gay, very superior action and power, strong

and appearance, except perhaps Fyide's colts:
indeed, for size, colour, game and stoutness,
his colts are nearly all unequalled. He has
had three colts to start in America-aN are
winners, and some of them several times of
their runnings and winnings in Ireland and
England, cannot say enough last year his
colts won 9 out of .6 Kings Plates in Irelands

get of Sir Hercules, P riam, Velocipede, Emil

other stations nearly of Ireland and England
