The Enoiish Horse. 



'<i 



descent from the Darley Arabian through sire and dam, 

 and Gladiator (son of Partisan) strained back to the 

 Darley Arabian in two separate lines through PotSos 

 and Waxy, besides through numerous other channels. 



West Australian, a bay horse, with a white mark 

 down his face, foaled in 1850 ; his dam, Mowerina (sister 

 to Cotherstone, winner of the Derby, 1843), was by 

 Touchstone, a horse in-bred to the Darley Arabian 

 through sire and dam, out of Emma by Whisker (son of 

 Waxy out of Penelope, by Trumpator out of Prunella, 

 by Highflyer out of Promise), by Snap (grandson of 

 Flying Childers) ; and Emma's dam, Gibside Fair)-', was 

 by Hermes, son of Mercury, son of Eclipse, from Vicissi- 

 tude, granddaughter of Trumpator (descendant of the 

 Godolphin Arab or Barb), out of Beatrice by Sir Peter 

 Melbourne was also the sire of Oulston, whose dam was 

 Alice Hawthorn ; of The Prime Minister, whose dam 

 was by Pantaloon ; and of Young Melbourne, who, 

 again, is the sire of General Peel, whose dam was by 

 Orlando, from Brown Bess by Camel. 



West Australian was bought by Count De Morny, 

 and went to France, and notwithstanding the many 

 strains of fine blood he inherited, and his brilliant 

 success as a racehorse, I do not consider his exporta- 

 tion to have been any loss to this country. 



The line from the Godolphin Arab or Barb is princi- 

 pally represented by the following horses, and through 

 the branch from Humphrey Clinker and Melbourne — 

 The Prime Minister, Arthur Wellcslc}-, Cannobic, Oul- 

 ston, Mentmore, and Young Melbourne.
