VOLCANO was got by Stockbolder, his dam, the famous little mare Forest Maid by Ratray, of whom Mir. ]. c. Beasley said, she was the best nag of her size he had ever seen, and that she was ss. frien to poor man in strange country after losing on all his other horses, he could ], with confd ence, 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 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 im- ported Shark, g. g. g. dam by Rockingham, g g. g. 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 prep Of 8 long pedigree. It may not be amiss, however, to state, that he was got by old sir Archy, and his dam by Im- 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 Mr Peyton Randolph'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 ton and Treasurer; she was got by Gade, out of the Lass of the Mill, by Old Ira. weller.

 Spread Eagle is unpopular with many sportsmen; but would ask what horse has better pedigree ,aud what imported horse has got as many capital racers ? It 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 Wash ingtou course than was ever made before or since, beating in three heats, Top Gal lant, Oscar, First Consul, and another; running each neat under eight minutes, and the second heat in seven minutes and ifly-two seconds
