l VOLCANO was got by Stoekholder, his dam, the famous little mare Forest Maid by Ratray, of whom Mr. j. C. Beasley said, she was the best nag of her size he

 had ever seen, and that she wasss a friend

 to poor man in strange ntJy'-after l losing on all his other horses, he could, with confidence, bet his last dollar on her whenever she started for four mile heat.

 His grandam was the equally celebrated mare Maid ofthe- Oaks, by imported Spread Eagle, one of the best four mile nags Of her day in Virginia, his g. grandam, which

 was also the dam of Nancy Air, was by ln- ported Shark g. g. g. dam by Rocking nam,

 g. g. 2. g. dam 0y Gallant, g. g. g. g.g dam by True Whig, g. g. g. g. g.g. dam l by Reguus.

 Of Stockholder, VOLCANOES sire, 1t is unnecessary to say aught; Ire is too we'll known as racer and stallion, to require l the prop of long pedigree. It may not be aniss, however, to state, that he was

 got by old sir Archy, and his dam by Inn ported Citizen, the best blood that Ameri-

 ca can boast. Ratray, the sire of Volea- nos dam, was by the imported horse Cliff den; his dam by Fitzpartner; his grandam

 Araminna, who was got by Brimmer out | of MT Peyton Randolph's celebrated

 mare Lovely Lass.

 Imported Spread Eagle, was got by Vol unteer, his lam by High Flyer, grandam by Engineer, out of the dam of Bay Nal t5n and Treasurer; she was got by Cade,

 out of the Lass of the Mill, by Old Ira.

 weller.

 Spread Eagle is unpopular with many

 sportsmen; but l would ask, what horse has

 better pedigree, ,and what imported horse

 has got as many capital racerss Ii is

 enough to say, that Spread Eagle was the sire of the Maid-of-the Oaks, Paragon, Ad-

 cline, R Eye, and Eleden's Floretta; all

 winners of severe four mile races, con-

 tending with the best horses of Virginia.

 Floretta made better time over the Wash ington course than was ever made before or since, beating. in three heats, Top Gal lant, Oscar, First Consul, and another; running each heat under eight minutes, and the second heat in seven minutes and fifty-two seconds.
