Moccasin, by Macaroni, son of Sweetmeat by Gladiateur, bred by Mr. H.W. Deacon, 

 foaled 1874 and imported by Mr. Lorillard when a yearling ; dam Madame Strauss, 

 dam of RawclifE and Ormelie, by King Tom, son of Harkaway, out of Jetty Treffz, 

 by Melbourne, son of Humphrey Clinker, by Comus. Macaroni the sire of Moccasin, 

 won the 3,000 guineas and the Derb}' in 1863 and is the sire of Spinaway, winner of 

 the 1,000 guineas and Oaks, Camelia winner of the 1,000 guineas, and of Macheath the 

 best two-year-old in England this year, 1883, and now favorite for the Derby. Sweet- 

 meat, Macaroni's sire, was by Gladiateur second to Bay Middleton in the Derby. 

 Sweetmeat was a noted race-horse, ran twenty-four times as a two and three-year-old, 

 and met but one defeat, he won the Doncaster Cup and other important events. Moc- 

 casin has a double cross of that popular blood Pantaloon, which is famous for speed 

 and staying qualities, and is a true racing strain. Pantaloon's son Van Amberg was 

 second to Coronation in the Derby, and Sitirist, another son, won the St. Leger, beat- 

 ing Coronation; he is sire of Ghuznee winner of the Oaks and of Cardinal Puff, El- 

 thiron, Hobbie Noble, The Riever, second to West Australian in the St. Leger, 

 Hernandez, winner of the 3,000 guineas, and of Windhound, the sire of Thormanby. 

 Leamington was out of a daughter of Pantaloon. King Tom the sire of his dam is 

 too well known to need comment, suflBcient to say he was by Harkaway out of 

 Pochahontas. the dam of Stockwell and Rataplan, by Glencoe. His grandam is by 

 Melbourne, sire of West Australian, winner of the double events, Derby and St. Leger, 

 Blink Bonny winner of the Oaks and Derby, and the dam of Blair Athol winner 

 of the Derby and St. Leger, Sir Tatton Sykes winner of the St. Leger, Cymba 

 and Marchioness winner of the Oaks. The Melbourns areremarkble for size, sub- 

 stance and soundness, large bone and racing shape. Moccasin never raced, but from 

 his colts, all out of mares the refuse of his owner, has sired some very reputable 

 performers. Vampire and Faith won six races out of twenty-four starts in 1881. 

 Vampire three, carried 140 lbs., and ran a mile 1:46^. The two-year-old P. Lorillard, 

 has won four races out of seven starts this year, 1883. Amazon, and Disdain are 

 both creditable performers. Disdain won Optional stakes. He is a dark bayor 

 brown with great substance and power, fine temper and full 16 hands high. He 

 should be invaluable to perpetuate the King Tom strain of blood through the de- 

 scendents of Phaeton, King] Ban and Great Tom.
