VOLCANO was got by Stockholdef, lis 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 was ss a friend to poor man in strange country alter losing on all his other horses, he could, with confd dence, bet his last dollar on her whenever she started for four mile heat. His grandam was the equally celebrated mare Maid of the Oaks by inaporfedSpr ad Eagle, one of the best four mile nags of her day in Virginia, bis g. grandam, which was also the dam of Nancy Air, was by i'm ported Shark, g. g. 2. dam by Rockingham, g. 2. 2. g. dam by Gallant, g. g. g. g. dam by True Whig, g. g. g. g. g. g. dam by Regulus.

 Of Stockholder, VOLCANO'S sire, it is unnecessary to say aught; he is too well known as racer aud stallion, to require the prop of long pedigree. It may not be amiss, however, to state, that he was got by old sir Arehy, and his dam by Inn ported Citizen, the best blood that Ameri- ca can boast. Ratray, the sire of Volca- nos dam, was by the imported horse Cliff den; his dam by Fitzpartner; his grandam Araminna, who was got by Brimmer out of Mir Peyton RandoIph's celebrated mare Lovely Lass.

 Imported Spread Eagle, was got by Vol unteer, his dam by High Flyer, grandam by Engineer, out of the dam Of Bay Nal t5n and Treasurer; she was gotby 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 a better pedigree, and that imported horse has pof as many Canitat racers Ii is enough to say, that Spread Eagle was the sire of the Maid-of-the Oaks, Paragon, Ad- cline, Red 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 " asf- 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 fftY-two seconds.
