In the same year, he carried off the Two Years Old Stakes, at

75 Action, by Scud, out of Diana, sister to Emily (the dam of Emilius), by 
. Stamford, her dam by Whisky, out of Gray Dorimant, by Dorimant, 
&c. He is a sure foal-getter, and the sire of General Chasse, The 
Stag, Burletta, Golden-drop, Miss Margaret, and many others 920 
This is a splendid animal, and gives the spectator a noble idea of the 
modern race-horse in his prime. It is worth travelling many a mile 
to study the contrast between him and The Colonel. The unwearied 
strength of the one and the speed as well as strength of the other are 
beautiful. What a noble animal would The Colonel have made, and 
how valuable would have been his progeny, had he been used only as a 
hunter ! 
Actseon was bought into the stud at the price of 1000 guineas. 
He is now the property of Baron Maltzahn.

Muscat. This horse has covered several mares this season 580 
77 The high-bred Bay Arabian of the purest caste, from the Imaum of Mus- 
cat. This horse has also had some mares this season 410 
Much fault has been found with these horses, and particularly with 
the bay horse, by some persons who are perfectly unable to judge of 
the matter. It has been said that they are not of the purest blood, and 
that the bay is a Barbary horse. One glance from the practised eye 
at the head and forehand of the black will leave no doubt in the mind. 
It is the most beautiful object of its kind that was ever seen. The bay, 
however, taking him altogether not so striking in his figure, was a 
stronger, and a speedier, and a better horse. The black, as the prices 
will shew, was the general favourite. The black horse was bought for 
the King of Wirtemburgh, and the bay one for the French Government.
