224 PECULIAR CHARACTERISTICS OF VARIOUS STALLIONS. 



Aged Stake, and two thirty-two dog Puppy Stakes : in both cases, 

 the comparison being confined to the Newmarket, Wiltshire, and 

 Waterloo Cups. But it may be said that the performances of the 

 * second dogs in these stakes are really as good as the first, luck 

 being taken into account ; and certainly, in this view, the differ- 

 ence is not quite so great, though still very remarkable, since the 

 produce of ' Foremost ' have run up for these stakes five times to 

 to ( King Cob's ' twice, 'besides winning the Waterloo Purse twice. 

 But though in the first generation the stock of 'King Cob' and 

 ' Foremost ' were very nearly on an equality, since that time the 

 former have completely eclipsed the latter. The sons and 

 daughters of ' Figaro ' alone have by far eclipsed all the stock of 

 'Czar,' 'War Eagle,' 'Wrestler,' and 'Staymaker' combined; while, 

 as we come still nearer to the present time, we find 'Bedlamite,' 

 'Motley,' 'Field Marshal,' 'Baron,' 'David,' 'Effort, 1 'The 

 Brewer,' 'Boisterous,' 'British Tar,' 'Seagull,' 'Sam,' 'Regan,' 

 'Rebel,' 'Jacobite,' 'Selby,' 'Ranter,' 'The Wizard,' 'Black 

 Adder ' and ' Black Eagle,' ' Cardinal York,' ' Picton,' ' Mansoor,' 

 'Mechanic,' 'Windermere/ 'Railroad,' 'Paramount,' 'King water,' 

 ' Grabriel,' Colchicum,' ' Little Wonder,' ' Lapidist,' ' Ingomar,' 

 &c. &c., all containing more or less of the blood of Captain 

 Daintree's celebrated dog, while the male descendants of ' Fore- 

 most' which have been at all used at the stud are confined to 

 'The Czar,' 'War Eagle,' 'Wrestler,' 'Foremost Junior,' 'Sack- 

 cloth,' ' Staymaker,' ' Baron Garnock,' ' Lysander,' and one or two 

 others of still less note.
