That Invaderis bred in the purple and carries inf his veins the best blood ever to race in the world, one has no doubt onstudying the above pedigree. Live Wire was the fastest dog of day, and although racing up to his fifti season, was never led to a hare. _ Lanaline was a Waterloo Cup winner., Kilmainham was also a Waterloo Cup* winner. Lozenge was a litter sister to a Waterloo Cup winner. Erin’s Pride, besides winning a Waterloo Cup, won seven other big stakes. was a sister to the Great Bloomee, dam of those champions, Bulwark andi Braggidicia. Loud Report was in his day a most successful performer. White Hope is recognised as th® world’s greatest sire, and on studying his pedigree it is little wonder that he achieved such fame as a sire. : His pedigree shines with world celebrities in the greyhound sphere. White Hope’s sire, Such a Mark, was by Farndon Ferry, who not only won the English Waterloo Cup in 1902, but later ia life proved himself to be one of England’s best sires. Fiery Furnace was another great sire in bis day. Game ’Un, the dam of White Hope, was a daughter of that great dog, Gallant, ■who -won th© English Waterloo Cujj away back in 1897. grand: dam of Game ’Un, was a sister to Under the Globe, who was in his day) one of the greatest sires in England., White Hope died in Sydney in September, 1922, at the age of .13 years 4 months, and there passed away one on the greatest sires the world has ever; known. It is very doubtful .whether, the present generation of coursing enthusiasts will live to see a sire either imported to Australia or bred ther® or in New Zealand to equal the deeds of White Hope. _ _ Lupelite won th© New. Zealand Waterloo Cup in 1926, and his non* Lupin, won it in 1929. Erin’s Pride won the New .Zealand Waterloo Cup in 1906. _ In 1918 Miliicent an£ Fullhand (Western Star—Nine of Diamonds* divided the New Zealand Waterloo Cup* In 1984 El Dorado, by Gilfillan— Dorado, dam of Invader, won the Australasian Waterloo Cup. In 1893 and 1894 Pine Hunt, by Red Pine —Ply, was successful in th*New Zealand Waterloo Cup. Bloomer, dam of Hypatia, was « super bitch, and of all the first-clas* greyhounds owned by the late Sam Bladon, of (Rooty Hill, Australia, sh® was undoubtedly the best. To use Mr Bladon’s own words, “ She was the best greyhound that ever looked through a pair of slips.” That Mr Bladon was correct, her performance* prove, among them being the following? —ln 1893 she won the Victorian Oak* at Diggers’ Rest (Vic.), won the Waterloo Cup also at Diggers’ Rest. In 1894 i she again won the Waterloo Cup at Diggers’ Rest, and the Champion Cup at Benalla (Vic.). In 1895 she won th* Consolation Stake at Dunedin (New; Zealand), was runner-up for the Champion Cup at Benalla, and in 1896 won the Challenge Stakes at Dunedin (New Zealand), and also the Champion Cup at Echuca (Vic.). Bloomer was whelped in August, 1891, being bred by Mr ©ladon. Her racing weight was 581 b.
