PEDIGREE.

VOLCANO was got by Stakeholder, his dam, the ia
nous little marc Forest Maid by Ratray, Of whom Mr.
j. c. Beasley sad she the best nag of her size he
had SEEM aud that she ssa friend poor
in strange ceuntryater losing all his other hor-
ses he COULD with confidence bet his last dollar her
whenever she started for four mile feat. His grandam
the equally celebrated mare Maid ofthe Oaks by
ported Spread Eagle of the best four mile nags of
her day in Virginia; hisg. grandam which also sle
dam OF Nancy Air, was by imported Shark e. g grandam
by Rockingham, G. g grandam by Gallant g. o. O.
grandam by True Wing, e. g. G. 6. 6. grandam by Re-
gulus.
OF Stakeholder, VoHoAaos SIRE it is unnecessary TO
say aught he is well known as racer and stallion
to require the prop of long pedigree. 1t may not be
amiss however, to state that he got by old Sir Ar
chy, and his dam by imported Citizen, the best blood
that America boast. Ratray, the sire of Voco,'
dam, was by the imported horse Citizen his dam BY Iz-
partner, his grandam Aramnna who was got by Brim-
mer out of Peyton Randophs celebrated mare Love-
ly Lass.
Imported Spread Eagle was got by Volunteer his dam
by Higkhyer grandam by Engineer, out of the dam OF
Bay Nation and Treasurer; she 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 better pedigree aud what
imported horse has got many capital racers? 1t is
snesg to say that Spread Eagle was the sire of the
Maid of the Oaks, Paragon, Adeline, Red Eve, and
Eledens Foretta; all winners of severe four mile races
eontendng with the best horses of Virginia. Foretta
made better time over the Washington course than was
ever made before since, beating, in three heats Top
Gallant Oscar First Consul and another running each
heat under eight minutes, and the second heat in
minutes and fifty two seconds.
