of Van Tromp, the winner of the St. Leger 1847; of 

 Catharine Hayes, winner of the Oaks 1853 ; of Loup- 

 Garou, and Beauty the dam of Nutbush. His success 

 at the stud was hardly so great as was expected ; per- 

 haps he was at first too freely used — not an unfrequent 

 occurrence. As a racer I question if he could be con- 

 sidered first-rate, although he was a stout horse, which 

 may have been owing to his infirmity, for he was tender-

 her dam by Orville from a mare by Buzzard out of 

 Hornpipe, by Trumpator, out of Luna, by Herod ; her 

 dam, Proserpine, own sister to Eclipse. There is very
