Groom's Fjo, s§. pedkikek — PRINCE CHARLIE was bred by Mr James Nicol Fleming, of Knockdon, Ayrshire, Scotland. Dam, the celebrated mare Darling, sire, Prince Alfred. Darling has been a very successful prizetaker, and as a brood mare unparalleled. Among the many prizes she has taken, ths following may be mentioned, viz. : Fint as a three-year-old, at the Highland Society's show, at Stirling, 18G4, and first as a brood mare at the same show, held at Inverness, 1865 ; she also gained first prize at Ayr show same year. In 1868 she gamed (besides the Society's prize at Ayr) a prize of ten pounds, offered by the Highland Society for the best brood nure, open to Scotland. She was fint at Maybole, 1869, and fint at Ayr and Maybole, 1870, thus finishing her show career, never being beaten.

Her next foal wa» a filly, which was six times shown by Mr Fleming, and wa» six limes first, vix., twice at Maybole, twice at Ayr, once at Glasgow, and once at the Highland Society's Show, held at Edinburgh . t>he was then sold to Mr Drew, an a frwoyearoU, for £100, who exhibited her throughout Scotland and England, and never suf* I feied defeat, except from one of her own family ; he then sold her for 500 guineas.

The General, the sire of Prince Alfred, was also the sire of Prince of Wales, making Prince Charlie and Prince of Wale» very closely related.
