The American Thoroughbred 



The great Chester, alluded to in the chapter devoted to the thoroughbred horses

Here is an almost parallel case to that of Ayrshire, save that the Delpini mare 

 which produced The Colonel (St. Leger of '28 and dead heat for the Derby) was six

 favor of this kind of in-breeding, provided the intermediate crosses are entirely dissimi-
