COS Waxy, was not only winner OF the Der
| by, but FIRST as a RUNNER and STALLION IN
lis day. Felt, at years old, won races out
| of9 starts, being beat SHORT distances and
! winning the extraordinary number OF FIVE
CUPS which do not remember to have been
done BY any other horse-he beat many capl-
! tai runners, among them Bolivar, RobinHood,
Clotiida, Frederick, (winner of the Derby,)
Stoforth, Retriever, Lawnsleeves, Persever-
ance, DR.. Faustlls, (21 times WINERY Has
| ton, (22 times WINERY Terror, II times win

To very many CT these horses he gave weight
won at fashionable courses, and generally
made play, relying on his great stoutness and
game"
Extracts from, authentic English Regis
tiers and other Sourcess
"Felt started this year 9 times, and won =
| important races, Of which were Gold Cups,
and ran second in the Sth race, being beat by
head, and beating the winner three or four
times on other occasions. He won in cups
and stakes $sl5, 900, and lost in all his racing
career only four times. A most extraordina-
ry and splendid performance, especially when
il is considered that he frequently carried hea-
Wy extra weight"
The following strong evidence of his high
character, is taken from the Sporting Maya
zine for 1886:
"Having this year recruited his stable with
Lord Worcester's Felt, his Lordship has been
gallant winner-having with this horse car
ried off beth the great Tradesmen's Cups at
Chester and Liverpool and Cup or two
elsewhere / wish he had another nag or two
in his stable like, Telt'' ''That Felt is first
rate one, will not, l fancy, be denied by any
one PIP. Sc, 255.-HE BEAT MORE THAN
300 HORSES I"
ssFelt's career on the turf was so BRILLIANT
in ENGLAND, that it caused his sire, Hangar,
Ga capital mile horse to be brought from
Ireland to England, where he is now one of
their BEST and MOST POPULAR STATIONS.
The last season be had "a winning colts, that
won So races, and among them was Elis,per-
haps the best colt of his year, who won the
great st. Leger and many other races. Lam
gar is now covering mares by subscription at
about ssI25, and making full seasons too.
Felt is very like his sire in form, action and
marks, but is a good bay, while Hangar is a
chestnut. Hangar is descended frem the same
stock as Priam, they being out Of half sisters.
Felt covered last year about 100 mares at $3.50
season and 800 to insure, among them the
celebrated Clara Fisher, Lady Lagrange, Gray
Girl, imported Primula, imported Zillah, i'm
ported Schemer, full sister to Ohio and many
other fine mares.''
ask it to be borne in mind, that the colts
Of all the horses which we have imported, that
are old enough and have been tried fairly, are
winners, and many of them capital winners in
England, as Chateau Margaux, Luzborough,
and Flexible. / will also call the attention of
breeders to the running of the colts of such
imported horses as have them old enough to
run, and they will see them winning all over
the United States, -under every disadvantage.
see that the only FLY of Chateau Margaux,
that has run in America, beat at three heats
with very great ease Vertumnus by Eclipse,
and Hebe by Gonanna and Sally jenkins, over
the Charleston course, winning the two last
heats hard in hand in the excellent time of 3
m. so 8. m. 81 g. Can breeders Of the blood
horseyany longer doubt the superiority ofthe
thoroughbred and first rate English horse.

is goed,) over the native Stallion' Let facts
speak, and Judgment direct them.
