November. Eolus. the brown son of i'm
ported bennington and Fanny Washing
ton, daughter OF Revenue, Is we'll pre-
served and vigorous. He was foaled in
1868, and purchased by Captain Han
cock I'm 1877. and since then the stallion
has been kept for stud duty at Ellersle.
At no time during his career has Eolus
served more than thlrty-two mares In
one year. During his present ownership
he has probably averaged about twenty
five mares a season, and hereafter his
powers will be still more carefully
guarded. Next spring he will be allowed
only fifteen mares. his service fee has
been placed at 500, and his book Is
about filled. Imported Charaxus. the Sec
ond stallion at Ellerslie, a bay. with
silver name and tail. is a horse Of high
quality and finish, though not lacking
substance. Charaxus was got by Dlston,
son Of Trumpator, dam Sappho, by Kings

she out Of Virginia, by Rowton. Kingston

Charaxus, like EOlus, mas never peeh
overtaxed with stud duties, ana enjoys
the best Of health. He was foaled IN
1876 and during a career or seven sea-
sons on the English turf commencing
as a two-year-old, he distinguished MIN
self by winning hign-class events AS
a sire. he has proven very successful
with limited opportunities, and his fame
increases each year. Al lee OIL S-'
his book readily fills.
While Eolus and Charaxus have es-
tablished regulations, they do not over
shadow Eon. the seven-year-old pay son
of Eolus. and the noted War Song ana
consequently a full brother to the great
