Bruafwick was got by Orenoko, who was got by the
Godolphin Arabian, out of the famous Miss Slamtikn;
Brumfwick's darn was got by Babram, from as good a
stock as any in England. Black and all black's

veller, out 0 Selima, hi, grand dam was full blooded and
a filter ot Bullyrock, Hei remarkable for getting as e-
Icgant and high formed colts as any horse in Virginia ;
his performance upon the turf has been fufficiently pro,
ved. and for near two years has publicly challenged any
cov ring horse upon the Continent. Gentlemen from a
dift A nce may depend upon good pasturage being provi
ded, and the greatest care taken of their mares ; but the
subs .ri ! er will not be answerable for any escapes. The
money to be paid when the mares are fift covered.
