 Vol; geur. In 1876 and '77, he was in retirement. In 1878, he came out in poor hands, 

 ran econd in one race and unplaced in seven. In 1879, started in 21 races, all over 

 timber, won four, was second in three, third in five, and unplaced in the others. He

 Bagdad, and Ventriloquist, all of them winners in good company. The family is a 

 famous racing one on both sides. On the sire's side belong Lexington, Vandal, Mon- 

 archist, Volturno, Ruric, Alaric, Luke Blackburn, Hindoo, Monitor, and others of the 

 best horses of the American turf. On the side of his dam the family is perhaps equally 

 famous, such horses as Doubloon, Florin, Louis d'Or, the best horses of their day, as 

 also Quartermaster, Vagrant and Bounce. Ventilator is a dark chestnut, with a small 

 leaf-shaped star in the forehead, 15J hands high, but very stout, well shaped and 

 muscular. He weighs 1,055 lbs. He will get race-horses with afair chance.
