Views of Another Believer in the Published Breeding of Sunol's Dam. Editor Breeder and Sportsman:âSuppressio veri, sugges* tio falsi {a suppression of the truth is a suggestion of a falsehood) is a maxim of universal acceptance. In the May number of Wallace's Monthly, under the ele- gant heading of "Sunol's Reported Grandam Finally Ex- ploded," the editor tells of a talk he ha 3 at Chicago with Jos. Cairn Simpson, in which Mr. Simpson showed him the orig- inal agreement between Welch and Philip Swigert, in, which the Grey Eagle mare's foal for 1863 is given as a bay oolt. This shows Mr. Gould was mistaken in thinking that Waxy was her foal of that year. Here Wallace abruptly stop3, and here is just where the suppressio veri comes in. Wallace would have the world believe that Mr. Gould's investigations are barren of results, and Iconoclast in a recent reference to Waxy's pedigree leaves the case with the same inference. Is this fair? Did Mr. Gould's work prove nothing as to the blood of Waxy. Leaving oat all verbal testimony taken, what do the pub- lished records show? January 3rd, 1865, she was sold at the San Jose race course, and the paper, "California Spirit of the Times" immediately after the sale published an account of it, noting the sale of Waxy in the following words: â *No. 5.âSorrel filly, two years old, by Lexington. Bought by William Woodward The same paper in its issue of Dae. 17, 1864, seventeen days before the sale, speaks of this stock as follows: "In another column will be found an advertisement of a sale of thoroughbred stock which will take place at the Fair Grounds near San Jose on Tuesday, January 3rd, 1865. "This stock is a portion of that purchased by the late J. P. Weloh in Kentuoky and Tennessee last spring for account of John Anderson
