, ! 1 1 1 I 1 j KINGSTONS UNNAMED BROTHER DIES. Though he lived to be within a few weeks of twenty-five years old. was a frequent winner on tlie race courses, and served for a considerable period in the stud, the thoroughbred stallion owned by Mr. .1. W. Barbour of Dovercourt road, which died this week at Allandale, never had a name other than the Kapanga Colt. The son of Spendthrift and Kapanaga was bought as a yearling by the late Dr. Andrew Smith, who owned him dur- ing his whole racing career. After retiring from the course the horse was in the stud at Thornellffe Farm, and then became the property of Messrs. Barbour. A brother to the famous Kingston, one of the greatest race liorses of his time, he did not live up to that relationship. "The little horse"— he was only 15.2 hands, though weighing over 1,130 pounds. — was a great favorite with Dr. Smith on account of his beautifully balanced conformation and even temper. He had few- thoroughbred pro-• genv. but his half breds are a good looking and useful tribe — Toronto Globe.
