his dam was Bias Blue, by >tackwell. out Of
vexation, by Tombstone, so that the horse
was closely related 20 the Whalebone fam
Iy. He made his debuf at Ascot as a two
year-old, winning the Summer Hill stakes,
half a mile, in which he defeated a field CT
ten. In all he started six times that year,
and won three times, closing his "baby
year" By winning the Clearwell stskes at
Doncaster. At this tue SIR Joseph
Hswley had also Rosicrucian aud Green
Sleeves, and was OF opinion that either Of
the three was capable OF winning the Der
by. Ia the Champagne stakes at Doncas'er
Blue COVE passed the winning post first,
but was disqualified. as his Jockey, Wells,
played trick on the clerk OF the scales,
who passed him as all right. il so hap

Blue Gown was disqualified, and there was
great excitement in consequence for some
time afterward.
The colts performance, however. was so
good that he was great public favoriie for
the Derby Of 1868, the year that brought 50
much disaster 10 the iQuis OF Hastings.
The latter had The tillg Lady Elizabeth in
the race, aud the Marquis and his friends
declared so heavily upon her chances that
she took precedence in the betting. When
a two.year.old she had not been beaten. In
the race, for which there were nineteen
siaIsers, and among them Sir Joseph's two
other horses, Rosicrucian and Green
Sleeves, Sir Joseph declared 10 win with
either Of them, as be thought both superior
TO Blue Gown. This, however, did not
affect the outside public, which remained
true 10 the fortunes OF Blue Gown, in
remembrance Of his Doncaster perform
ance. Toe result was tina, he won in a
clnter, and Sir Joseph, who had backed his
other horses, lost money on the race, while
the Marquis OF Hastings was ruined. After
this Blue Gown won the gold cup at Ascot
and other events, taking eight out OF eleven
races. Like Buccaneer and other good
horses, after short but brilliant career QOr

from whence he was purchased by Mr..

board the Victoria belonging to Mr. keene,
and as far as cOnld be ascertained they were
