Gentlemen are invited TO examine Felt's history
in The American Turf Register, vol. z, PIP. 298, from
which the following extracts are made:
"FELT, foaled in 1896, was by Hangar, Ia
frst-rate runner all distances, and now a favorite
stallion, his dam, Steam, (dam, also, of Fang who
sold for near $25 900, Famine, Flame, Flea, Foam,
and others own sister to Starch by Waxy Pope

tances, and the dam also Of Starch, Steel. and sew
eral other excellent racers was got by Shuttle out
Of Drone mare, 1.-the dam of Staveley, the winner
Of the great St. Leger, Sligo, barefoot, and other
winners, 1-Langar was by Selim, brother to Cas-
trel and Reubens1 dam by Walton-Young Clan
tess, the best brood mare of her day, the dam of
Sorcerer, Eleanor, Julia, Lydia, Cressida, dam of
Priam, &c by Diomed-Giantess by Matchem.
Hangar is nearly the same blood with the celebrated
Sultan [now covering at $3.50, being got by the
same horses, their dams by own brothers. Hangar,
is the sire Of several frst-rates. Eleanor, the best
mare Of her day, and the only winner of both Der
by and Oaks, dam of Muey, g. d. a Luzborough,
Margraye and Leviathan. Waxy Pope was by
Waxy his dam, Prunella, [dam, also of Penelope,
Parasol, Pelisse, Podargus, Pioneer, Pledge, Pawn,
Piquet, Prudence, Pope Joan, all erceaent] by
HlghAyer; Waxy Pope, called also Lord Stgo's
Waxy, was not only winner of the Derby, but FIRST
as a runner and stallion in his day. FELT, al four
years old, won svcen races out of nine starts, being
beat short distances, and winning the extraordinary
number Of fire CUPS, which | do not recollect to
have been done by any other h%orse--ie beat many
capital runners, among them, Bolivar, Robin Hood,
