lows from Ellerslie: Il am breeding some
Of my finest mares to MOntfort, son Of
Imp. Mortemer and Revolt, by Lexing-
ton Miss Grace, sister Of DiablO by
Eolus, has a fine bay FLY by him. and
If there is anything In blood lines she
ought 20 make a fourmile indeed. Miss
Cir &c is a granddaughter Of Fanny Wash
ington, the best fOuT-mle mare Of her
day, and Montfort a grandson of Sue
Washington, full sister to Fanny Wash
ington, and nearly as good over a dis
tance of ground. The great grand dam
of Montfort and Miss Grace was Sarah
Washington, the best race mare OF her
day. With Eolus and Imp. Mortemer on
top, this ought to be a clinker. We must
break W winter racing in Virginia next
