8o The English Horse. 



<b ' 



Humphrey Clinker, a bay horse, foaled in 1822; his 

 dam Clinkerina was by Clinker out of Pewet, by Tandem 

 out of Termagant, by Tantrum. Clinker was by Sir 

 Peter. Tantrum, the sire of Termagant, was by Cripple, 

 from a mare by the Hampton Court Childers (son of 

 Flying Childers) out of a mare by Whitefoot, from a 

 mare by Stanyoa's Arabian, from the Moonah Barb 

 mare. The dam of Termagant was Cantatrice, by 

 Sampson (son of Blaze, son of Flying Childers) out of 

 a mare by Regulus (son of the Godolphin Arab or 

 Barb). Cripple, the sire of Tantrum, was by the 

 Godolphin Arab or Barb out of Blossom, got by Crab 

 (son of Alcock's Arab) out of a mare by Flying 

 Childers. Humphrey Clinker was bred back to the 

 founder of his line, the Godolphin Arab or Barb, but he 

 had a great many strains of the Darley Arabian's blood. 



He was the sire of Rockingham, winner of the St. 

 Leger, 1833, and of Melbourne, a brown horse foaled in 

 1834. Although of no reputation as a racer, Melbourne 

 was more successful at the stud, and by having been the 

 sire of more winners of great events than any of his 

 predecessors did much to establish the popularity of 

 his line. 



His dam was by Cervantes, from a mare by Golumpus 

 (son of Gohanna, a direct male descendant of the 

 Darley Arabian through Eclipse), from a mare by Pay- 

 nator (son of Trumpator). Cervantes was by Don 

 Quixote (son or grandson of Eclipse) from Evelina, by 

 Highflyer out of Termagant, by Tantrum out of a mare 

 by Sampson (grandson of Flying Childers) — similai
