Of Alice Carneal the dam OF Lexington by Sarpedon-
From this it Will be that Annette is half sister TO
the celebrated Umpire, whom it is SAID Mr. Ten Brock

Thormanby Umpire who was by Lecompte, there
can be no doubt was a magnificent horse when in
dition to Annette found her way into
the stud Of Mr.. r. Drewitt a trainer at
whose death she was sold TO Sir Thomas Len
nard for the small of 110 guineas. Lady Moslyn
is the property of the widow of Mr. Drewitt, who,
