VOLCANO was got by Stockholder, his dam, the famous little mare Forest Maid, by Ratray, of whom Mr. J. C. Beasley said, she was the best nag of her size he had ever seen, aud that she was ssa friend to poor man in strange country y''--after losing on all his other horses, he could, with confidence, bet his last dollar on her whenever she started for four mile heat. His grandam was the equally celebrated mare Maid of the Oaks, by imported Spread Eagle, one of the best four mile nags of her day in Virginia; his g. gram dam, which was also the dam of Nancy Air, was by imported Shark, g. g. grandam by Rockingham, 2. 2. 2. grandam by Gallant, Egg. 2. grandam by True Whig, 2. 2. 2. g. grandam by Regulus.
 OfStoekholder, NoLcANo's sire, it is unne4 cessary to say aught; he is too well known as racer and stallion, to require the prop of along pedigree. It may not be amiss, how ever, to state that he was got by old Sir Ar cny, and his dam by imported Citizen, the pest blood that America can boast Ratrav, the sire of Volcano's dam, was by the import ed horse Clfden, his dam by Fitzpartner, his cts got ny nli,rl- mer out of MT. Peyton Randolph's celebrated mare Lovely Lass.
 Imported Spread Eagle was got by Volun- teer, his dam by Highfyer, grandam by En- gineer, out of the dam of Bay Malton and Treasurer; she was got by Cade, out of the Lass of the Mill, by Old Traveller.
 Spread Eagle is Unpopular with many sportsmen, but would ask what horse has abetter pedigree, and what imported horse has got as many capital racers! It is enough to say, that Spread Eagle was the sire of the Maid of the Oaks, Paragon, Adeline, Red Eye, and Eleden's Floretta; all winners of severe four mile races, contepding with the nest horses of Virginia. Floretta mode bet ter tune over the Washington course than was ever made before or since, beating, in mree heofs, Top Gallant, Oscar, First Con- sai and another; running each heat under eagnt minutes, and tbe second hsat in seven sa'nufee and fifty two seconds.
