horses, ns oak compares with pine, or steel with 
iron. Blood tells for generations; and the best 
blood among the thorough-breds is of course

of some of the best of Mr. R. W. Cameron's 
horses. Clifton Stud Farm, Staten Island, has 
been for several years famous for thorough-bred

known, both here and in Europe, that it is only 
necessary to state that he is a very powerful, dark 
brown horse, 1GJ- bands high. He was got by 
Foig-a-Ballagh, out of a Pantaloon mare. Foig- 
a-Ballagh was full brother of Irish Birdcatcher, 
and all the family are famed race-horses. Leam- 
ington was imported by Mr. Cameron in 18GG,

Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia, for $15,000. He 
stands at Patterson, N. J., this season, at $200.

His get in this country are already famous: 
Lynchburg and Enquirer, in Kentucky; Miss 
Alice and Anna Mase, here, established his su- 
periority. Lynchburg was sold for $5,000, and 
this price was refused for Enquirer. $7,000 
was offered and refused for Miss Alice after her 
famous match last year, but both she and Anna 
Mase were unfortunately killed by accidents. 
The stallions Gleunevis and "Warminster, and 
the mare Rebecca, are descrihed on page 206.
