THE HIGHFLIERs-MOILIE MCCARTHY
is one Of the best bred race horses in
America, and by some is considered the
best. The stock from which she sprung
have all made records, and are set down
among the best. She was foaed in 1873
and sired by Monday, dam Hnnic Farrow.
Monday was a son of Cotton, and Mollie
Jackson by Yandal, and she was the recog-
nized queen Of the turf in her day, after
having made the best time in three mile
heat race on record at that time. Cotton
was get of the calculated Lexington, out
Of Topaz, by Glencoe. She was out of
Emerald, by Leviathan, and the latter was
the first Offering Of the well bred Eliza, by
Rubens, after her arrival in America. She
is an own brother to the great Castrel and
Selim, who both won renown on the turf,
and it is doubtful if any horse in the coun-
try can show
Alexander SCALE OF ANCESTRY
than can this celebrated queen of the west.
Every horseman can tell of some wonderful
feat performed by these well known horses,
Cotton, Mollie Jackson, Topaz, Glencoe,
Castrel Selim, Buzzard and others. The
pedigree of Hennie Farrow is one that can
be referred to as one of merit and speed in
the ring She was by Shamrock, and he is
said to be one Of the best bred horses ever
brought to America; her dam Ida, by imp.
Belshazzar, and she out Of Madam Bozley,
by Sir Richard Tonson, one of the famous
quartette of Tennessee brothers Monsieur
Tonson, Sir Richard Tonson, Sir Henry Ton
son and champion, two of which were
never beaten, and another lost only one
race. 1t is said that Madam Bozley is the
dam of more distinguished racers than any
other in the south, and among them were
Epsilon, Euchre, Gazelle, Voltiguer Gam
ma and Ellen Dale. From this long line
of ancestry, enough can be deduced to
show that she is from line of racers that
have gained reputation on the turf, and
THE BREEDING OF MOLLIE MCCARTHY,
unites all the strains so popular in modern
times, including Glencoe, Lexington, Le-
viathan, CRANKY, Shamrock, Vanda, Mar
grave and others, whose records show them
to be of the tieetest blood in the world. Hen
ME Farrsw was sold to California, after more
than an ordinarily successful career, at the
age of four. After she threw Molie Nc
earthly she foaled colt called Ralston who
as two year old beat Mollie's time but he
broke down and was shipped to Japan.
THE DESCRIPTIONS
that have been given of her are somewhat
overdrawn. She is beautiful brown ff-
teen and half hands high, muscular and
sinewy, and is said to be a counterpart of
her grand dam Mollie Jackson. She has
handsome neck and head, with blaze,
stripe running half way from the eyes to
the muzzle, and her shoulders are well in
clined and strong. Her general mske-upis
as perfect as could be desired. Her chief
characteristic is speed and capacity to en-
dure arduous work. She is the only animal
that has ever run on race track as many
times as she has and never been conquered,
and has run all distances ever set down in
a running programme.
HER HISTORY
on the track is a good one, and she is cred
tied with running one race as two-year
old, six as three, five as four, and one
this year as five year old
