VOLCANO was got by Stocghoidar, his dam, the famous little mare Forest ala1d by RatraY, Of whom Mr. J. c. Beasley said, she vas the best nag of her size he had ever ,. n, and that she vas ss a friend to poor man in strange country aft CT losing on all his other horses, he could with conlid dence, bet his last dollar on her whenever sine started for four mile heat. His grandam was the equally celebrated mare Maid -of-the-O Oaks by imported Spread Eagle, one ot the best four mile nags Of her day in Virginia, his g grandatn, which was also tine dam of Nancy Air, was by inn ported Shark, g. g. g. dam by Rockingham, g. g. g. 2. dam by Gallant, g. g s. g.g dam by True Whig, g. g. g. g. g. g. dam by Reguius.
 Of Stockholder, VOLCANOES sire, it is unnecessary to say aught; he is too we'll known as racer aud stallion, to require the prop of long pedigree. It may not be amiss, however. to state, that fle was got by old sir Archy, and his dam by Im- ported Citizen, the best blood that Ameri- ca can boast Ratray, the sire of Volca s.s,'s l 1T, y as by :se imported horse eis- den; his dam by Fitzpartner; his grandam Aramanna, who was got by Brimmer out ef .Hr Peyton Randolph's celebrated mare Lovely Lass.
 Imported spread Eagle, vas got by Vol Hhteer, his lam by High Flyer, grandam by Engineer, out of the dam of Bay Nal t5asand Treasurer; she was got by Cade, nuf of the Lass of tbe Mill, by Old Ira yelier.
 Spread Eagle is unpopular with many sportsmen: buf I would ask, what horse has better pedigree, ,and what imported horse has got as many capital racers It is enough to say, that Spread Eagle was the sire of the iiaid-of-the Oaks.
