broke down, after a most lucrative career ; is got by boo-
ing', out of a Windsor mare---Parade. - Ills keepers have
never exercised him much on the turf, but are understood
to have spared no expence on him in the stud. His con-
dition is consequently good, and be certainly inherits many
valuable malittes from his sire.---Many counties boast the
honour of his birth.

Sir Arthur—got by Jrabob, ont of an Irish mare. Pe
is a Wel f- b red horse, and will take a stone wall, Ile belt

the knowing ones say that he is become skittish, and expect
that he will bolt from the course.

The General Kellerman—is sound and bony, will PI
great lengths, and has an unusual depth in his fore-quar-
ters. The odds ore between him and Sir flew, but Keller-
man is the fill ollrite on account of his bottom ; and because

tered for the purpose of promoting sport. lie will proba-
