In 1893 Geheimniss was bred to Saraband, 

 and then sent into the sale ring, to be bought 

 by Count LehndoriF for 1550 guineas. Her 

 stud achievements in Germany were, on the 

 whole, disappointing. The best of the produce 

 she threw after leaving England was the filly 

 Balomantine, who won the German Oaks and 

 afterwards bred Kassandra, winner of the Ham- 

 burg Grand Prize. Of her English-bred sons 

 and daughters all won races except Word of 

 Honour. The best of them, regarded from the 

 racing point of view, was Omladina, who, owned 

 by the late Duke of Westminster, won five races 

 worth ;^3886. She ran second to St. Frusquin 

 in the Middle Park Plate, with Persimmon 

 behind her. Unfortunately she lacked con- 

 stitution, and though a very good two-year-old 

 was practically useless afterwards. Sir Blundell 

 Maple took her into his stud, only to find her 

 a disappointing brood mare. Oddfellow and 

 Grand Master went to the United States, where 

 they did fairly well as sires. Freemason and 

 Dame President were sold by auction as yearlings.
