AUGUST BELMONTS YOUNG THOROUGHBREDS AT NURSERY STUD. Dame Beauty Is the name selected by August Belmont for the yearling sister to Beldame. After the arrival of Dame Beauty, Bella Donna was bred back to Octagon, but she missed, so there was no foal out of the celebrated daughter of Hermit and Bonnie Doon at Nursery Stud last spring. But another full sister or brother to Beldame is expected next spring, for the mare was sent back to Octagon again. Neither is there a foaj out of Belinda, the dam of Blandy for she slipped a filly by Octagon. Bivouac Is the last living foal of this daughter of Kingfisher and Bellona. She is the foal of 1903.

This makes twenty-eight foals lost out of a possible sixty-four, a heavy percentage,- to be sure, but that is part of the risk that the breeder takes.
