Caractacus (win er of the Derby in 1862), got by Kingston—Defenceless, by Defence. Sec- stud book for full pedigree.

Cassivelanus is a bright bay, with black points, standing oyer 16 hands, and showing immense power and great quality. As a two-year-old he won two races at Newmarket, beating large fields. Garactacus is now the most fashionable as well as the most desirable representation of the Venison blood Kings’on was in every respect bred to stay. His sire, Venison, proved himself a horse of undeniable stoutness, and it is worthy of remark that during his career as a three-year-old he travelled on foot his circuit, which the more modern wonders (Fisherman and Rataplan) accomplished by rail. It is stated upon reliable authority that Venison walked upwards of 900 miles, ran fourteen and won twelve times in his three-year-old racing season. . . . Garactacus is in every way most worthy the notice of breeders who fancy the Venison and Defence blood (and who could object to the latter especially 1) more particularly as he—as well as bearing a marked resemblance to his handsome son in other respects—has a good temper, . . . He is one of the large stamp, but, like his sire, A nice-sized, level mads horse, with plenty of quality and racing points, and moat likely to get racehorses.”— Copperihioaite’s Sires of the Present Day. !-iire of various winners and first favorites for the forthcoming New Zealand and Canterbury Cup—Envious, Fair Agnes colt ; also, sire to Encore, late winner of the; i unedin Tally-Ho Steeplechase, Miss King filly, and others too numerous to particularise.
