Moreover, Short Grass is almost unique inasmuch as the farm shelters three daughters of the well-bred Lochryan. The horse was leased for one year by Lord Rose-bery, but he has been buried in Ireland all his life.

Melissa, the dam of Ralm, was from Melusine, a half-sister to Royal Canopy. HOXEST LASS TltOM GOOD FAMILY.

It is a consistent winner-producing family, going back to Penitent, the dam of Ravens-bury, which won 0,000 and was inferior only to Isinglass, to which he ran second in the Two Thousand Guineas, the Derby and the St. Leger. Her dam, Stray Shot, produced a Derby winner in Shotover. Ripple was bred by King George. Her dam, Dimples, came from Wrinkles, a winner and producer, and a half-sister to Thrush, one of the speediest horses which ever raced in England. This is the same female line as The Tetrarch, Sweep and Peter Pan. It is worth mentioning that in England in recent seasons Lochryan mares have produced the Avinners of over 5,000. , These facts about the mares at the Short Grass stud are convincing proof of the care exercised in their selection. It is much to be icgretted that Emil Herz cannot reap the reward they are sure to bring their owners and so be repaid for. the acumen displayed when they were purchased.
