ton Barb, Regulus. never beat, and the
best son of the Godolphin Arabian, &c,
were all stations of the very first charac-
ter. All the crosses mentioned in Flexi.
be's pedigree were horses equal to any of
their time, if not the very best. Camilla,
the dam Of Young Camilla, Colbri, Ca
Uterine, Sophia, Humming Bird. (the g.
grand dam Of Flexible,) Jerboa, was
most valuable ard famous brood mare, s.
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 a brood
mare in the stud ofthe King Of Prussia.
