The great, point in horse-breeding is to have a siro connected with "good families of undoubted character. In the ouo caso the stock will bo uniformly good, while in the other caso individuals may surpass, but the general character of the stock will bo inferior and disappointing, Nothings inoro griovous to a breeder than to see weeds Bpring from a goodlooking siro.
