An extraordinary freak of nature, Thursday reported in one of the London sport
ing journals, may prove interesting
to a section of our readers:--
Breakwater, the dam of John Friday
Davis, and the property of the Mar
den Deer Park Stud, Caterham, | Thursday.
Surrey, fouled a chesnut filly on the
say
25th inst. to Hermit, and the follow- ing letter has been received from Mr. Walker, V.S., of Rugby, the owner of John Davis, "Breakwater foaled a very fine chesnut filly last night, but strange to it has only got one eye. There is not the slightest ves- tige of an eye on the off side; the near one is rather smaller than usual, but I think it can see. It is an ex- traordinary freak of nature; I never saw one like it before. The foal appears perfectly healthy in other respects, and sucks all right."
