MANDY HAMILTON BRED TO STAY. I see that a three-year-old daughter of John o Gaunt named Mandy Hamilton has brought off a 14 to 1 chance at Lexington in thi- Ashland Oaks, boating fourteen others in easy style at the finish. Her time for the mile. 1:41%, was almost a record for the race since it was reduced to that distance in 1K90. Mandy Hamilton was bred in Ireland by Mr. F. W. Dunn, and was bought as a yearling at the Doncaster Sales for 185 guineas by Mr. P. T. Chinn. Her dam. My Sweetheart, is by Galeazzo out of Lady Chancellor, by Bona Vista. It is no wonder that Mandy Hamilton only came out at the finish of the race, for she is bred to stay on both sides, and one of Lady Chancellors sous. Challncomhe. won the Duneaster St. Leger. The family is quite an outside one. No. 32, but it produced a French St. baM winner in the "seventies" in the shape of Coinmunitaiit. ami good horses in this country before them in Fitz Gladiator.
