From thia history breedors willrecogniso that they liavo in Avon not only a horso of good parts, but an Entire of good lineage, a matter altogether different to a gooil-|ppkini{ liorsp. The great point In horse-breeding is to have a, sire connected with good families of undoubted character, In the ono caso the stock will bo uniformly good, while in tho other caso individuals may surpass, but the general character of tho stock will bo inferior and disappointing.
