IWomed is probably the greatest sire of the greatest winner-getters ever 

 brought into this country. Had he got none but Sir Archy, out of im- 

 ported Castianira — who brought him to America in her belly — that re- 

 nown alone would have been more than enough ; for scarce a recent 

 horse in England, unless it be PotSo's, has so distinguished himself as a 

 progenitor. 



He begot Bolivar, Diana, Dinwiddle, Duroc, Florizel, Gallatin, Grac- 

 chus, Hamlintonian, Hampton, Hornet, King Herod, Lady Chesterfield, 

 Madison, Marske, Nettle-top, Peace-maker, Potomac, Primrose, Sir Ar- 

 chy, Top-gallant, Truxton, Virginius, Wonder, and many others. Most 

 of the horses named above were the greatest runners of their day, and 

 the getters of the greatest racers and sires to the present time. Boston, 

 prooably the very best horse that ever ran on American soil, was by Ti- 

 moleon, grandson of Sir Archy, the best son of Diomed ; while Fashion, 

 the very best mare that ever ran on this side the water, by her dam. Bon- 

 nets of Blue, daughter of Reality, was great-granddaughter of that same 

 noble stallion ; and by her grandsire Sir Charles, sire of Bonnets and son 

 of Sir Archy, was also his great-granddaughter, a second time, in the 

 maternal line.
