j Derby, and 10 other races, at all disian-
ces, being capital four mile horse, was
own brother TO Wbisker, winner of the
Derby and several othe. capital runners,
and was inferior 10 no horse OF modern
times as stallion, being sire of Chateaux

day, Camel, Spaniel, winner of the Der

Johanna was the best A mile horse of his
time, and as a stallion was equal 10 any
horse they have had in England, at any
time. w oodpecker, Trentham, the Comp
ton Barb, Regulus, never beat, and the
best son of the Godolphin Arabian, &C.,
were all stations of the very first charac-
tier. All the crosses mentioned in FleXl-
ble's pedigree were horses equal TO any OF
their time, if not the very best. Camilla,
the dam of Young Camilla, Colibri, Ca
Uterine, Sophia, Humming Bird, Qhe g.
most valuable ard famous brood mare, &
her descendants have won as much and
acquired as high standingas any family Of
horses in the Kingdom. In fact, Flexible
is as we'll bred as any horse in the world,
both for speed and stoutness, all his an
cestors being equal to any of their time,
without single inferior cross. 1t would
be hard to point out another pedigree as
pure and rich as this is. Flexible's dam
was also the dam Of Evergreen, Tough
stick, Anna, &C., and is now brood
mare in the stud of the King Of Prussia.
