"CHERRY AND BLACK" 



Oaks, Ladles, and Mermaid Stakes but for her familiar

 generation" of Rancocas, "a blaze-faced young rip," 

 with four white feet, and covered with grey hairs that

 ear trigs ^.^ dam, The Squaw, was a full sister to 

 Enquirer and Mr. Lorillard gave Mrs. Brown $1000 

 for him. A bay colt by Glenlyon-Minnie Minor is 

 rather coarse, while Manitoba, by Glenlyon, lacks stifle 



power. Young Duke, by Duke of Ma- 



Minnie Minor's ^ 1 ^1 i- Ji.-i w u 



P , genta, has the grey hairs and tail which 



seem to be the Duke's escutcheon. En- 

 dymlon, purchased of Mrs. Hart for $5000, is a Ten

 Radha and Kaskaskia.

 until the frost sets in, but the weanlings had been kept
