer, from Promise, by Snap. He was the sire of 

 Lapdog and Spaniel (both Derby winners), both bay, 

 and of Caroline (winner of the Oaks), also a bay, and 

 the line was handed down by three of his sons. Camel, 

 Defence, and Sir Hercules. His son Waverly was the 

 sire of The Saddler, and a reputed sire of Don John 

 (winner of the St. Leger in 1838), as Whalebone was of 

 Moses (the winner of the Derby in 1822). 



Three distinguished branches have sprung from these 

 three horses, which we must consider in the order they 

 stand. First, Camel, a brown horse with a blaze and 

 hind feet white, was from a Selim mare, whose dam was 

 Maiden, by Sir Peter. He was the sire of Touchstone
