 dam and sire to the famous Web by Waxy, own sister to Whalebone, AVhisker, etc. ; 

 his dam is by the great Stockwell, and his great grandam. Queen Mary, was the dam 

 of Balrownie, Bonnie Scotland, Blink Bonny, the dam of Blair Athol. No descendant 

 of Queen Mary has ever failed to reproduce itself. Bertram is a blood bay, 16i hands 

 high, with small star in forehead, black points — a finely shaped horse all over, with 

 the best of legs and feet. His immense substance and power and winning strains of 

 blood should make him a desirable stallion. He has several crosses of Whalebone and 

 Whisker, two of the best sons ofWaxy, by Pot 8o's, son of Eclipse.
