ed a poor bargain at fifty guineas: and The Godolphin, whose progeny have won millions of pounds, was rescued in Paris for a few sovereigns from the shafts of a water-cart.

he passed the post for the last time; Flying Fox enriched his owners to the extent of £40,000; Ayrshire won £35,000; Persimmon £34,726; La Fleche, £34,585; Orme and St. Frus- quin, nearly £33,000 each; Surefoot,;; £32,278; Gladiator, 31,105; and Diamond Jubilee and Ormonde £57,600 between them..
Here, then, we have a dozen horses, including Isinglass, who collectively won in stekes alone a sum exceeding £444,000 representing an average of over £37,000 apiece. Nor do these figures by any means represent the full value of these equine "gold- mines," for Flying Fox, after his racing days were over, was sold to M. Blanc for £39,375; Ormonde, after being bought for £12,000 by Senor Bocan; wis resold by hìm ta Mr. McDonough for £31,250; and La Flêche fercned 12,600 guineas as a brood mare.
“To these guns should be added the amounts won by their sons and daughters and later progeny, if we are to ascertain their full potential value.
Take St. Simon, for instance, In eleven seasons his sons and daughters. won something like a quarter of a million in stakes. At the stud and after a distinguished Turf career, Blacklock sired no fewer than 123 winners, who secured stakes to" the value of £45,000; Hambletónian, who won the St. Leger and pinsteen other races, was aire of 144 winners of £38,100; and he was one of 109 sons and daughters of King Fergus who enriched their owners by £30,000 in days when money prizes wes trivial indeed; while Canezon and her sons, Paletof, Fazzaletto,' and Cape Flyaway, captured no less than £24,780 among them.
In seven years Isonamy's progeny accumulated £155,538; Hampton's, £120,440 and Galopin's, £124,023; while Hermit's, some years ago, had won considerably over £350,000:
It is thus not surprising that many owners of racehorses reap fich har vests on the Turf Lord Falmouth had a Turf career of unexampled prosperity, winning no less than £300,000 în stakes:-
