The Modern British Thoroughbred 67 



1817, defeating Blacklock and others; Muley, the only stallion in history to get a 

 Derby winner at 26 years of age; Master Henry, winner of The Whip (four miles) 

 in i8iq and sire of that great broodmare Banter; Edmund, sire of Margaret, dam of 

 Ion and Eclat, dam of Little Red Rover ; Andrew, sire of Cadland who won the 

 Derby of 1828; and of Gadabout, whose daughter, Miss Pratt, produced Echidna, dam 

 of The Baron. Among other good matrons sired by Orville were Louisa, who pro- 

 duced Jerry, St. Leger 1824; Desdemona, dam of Mulatto, Doncaster Cup of 1827 and 

 sire of Bloomsbury; and two unnamed mares, respectively the dams of Heron (sire 

 of Fisherman) and Slane, who lacked 15 of being the premier sire of England in 

 1845 . Candidly, I have the most serious doubts if a better sire than Orville ever lived. 



1804, ORVILLINA, by Beningbrough, produced Sandbeck, the sire of Redshank and 

 of Barbelle, dam of Flying Dutchman, who won the Derby and St. Leger of 1849 and 

 the Ascot Cup of 1850; and of Van Tromp, by Lanercost, winner of the St. Leger of 

 1847 and Emperor of Russia's Cup in 1849. 



1806, CERVANTES, b c, by Don Quixote (sire of Sancho, St. Leger of 1804) got 

 Neva, Oaks and One Thousand of 1817; the dam of Rebecca who produce'd Alice Haw- 

 thorn, dam of Thormanby ; and the unnamed mare that produced Morpeth and Mel- 

 bourne, the latter being the sire of West Australian and Blink Bonny. 



1813, PAULOWITZ,, b c, by Sir Paul. He got Archibald, winner of the Two Thou- 

 sand Guineas, and Cain. The latter got Ion, who ran second in both the Derby and 

 St. Leger of 1838; and Ion got Wild Davrell, Derby winner of 1855 and sire of 

 Buccaneer. 



> PENELOPE, B M,, 1708. 



Bred by the Duke of Grafton and got by Trumpator out of Prunella ' dam of 

 Waxy Pope, Derby of 1809) by Highflyer, from Promise by Snap-Julia by Blank-Spec- 

 tator's dam by Partner. She produced an unnamed filly that won one race. 



Also i8o7,WHALEBONE, brc, by Waxy, won 20 races, including the Derby. Got 

 3 Derby winners and one each of the Oaks, Ascot Cup and Goodwood Cup. Sire of

 the Derby 1815 and got The Colonel and Memnon, winners of the St. Leger. His get 

 won 55,140 and 10 gold cups. 



1814, WATERLOO, b c, by Walton. Mr. Osborne says he won the St. Leger but 

 that is incorrect, for Reveller, by Comus, won it in that year. He won only three races 

 but got 37 winners of 11,754 atl d s ' x cups. 



1819, WHIZGIG, by Rubens. Won the 1000 guineas and produced Oxygen, winner 

 of the Oaks in 1831. 



1822, WALTZ, ch f, by Election (Derby of 1806), son of Gohanna. She produced
