l VOLCANO was got by Stockholder, his dam, the famous little mare Forest Maid l by Ratray, of whom Mir. J. c. Beasley said, she was the best nag of her size he had ever seen, and that she was'' friend 10 poor man in strange county CT losing on all his other horses, he could with confidence, bet his last dollar on her whenever she started for four mile heat. 1 His grandam was ti4e 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- l ported Shark, g. g. g. dam by Rockingham, g. g. g. g. dam by Gallant, g. g. g. g.g dam by True Whig, g. g. g. g. g. g. dam by Regulus.

 Of Stockholder, FOLCANO'S sire, 1t IS unnecessary to say aught; he is too well known as racer and stallion, to require the prop of long pedigree. It may not be amiss, however. to state, that he was got by old sir arofy, and his dam by I'm ported Citizen, the best blood that Ameri- ca can boast. Ratray, the sire of Volca- nos dam, was by the imported horse Cliff Araminna, who was got by Brimmer out u Mf eytoh Rduuoith Celeordlcu 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 Cade, 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 ,and 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, R Eye, and Eledens Floretta; all winners of severe four mile races, con tending with the best horses of Virginia. Foretta made better time over the Wash ington course than was ever made before or since, beating. in three heals, Top G all lant, Oscar, First Consul, and another; running each heat under eight minutes, and the second heat in seven minutes and fifty-two seconds.
