brood mare Hope, with her filly by Marplot, besides importing from 

 EnglaiK.], Star, by Highflyer, out of a mare by Snap — a very promising 

 stallion from the appearance of his colts, when he left England ; also, 

 Fire Brand, a ch. c. by Buzzard, out of Fanny, own sister to King Fergus 

 — a br, f. got by Sir Peter out of Vivaldi's dam by Mercuiy. This filly 

 was trained, and ran under the name of Cinderella — a roan colt, own 

 brother to the brown filly mentioned above — a large b. f. by Sir Peter, 

 dam by Woodpecker — a gr. f. by Sir Peter out of Bab by Bordeaux ; 

 and a dark br. f by Trumpator out of Demirep by Highflyer. Of the 

 above importations Star did not answer the expectations raised of him 

 as a foal getter in South Carolina, Fire Brand died on his passage out 

 to this country. The roan colt was called Sir Peter Teazle ; he was 

 trained, but never ran. The grey filly was called Psyche, and was in 

 the stud of Col. Singleton. 



Gen. Hampton was for a long time one of the most spirited of the 

 South Carolina racing men. He trained and ran Mogul, a very great 

 three mile horse — Lath, Hazard, Patriot, Harpoon, Maria, Rattle, Lady 

 Bull, Highlander, Arabella, Dungannon, Merchant, Omar and Caroline, 

 cum multis aliis, with many others, too numerous to mention in this 

 place. In 1800 he won all the purses at Charleston, Maria winning on 

 the first and fourth days. Harpoon the second day, and Rattle the third 

 day. 



Ugly, a very fortunate horse, though bred by Gen. Sumter, was usually 

 run by Gen. Hampton. He vs^as a good four mile horse. He was ugl^/ 

 by nature as well as by name. On one occasion, after he had made a 

 capital race, a gentleman (the late Judge Huger, who in a green old age 

 long enjoyed the love and veneration of his native State) looking at him 

 in the crowd, remarked, "Who would have expected such a performance 

 from such an unpromising looking animal ?" Gen. Hampton, overhear- 

 ing the observation, with characteristic quickness of repartee, replied : 

 " Perhaps, sir, you did not know who trained him." 



Gen. Hampton purchased from Col. Alston a br. c. Wonder, by old 

 Fhmnap out of Kitty Fisher — a b. c. by Stirling, out of Kitty Bull — a 

 ch. f . by Bedford, out of an imported ch. f. by Mambrino, out of a sister 

 to Naylor's Sally. This was a full sister to the, great Gallatin ! 



The following pedigrees were arranged by Col. James Ferguson, at 

 Millwood, the seat of Col. Hampton, near Columbia, S. C, 24th May, 

 1843, from memoranda made by Gen. Hampton in his own hand-writing 

 in the blank pages of an old edition of the English Stud Book. And 

 here let me take occasion to say, least I should omit to make the acknow-
