Stockwell, by The Baron—Pocahontas, by Glencoe. The Baron, by Irish Birdoatcher—Echidna, by Economist, Whether for racing or general purposes, CRAWFOKD PRIORY'S breeding cannot be excelled, as his pedigree contains the names of most of the greatest stud successes known to fame. Riddlesworth was by Emilius, and any of his descendants are highly esteemed, and justly so, their genuineness being universally admitted. CRAWFORD PRIORY'S, dam Poradventure, through her 3ire Adventurer, is a great., granddaughter of Emilius, whilst Maniac, theg.g.g.damof Peradvonture, was Riddlesworths granddam. Manganese won the 1000 guineis, and is the granddam of Apology, winner of the Great St. Leger, better known as "The Parson's Mire," aod Agility, another celebrity. When the leading lines of a pedigree are occupied bv such sireß as Newminster-the sire of Hermit, through the success of his stock styled " The sire of thiAge"—Adventurer,Orlando, Touchstone, Stockwell, The Baron, Irish Rirdcatcher; and on the dam's side givei Manganese, Moonbeam, Palma, Francesca, Beeswing, Lady Mary, Splitvote, Pocahontas, and Echidna, the question to determlwe is, could there possibly be a grander combination of all that time has over and over again proved to be excellent, than the breeding of the subject of this notice.

Conjectura recently at Adelaide ran second for the £2,000 Oup, beating everything opposed to her but Malta. Sba afterwards at auction realised a thoußactf guineas, Guesswork going to the same purchaser for eleven hundred guineas. Peradventure's four foals by Gang Forward were sold for two thousand six hundred and thirty guineas, an average of over six hundred and fifty guineas each which would havo been largely increased Ind not Crawford Priory been withdrawn from competition according to arrangement after the first bid, and it should be remembered that these prices were obtained in one of the Australian colonieß where the money invest ..! in thoroughbred horses can be counted b; hundreds of thousands sterling, Owing to an_ accident when a yearling, Crawford Priory was uot trained. Ho was used for one season as a sire, and his stock promise well.
