Fisher, Esq. Young Sir Colin is a dark bay; he is thoroughly staunoh in har ness, remarkably good tempered, with plenty of bone and muscle, and' good action, and has proved himself a sure foal getter, and has the following first-class pedigree:— His sire, Sir Coiin, was got by the famous horsa Samson, bred by A. Logan, Esq., Cross flats, Kilbarchan, out of his favourite mare Jess, which gained a first and second prize at the Highlands and Agricultural Society's Show at Perth and Berwick-on-Tweed, two first prizes at Maryhill, two first at Glasgow, and two first . at Paisley. Her sire Lofty gained the Glasgow premiums in 1856, and was afterwards sold to Air. Wilkie, Fifeshire, for £300. Samson has proved himself to be one of the best breeding horses in the West of Scotland; many of his stock including mares, have been sold for £200 each and upwards. Sir Colin's dam Jess, lately owned by Mr. Thomas Young, farmer, Loch end, and from her he bred four entires. He also bred four entires from Jess's dam Lilly; two of the entireß were bought by Mr. T. Clarke. Man suaes, who afterwards sold them at high figures to go to Australia. Jess's sire was the well known horse Old Sir Colin, which ri-^ver was beaten in Scotland ; he gained £30 at Glasgow, and the same year he gained £co at the High land Society's Show. Lilly's sire, Star, late the property of Mr. Clarke, gained the Highland Society's prize at Perth, and was afterwards sold to go to Australia. Sir Colin's sire, Sam son, was also the sire of Colonel Fleming's, of Kilkerra. mare, which gained a great number of prizes—being first as a yearling at Renfrew shire, Johnstone, Barrhead, Maryhill, and Glas gow ; as a two-year-old she was first at the same places ; as a three-year-old she gained first at Glasgow and Maryhill: and wh^n four years old she was first at Inverness. She Is dam to the best stallion in the kingdom—viz.. Mr. Riddel's celebrated horse, which was firtt iv 1869 at the All England Show at Manchester, and the Hiahland Society Show at Edinburgh. Sir Colin has gained first, prizes at all tne local showß as a yearling and as a two year-old, and gained the prize at Paisley as a tnree-year-old to travel hat district.
