Garactacua (winder of the Derby in 1862), got by Kingston—Defenceless, by Defence. See stud book for full pedigree. . Caaaiyelanus is a bright bay, with black points, standing over 16 hands, and showing immense power and great quality. As a twp-year-old ha won two races at .Newmarket, beating large fields. Garactacua is now the most fashionable as: well' as the most desirable representation of the Veaisqn blood Kingston 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 bis 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 thrae-year-old racing season. . . . Garactacua 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. . . .
