G-dam, Jess, by Lord Salisbury (1205 C.5.8., imp.), who was never beaten in th« •" , "" "-ig, either in Scotland or New -id.

By the above it will be seen that ORPHAN BOY is full of the very best blood Scotland ever produced He himself has taken a number of prizeß, being first as a three-year-old at Euroa, and first and champion as a four-year-old at the same place. He stood out as a five-year-old to let his stable mate win. ORPHAN BOY travelled this district last season, and proved himself highly successful with his mares.
