(By Telegraph.) (Special to "The Evening Post.")
PALMERSTON N., This Day.
Like all other good horses, the pedigree of Peter Pan, this year's winner of the Melbourne Cup, presents certain welldefined factors on his dam's side, and it | is interesting to find that,the Dominion had some share in the production of yet another, outstanding animal. Peter Pan's granddhm, Formaliter, was bred in 1911 by. Mrs. W. W. Johnston, of "Highden," Ealnierston North, when that 'property was; the home of mariy I splendid: performers. She was. by tliat little bay horse Bonifonn out of a very heavy-shouldered chestnut- ; mare, Waiter rnata. Waitemata was" by Eiridspord; who was "by Isonpmy "out of a Musket mare.. It: was ■considered at; the'; time that the ideal mate' would have been Multiform,1 jalmo'stiall of whose r brilliant offspring were inbred to thelSfo. 12 family," of which Isonomy's' feire,', Sterling, and .his. graiidleire, Oxford, we're conspicuous',stud.'sue:cess_esf '-■'. However, '.Multiform "was ,'.upt (available,, so Boniform, his .unbeaten son, was selected as the mate for Waitematai and after two generations Peter Pan appeared. It ,was another , case of a mare of high breeding5 and inbred' to a family laying the foundation of a champion. •
