Tim Whiffler was scarcely ever beaten and has won as many cups and handicaps as any other horse m England. He won the Chester Cup, and ran a dead heat ,vith Buckstone tor the Ascot Cap. Buckstone was another grand horse, and was famous no only for his dead heat c ran with Tim Whiffler for the Ascot C'dn but also for his match against the Earl of Glasgow's Knowsley for 500 guineas aiiide, which he won m a canter. Tim Whiffler was the sire of Briseis, who wor. the Melbourne Cup and.Derby, and the dam of Macilleathean being by Fisherman j shows his grand strain of blood, as a 1 study of the Stud Book will show that Musket's grea success has been from Australian bred mares; for the descend ants of the grand old Fisherman, viz., Martini-Henry, Nordenfeldt and Trenton are all descended from Fisherman on the dam's side Season money due on January st, 1891 \ guarantee money due on July 1 1891.
