have not included among these the sons of e King Cob ' and 

 ' Foremost/ which have been crossed with Wiltshire, Lancashire, 

 and Scotch blood, but shall mention them seriatim, after treating 

 of each of these varieties. 



In the above list, ' King Cob ' stands out prominently as the 

 sire of more large winners than any dog which ever ran; for though 

 6 Foremost' produced in his best three years 113 winners to 

 ' King Cob's '111, yet the sons and daughters of the latter won a 

 much greater proportion of large stakes. Thus, taking the best 

 six years of the running of each of their immediate produce, in 

 the five principal thirty-two dog stakes, ( King Cob,' from 1843 

 to 1848, produced the winners of six, and divided two; whilst 

 from 1847 to 1853, 'Foremost' only produced the winner of the 

 Newmarket Puppy Stake twice, and the winner of the All Aged 

 Stake at the same place once, the performance of ' Triste ' being 

 neutralised, as she divided the Puppy Stake with ( Trotzig,' by a son 

 of 'King Cob.' But, contrasting the value of the stakes won, the 

 difference is very great, for in opposition to these three Newmarket 

 performances of 'Cinneraria' and 'Tendresse,' two of which were 

 puppy stakes, may be adduced, 'Kizzie,' who won the Newmarket 

 All Aged Stake twice (the first time when a puppy) ' Probity,' who 

 in the following year divided the All Aged Stake with ( Dewdrop;' 

 ' Miles ' the next year dividing the same stake, and 'Amina' winning 

 it in 1848 ; and lastly, ' Magician,' who won the Waterloo Cup in the 

 same season. The account thus stands as follows : 'King Cob's ' 

 stock won four of the principal thirty-two dog All Aged Stakes, 

 and divided two, besides winning two puppy thirty-two dog stakes 

 whilst ( Foremost's ' stock have only won one thirty-two dog All
