The Derby winners, Hermit, Doncaster, Cremorne and Kingcraft, had representatives in the Two Thousand Guineas, whilst to the Leger winner of 1869 belongs the honor of the paternity of the hero of the hour, Peregrine. Though previously Peregrine had never sported silk, strange to say, he has three times been under the hammer. Originally, as a foal, he was purchased by Mr Taylor Sharpe for 175gs, from whom Bobert Peck bought him for 450gs, and last autumn he was re-bought for 7Qogs. Possibly now j 7000gs would not purchase him. Suoh is the lottery of horseflesh and racing.
