To be let to M ARES this Spring, by the subscri
ber at Christiana Bridge, the famous grey Horse
B OH E M 1 A,
TTP QU AT in beauty to any horse ever import I
into America, full blooded, bred by Mr.
Miliigan, got by Colonel Sharp's famous imported
horse Othello, and came of a full blood hunting
inare, got by Colonel Ricket's Barb. He is six
teen hands high, covered last Sealon at Salem in
great character, and is well known to get colts
Superior to any on the continent; he will cover at
so low a price as FIFTY SHILLINGS for the fea
fou. Good pasture may be had for mares, proper
care taken, and due attendance given by the pub
lic's molt humble servant,
RICHARD DOWDL E.
N. B. He is to Stand two days each week at New
ark.
The Beautiful Elegant HORSE
CR E O L E,
A FULL blood, imported from Old England,
f\ fifteen hands high, a finq'hlack, with a itar,
and one hind foot white, boney and well made,
goes remarkably gay, true and light under the (ad
dle, and looks as fair fcr getting good colts for
either turf or saddle as any horse in ttys country,
will cover mares this season, for THIRTY SHIL
LINGS each mare, at Priestly's Stables, in
the borough of Bi iftol. Good care will be taken
of mares.
The reputed, thorough bred Running Horse
TR UE BRITO N,
Which formerly belonged to Anthony Waters,
but now the property of the fubfefiber,
IS in excellent order, and found, and will cover
maies this season until the firft of August next,
at the stable of John Dickinson, in Salem, Welt
New-Jersey, at the low rate of Fifty Shillings cash
the fafon, or Three Pounds credit until the firft
day of January next, and privilege of making
^ choice at the expiration of the season, whether to
have their mares insured at Five Pounds Eight
Shillings, or to pay as above, with a proviso that
thev bring their mares regularly, and appear at
Laid Dickenfon's on the firft, second or third days
of August next, to give an account whether they
insure or pay by the season. Said horse was never
before known to cover under Three Pounds the
season certain, and for mod part of his time at al
:nolt double that sum. He is a beautiful dark bay,
flout and neat made; as he is a noted horse in most
parts of the continent, it is needless to make men
tion of his blood or performances, as they are al
lowed by the best judges to be equal, if not prefer
able, to any horse in America. His last spring colts
fell commonly from Twenty to Fifty Pounds, and
upwards, and some are held at the rate of One
Hundred Pounds each.
At the fame place is to be kept, a curious Eng-
Wb D RAY HORSE, for those who choose to
breed draft horses, of which the Public Shall have a
more particular account in a future advertisement.
Mares that are lent before the grass is fit, may be
provided with green rye, which is excellent pasture,
at Two Shillings and Sixpence per week, and

meimer's stables, in Seventh street, near Mar
ket-Street, at Three Pounds the season and Five
Shillings to the groom.
HE is a fine bay,, full fifteen hands high, and

got by the noted running horse Juniper, who dart
ed in the four following years, 1757, 1758, 1759,
and 176®, for eighteen.plates, and won fourteen of
them. Col. Syme afterwards imported trim into
Virginia, and fold him for 10001. Virginia curren
cy. Babraham's dam was got by Samuel Gallo
way, Esquire's bay horse Selim, hi^ grandam, by
the late Col. Hopper's Pacolet, his great grandam

Mab, and his great great great grandam was Miss
