• ported HORSE
BAY RICHMOND,
Rising eight years old,
At FORTY DOLLARS the season, and a Dollar
to the Groom ; the money to be paid at the stable
door.
BAY RICHMOND was imported by Lewis Morris
from England, and as appears by the under
mentioned certificates, is as high a bred horse as any
in Europe. He is a beautiful bay, fifteen hands high,
very active, and has got some remarkably handsome
colts, many of which may be seen in the pofleflion
of several gentlemen in the neighbourhood ofPhila
delphia. It is needless to mention any thing more of
the size, figure or activity of the horse, as his cjia
rader for each and all of them is so well established
through the States ; and will only add the certificates
of his pedigree for the fatisfadion of the public.
Richmond, Yorkshire, Sept. 10, 1774-
I CERTIF Y that the bay colt which Mr. John
Hutchinson purchased of Sir Lawrence Dundafs,
