To COVER this season, at rhe subscriber's feat,
in Newtown Townlhip, Gloucester county, op
polite Philadelphia,
YOUNG VALLIANT,
at 1 wenty Shillings the season, until the firft of
August.
VFALLIANT is a jet black, riling four years
V old, fifteen and an half hands high, with a
beautiful blaze in his face, well built, remarkable
for courage and lofty carriage, and is thought by
good judges suitable to get good dock for the draft
or fiddle. He was got by that noted Englilh Dray
Horse imported by Colonel Francis, from Lincoln-
Ihire, (Old England.) Any persons that fend their
Mares, may depend upon their being taken good
care of, and good pasture at zf6 per week, by
MARMADUKE COOPER.
N. B. The Englilh Dray Horse imported by
Colonel Francis, was advertised to be kept at the
subscriber's, but for some reasons was let go to
Chester County, upon Brandywine. In order that
the publick should not be disappointed, he informs
them of this. Those Mares that milled being with
foal by the old horse last season, shall have the en
suing season of the Colt for Ten Shillings cash.

Weft New-Jersey, and was imported by Colonel
Francis, from Lincolmfhire, in Old England, is

township, in Chester county, between Kennet
Meeting-House, and the Forks of Brandywine
creek, near Benjamin Taylor's mill, at FORTY
SHILLINGS per MARE for the Season, until
the firft of August next.
rpHEDRAY HORSE is a jet black; with
a large star and snip, measures seventeen hands
and one inch high, sixteen inches round the knee
joint, and is perhaps the broadest horse on the Con
tinent. The laid horse is much admired for his
high courage, dofty carriage, and trueneis in draw
ing, and is judged to be the strongest horse in the
province; and can be assured by proof, that he has
got the most, likeliest, largest, and strongest colts
of any horse ever imported into the province : much
more with truth might be added, but as he covered
at the fame place four seasons part, and is so well
knovn that it is needless to Enlarge. Any person
that please to fend their mares, may be assured the
best care ihall be taken of them, and any that live
at a distance may have good pasture at Two Shil
lings per week, by me
ISAACTAYLOR.
" B° There is divers of the said horse's colts
fold lately from eighty to one hundred and forty
pounds apiece, some of which seem likely to be
nearly or quite as large as himfelf.
