GaBsaale It and Collar Id. and farther back we get two crosses of St. Sinn a ami his sister of No. 11. Taking Rue Time you return the stout bleed through her -no. viz.. Isinglass and Isonomy li. also through Quiver, ToxophUlte, Musket, also the Agnes family H! through Martagoii. The St. Simon returns again through La Eleches sire. St. Simon 11. This mare has n successful tap-root. In Night Shadow we act Martagoii Id to that of Cellar and St. Simon through Florizel II.

The si ccessful No. ill family comes in through Inlas. d. in lUuminata, and the stout families of The Panther should combine n :i with that of six- pi nny. The selections appear to me to be mares that viuld return l l staying powers through Musket and the Agnes family, yet relieved with tin- st sin ■ a and Calopin blood to nick wilh those in that of The Panther.
