Gouty has been so fully advertised in

and the performance ol his coils, justly
entitle him to rank conspicuous among
the bestStnilions in America. I will on

descended, from the best stock in Eng.
land, as may be traced to the most d:s

Calendars of 1807*8, which prove the dis
tinguished success of his colts on the
English turf, and that from the few sheet
calenders which I have received of the
racing of 1809, I find that one of his colts
