Harkaway, by Economist U Mana Suspicion, by Speculation It will be noticed that Seaton Delaval is full of the most fashionable and best-staying English blood, and it is therefore not surprising that he was a stayer of the first water. Seaton Delaval won as a two-year-old, as a three-year-old, and as a four-year-old, and quitted the turf in 1894, as a five-year-old, sound in wind and limb. For quality and beauty of outline it would indeed be difficult to match him, and he ought to be a most successful stallion. The more noteworthy of the many triumphs were winning the Great Northern Handicap of £5OO at York, distance lj mile, and the Great Northumberland Plate of £l,OOO, at Newcastle, 2 miles, and in this race he beat the winners of the Chester Cup, of the Manchester Cup, and of the City and Suburban. He also ran second in the Great Metropolitan Stake at Epsom, 2} miles ; only beaten a head ; and in that race had behind him the winners of the Great Yorkshire Handicap, of the Goodwood Stakes, and of the Northamptonshire Stakes. The London Sportsman of December 19, 1894. writes as follows As a son of the very successful sire Melton, a good-looking, sound horse, and a rare stayer, Seaton Delaval is pretty sure to make his mark at the stud, and, indeed, it is a long time since so good a horse was sent to New Zealand.” Melton was sold some years back to the Italian Government for £lO,OOO, and English breeders have ever since been regretting that be was allowed to leave the country, as his stock have been uniformly successful. Owing to his being abroad, there were no two-year-olds to represent him in 1894, but in reviewing the racing season of that year, the London Times of December 14th last says:— “Melton, with 23 winners of over £13,000, should be given precedence over Wisdom, for Best Man, who won 8 races, is undoubtedly his son, and as Melton’s progeny have won £25,000 in the last two seasons, and have included such animals as Best Man, Avington, Bullingdon, and Indian Queen, it is easy to understand the regret felt at his being exported to Italy.” Terms for Approved Mares.—ls guineas for single mare; 12 guineas two or more the property of the same owner.
