Royalty by Kingcraft, son of King Tom, bred by Mr. Barue, foaled 1878, dam 

 Rose, dam of Gaston by Oulston, son of Melbourne and the great Alice Hawthorn, 

 out of Anemone by Tadmor, winner of the Column Stakes, Rowley mile at 

 Newmarket Craven Meeting ; the Gratwicke Produce Stakes, 1\ miles, at 

 Goodwood, and third to Flying Dutchman in the Derby, son of Ion, winner of the 

 Clearwell and other Stakes, and second in the Derby to Amato, beating Grey Momus, 

 and second in the Doncaster St. Leger to Don John, beating Lanercost and others, he 

 was also sire of Wild Dayrell, winner of the Derby. Kingcraft, his sire, is a son of 

 King Tom, and is own brother to Great Tom ; Kingcraft won the Derby and is now 

 coming prominently to the front as a sire, the best of his get so far are Strathblane, 

 Leap Tear, Royal, Apollo, Cabul and King Shepherd ; Oulston, the sire of his dam, 

 and son of Melbourne, was a capital good horse, and would have shown much better 

 but for distemper at the critical moment, so highly was he esteemed, that he sold for 

 $30,000, Royalty never run in public, but he is a highly bred horse, full of racing 

 strains, and traces to Eclipse, through his most famous descendants Whisker, Whale- 

 bone, King Fergus, Orville, Blacklook, Joe Andrews, Mercury, &c., to Herod through 

 Highflyer, Woodpecker and Walton, and thence through Oriental sources to the 

 famous old Vintner Mare. He ought to make a good sire.
