I\/TACILLEATHEAN is a handsome J-VJL dark brown or black horse, and stands 16 hands high. He.was got by the English Tim Whiffler out of, Flying Scud. Flying Scud was a dark bay mare, bred m Victoria by Mr J. Harper m 1865, and was got by Fisherman. Tim Whiffler was scarcely ever beaten, and has won as many cups and handicaps as any other horse m England. He wonj the Chester Cup, and ran a dead heat .vith Buckstoue for the Ascot Cap. Buckstone was another grand horse, and was famous not only for his dead heat he ran with Tim Whiffler for the Ascot C'dn but also for his match against the Earl of; Glasgow's Knowsley for 500 guineas Wde, which he won m a canter. Tim Whiffler was the sire of Briseis, who won the Melbourne Cup and Derby, and the 1 dam of Macilleathtian being by Fisherman shows his grand strain of blood,, as a study'of the Stud Book will show that: Musket's great success has been from Australian bred mares, for the descend ants of the grand old Fisherman, viz., Martini-Henry, Nordenfeldt arid Trenton are all descended from Fisherman on the dam's side Season money due on .January Ist, 1891 ; gaarantee money due on ,Tuly Ist, 1891.
