PowHATTAN by imp. Leamington, son of .Paugh-a-Ballagh, bred by Mr. A. Welch, 

 Erdenheim Stud, Pa., foaled 1879, dam Maiden, dam of Parole by Lexington, son 

 ■of Boston, out of Kitty, Clark by imp. G-lencoe. Powhattau started in only one 

 public race, that at Long Branch, meeting with an accident he was unplaced. He 

 was considered quite promising, and ran a very fast trial at Jerome Park, in the 

 spring. Leamington, his sire, can be found in this Vol. Parole, his own brother, 

 has been one of the noted popular favorites of the Turf. After racing in his three, 

 four and five-year old form in this country, he was sent to England, and won the 

 Newmarket Handicap, last 1^ miles of the Beacon Course, beating the great Isonomy, 

 Lina and three others. He won the City and Suburban handicap, IJ miles, 119 lbs., 

 beating Rdiotto, Cradle and fifteen others, and the great Metropolitan Stakes 

 (handicap), 3i miles, 134 lbs., beating Castlereagh ; the Great Cheshire Handicap 

 Stakes, IJ miles, carrying 134 lbs., defeating Reefer, Sir Joseph, Ridotto and four 

 others, and also won the Epsom Gold Cup, 14 miles, 135 lbs., beating Alchemist and 

 Primrose. The family has always been a successful racing one. Maiden, his dam, 

 won the Travers Stakes at Saratoga ; the grandam and great grandam were all winners, 

 «,nd from the stock have come such horses as Mary Morris, Wild Irishman, Frankfort, 

 Falsetto, Felicia, Fortuna, Sumpter, Childers, Rattler, Ringgold, Flirtilla, Mary 

 Wynn, Tom Kimball, Cassandra, The Countess, Turco, John Bascomb, Helen Mar, 

 Ann Merry, Tiger, Ann Innis, Hebron, Meteor, George Kinney, and in the early 

 days of racing. Old Slamerkin. Then on the score of blood and racing lineage, 

 Powhattan should commend himself to the public. Powhattan is a solid bay, with 

 large star, left fore and right hind ankles white, his head is bony and expressive, 

 with large, full eyes, high at the withers like his noted brother, good barrel, great 

 depth of girth, with good loin and fine coupling, and has the Lexington hind leg ; he 

 is 161 hands high : whilst he has not the racing record of his great brother, he is a 

 Leamington from a racing family on both sides, and as all the Leamington's are 

 successes in the stud, he should be. Flying Childers electrified the world by his 

 brilliant racing career, but his brother, Bartlet's Childers, excelled him in the stud, as 

 also did Cade, his famous racing brother, Lath. Powhattan is much inbred to Sir 

 Archy and Diomed, and traces back without a flaw, through Amaranthus dam to the 

 Layton Barb Mare.
