 of many of the first and most famous turfmen and breeders in the country. No pains have 

 been spared to render it correct and entirely reliable as an indispensable authentic Stud- 

 Hegister.

 inevitable fact 



From Wilkes* Spirit of the Times. 



"We are very glad to be able to announce to the horsemen of this country that a 

 good, reliable Mud-Book has been compiled by J. H. Wallace, Esq., who has devoted ten 

 years of his time to faithful labor at it. Mr. Wallace brings many eminent qualifications 

 to the task. He is a gentleman of high culture and rare tact in discriminating between 

 the true and the false. His order and system are apparent in every thing he undertakes. 

 In all questions of doubtful or disputed pedigrees he has long been the recognized 

 authority. * * * A man of clear intellect and very resolute perseverance hns been 

 for ten years arduously at work, and we heartily congratulate the country on the fact 

 that it will gather the fruits of his labor."
