PRINCE CHARLIE was bred by Mr J lames Nicol Fleming, of Knockdon, Ayr- . shire, Scotland. Dam, the celebrated mare Darling, sire, 11 Prince Alfred. Darling has been a very successful prixetaker, and as a brood mare nnparalleled. Among the many prizes she has taken, the following may be mentioned, vie. : First as a three-year-old, at the Highland Society's show, at Stirling, 1864, and first as a brood mare at the same show, held at Inverness j 1865 ; she also gained first prise at Ayr show same year. In 1868 she gained (besides the Society's prize at Ayr) a prize of ten pounds, | offered by the Highland Society for the best brood mare, open to Scotland. She was first at Maybole, 1869, and first at Ayr and Maybole, 1870, thus fininhiitg her show career, never being beaten. As to her progeny, her first foal, Prince of Wales, as a yearling • gained first prize at Ayr, and second at the Highland Society's Show at Glasgow. As a two- year old, was first at Ayr, and first at , Glasgow, beating the colt that was placed ' before him as a yearling, and also a champion prize of twenty ponnda, open to Scotland. As a three-year-old, he gained first price at the Royal Society's i*how of England, held r at Manchester, against stallions of all ages, and the following week carried off the lavrels at the Highland Society's Show, held at , Edinburgh, when he was* sold to Mr David Riddle, Kilbowie, for £500 ; he <ras after1 wards sold for the mm of 1500 guineas to r Mr Drew of Merryton, the greatest bseeder in Great Britain ; he is now in the Merrytoa ■tud, and stand* for £40 per icare. 1 may also mention that Time of Day, the champion horse at the Highland Society's Show, held at Glasgow, 1875, and sold afterwards for the sum of 1500 guineas, to go to Australia, was a son of the Prince of Wales ; and Never Mind Him, the champion horse at the Royal • Society's Show oi England, hrld at Taunton, • 1875, was also a son of the Prince of Wales ; and many other prize winners and high priced herses to numerous too mention, one of ! which, atm o-year-oM (illy, bred by Mr Drew, brought the sum of 440 guineas. Her next foal was a hlly, which was six times shown by Mr Flaming, and was sit ' tines first, viz., twice at Maybole, twice at 1 Ayr, once at Glasgow, and once at the Highland Society's Show, held at Edinburgh . M>e was then sold to Mr Drew, as a two-year-old, for £loo, who exhibited her throagkout Scotland and En eland, and never suffered defeat, except from one of her own family ; be then sold her for 500 gmineas. Her next foal was Prince Charlie, which gained first prize at Maybole, first at Ayr, and sacand at Glasgow. He was then sold as a yearling, at a very high price, to go to His tire, Prince Alfred, was bred by Mr Fleming, from his mare Jean, which is said to have gained more mixes than any mare in Scotland: Prince Alfred gained 3rd prize at Ayr, as a year-old, and 3rd prize at the same place, and 3rd prize at Glasgow as a two-year-old all of whith shows he was competing wit the invincible Prince of Wales ; wbn three years old he was sold to Mr David Kiddle, Kilbowie, after which he gained tlie Campbelltown premium of £50. The General, the sire of Prince Alfred, was also the sire of Prince oi Wales, making Prince Charlie and Prince of Wales very closely related. The excellency of this breed is further shown from the fact that a year-old filly got by Prince of Wales brought the handsome sum of £106, at Mr Fleming's late sale at Drumburle ; which afterwards carried away firrt prize at the Highland Society's Show, held at Stirling in 1873, the owner refusing to take a lower price than £750 for herJ , As a proof of the superiority of the breed over any other in Scotland, I may mention that at the Highland and Agricultural Show, held at Perth, IS7I, all the first and second prize winners in the three classes of Clydesdale fillies belonged to or were bred by If r Fleming, Prince Charlie's dam beingthedam of one and the grand-dam of four. Prince Arthur— foil brother to Prince Charlie— took second j>iize at tho Highland Seciety's Show held at Stirling, 1873, in a class of 36 competitors, aud tvas afterwards sold for 800 guineas to go to Australia. Prince Charlie's dam had seven colts and fillies, the money value of which ameunted to LSIOO.
