From VIRGINIA,
FULL sixteen hands high, and in great perfection,
rising eight years old, will stand the ensuing season
at the fubferibers in Ccecil county, Maryland, arid co
ver mares at Two Hundred and Fifty pounds the season.
Hw blood is equal to any on the Continent, which is
properly attested by a nun^er of the firft gentlemen in
Virginia; he was got by Brunswick, an imported horse,
Brunswick was get by Oronoko, who was got by the
Godolphin Arabian, out of the famous Miss Slamerkina
Brumfwick's dam was got by Bahram, from as good ;
stock as any in England. Black and all black's
dam was got by Ariel, who was got by Morton's Tra
veller, cut of Selima, his grand dam was full blooded and
a filter ot Bullyrock. H^ is remarkable for getting as e
legant and high formed colts as any horse in Virginia ;
his performance upon the turf has oeen Efficiently pro
ved, and for near two years has publicly challenged any
covering horse upon the Continent. Gentiemeh from a
distance may depend upon good pasturage being provi
