The Thorougli-bred compares with other 
horses, as oak compares with pine, or steel with 
iron. Blood tells for generations; and the best 
blood among the thorough-breds is of course 
very valuable. We give above, striking pictures 
of some of the best of Mr. R. W. Cameron’s 
horses. Clifton Stud Farm, Staten Island, lias 
been for several years famous for thorough-bred 
stock of several kinds—Shorthorns and Jerseys, 
Berkshires and Dorkings—besides its stud of 
mares, stallions, and young horses.— Leamington , 
the horse on the lower left-hand side, is regard¬ 
ed as the handsomest model for a race-horse in 
this country if not in the world. He is so well 
known, both here and in Europe, that it is only 
necessary to state that he is a very powerful, dark 
brown horse, lGlr hands high. He was got bjr 
Foig-a-BaUagh, 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 1866, 
and was sold last autumn to Mr. A. Welch, of 
Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia, for $15,000. He 
stands at Patterson, N. J., this season, at $200. 
This horse (in England) twice won the Ches¬ 
ter Cup, 2 h miles, carrying the heaviest weights, 
and beating in one race 37, and in the second, 
41 horses. He also won the Goodwood Stakes, 
and was considered the best horse of his day. 
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 Glennevis and Warminster, and 
the mare Rebecca, are described on page 206.
