 Aristides, Eolus ; Foxhall, who went to England

 and was second to the great Bend Or in the

 other great stakes; Grenada, Grimstead, Himyar, 

 Kingfisher, Monarchist, Sensation ; Spendthrift, a

 Tom Ochiltree, a great distance traveller; Uncas, 

 Virgil, Wanderer, Wildidle, and others belonging 

 to this particular decade of the American horse.
