The Thoi oughbred Horse Magilleathgean WILL stand in Ashbmtou and trave the surrounding districts this season. He is a bright brown or black horse, stands lb hands high, got by English Tim Whiffler, out of Flying Scud. Tim Whiffler was by Van Galen, out of Sybil, (by Ugly Buck, out of Sylph, by Titlia da-puta, Van Galen being by Van Tromp, out of Little Casino, by Inheritor, Flying Scud was a dark bay mare, bred in Victoria by Mr J. Harper in 1865, got by Fisherman, her dam being Jeanette by Little John, Whilhelmina by Romeo, Moss Rose by Emigrant, the Driver mare. (For extended pedigree see English and Australian stud books ) Tim Whiffler was scarcely ever beaten in England. The dam of this horse being by Fisherman shows his grand blood, as a study, of the stud book will show that Miuket’s great success has been from Australian bred mares, for the descendants of the gracdold Fisherman, viz., MartiniHenry, Nordenfelt, and Trenton, are all descended from Fisherman on the dams side.
