Her sire was a son of Hermit and La Belle Helene. Through her grandsire, who was a son of Newminster and Seclusion, she traces to Touch- stone, Camel, Dr. Syntax, Tad- mor. Sultan, Bay Middleton and Crucifix. Through her grandam. La Belle Helene, daughter of St. Albans and Teterrima, she is de- scended from Stockwell, Bribery. Pantaloon, Voltigeur. Bay Middle- ton and Malek. On the side of her dam, Pauline, Miserere is quite as richly endowed as through her sire.
