pEpIGREEs OF THE FAST HORSES.
In answer to many inquiries we give
the pedgrees of the nags which appeared
in the exciting race on Saturday last.
We copy from the Sacramento Record:
TRUE Blue,
The Eastern horse, ia a blood bay, fifteen
hands one and half inches high. True
Rlue comes of a celebrated racing family.
His dam, Balloon, was very fine racing
mare at all distances. Revolver, o fnc
race horse, her first colt, is now owned
by D. J. Cruise, Of Ohio, and promises to
make successful stallion. The Ban
shee. own sister to True Blue, was con-
sidered the finest mare in Colonel O'Fal-
Ions stable, and is said to have run
mile trial at Saratoga in 141H. The
next produce was True Blue. Heraldy,
the granddam of True Blue, is by Herald,
tbe son of the great English Plenipoten-
tiarv, ont of the imported Delphine by
Whisker. He ran second to Peytona in
the great Peyton stake in Nashville in
1S43 She has produced Balloon, Pary-
chute, Sailor, Goddard and others. The

imported Priam, son Of English Emilus.
She was the dam of Heraldy, Minnie
Wood, Wade Hampton. Star Davis,
Anandale, Captain Travis, Yorktown and
George Wood, nearly all of which were
winners at all distances. 1t will be seen
by this that True Blue is descended from
the best racing families in America. His
sire, Lexington, is acknowledged as tho
king of sires and the monarch of race
horses on the American continent.
True Blue has run as q 3-year old
twice, and many times since. At Sara
