122 Notes on tJie Thorovghhred Stallions Exhibited at the 
stands about 15 liands 2 inches, long and low, -with plenty of 
quality and substance, and as active as a cat. He is a charming 
horse, and though some may think him a little light in the 
barrel or long in the pasterns, he is, notwithstanding these 
supposed defects, just the sort of sire to get a hunter. Polardine 
is another little big one, but he unfortunately failed to qualify. 
Altogether there was a good display of horses, and amongst 
the bigger ones the most fastidious breeder might pick a sire to 
suit from such as Baldur, Bluegrass, Truefit, Gonnaught, Knight 
Templar, War Path, Even, and Lion ; whilst Gitij Arab, Omega, 
Peppermint, Suleiman, Polardine, and Pursebearer look just the 
sort to cross with the mares of the country.
