high. 10 years old lat fpring, in greatper-
feeaiou, and as to mulcular ftrength & eau.
ty not infeeior to any horse in the Gate. He
is the only horfe in this country that has
won 4 kings piates in one year this he did
in 1890; see b. c., for that year. Not
withdrawing this and other SUBSCRIPTIONS
bic evidences of;Knowslcy's hyperion worth,
yet perfonal viewsof him will be his beft
recommendation.
KMowsLRr will fand the enfuing fea(on
at our fable in Albemarle county, 10 miles
above Charlottesville, to cover mares at 20
dollars the feafon, for which sotes will be
required, payable on or before the 18th o.
Sept. next; IA dellars the leap, and 40 doIf
lars to insure mare to be 10 loal, with one
dollar to the groom, which, with the leap
money. NUT be paid when the mare is CO.
vered. Thofe gentlemen who fent mares
to Knowsley laa feafon aud did not prove
with foal, fhall have then Injured this fea-
ION for 20 dollars, except tho(e which were
covered by the leap for fuch rs dolls. will
be required. ANY gentleman putting Fix
msres, fhall have one covered CRATIC. The
fee(on will commence on III. 1T of March,
sad expire the LIT of Augua next.
We shall be. able to furnish upwards
of 200 acres of excellent pasturage,
gratis, well enclosed, in separate
fields, besides several grass lots, which
will be kept exclusively for mares with
colts, and those which may be sent be-
fore foaling. Servants sent with mares
sill be boarded at IS. per week. Mares
will be fed, as directed, at the market
price of grain---and gentlemen may
rest assured that all possible care and
attention shall be paid to the mares
left with the horse, both to have'them
got with foal, and TO prevent accidents
or escapes---but no responsibility for
any that may happen.
KNOWSLEY was purchased by
ns in March last, from Mr. Lightfoot,
at S5,ooo.---He covered 165 mares
out of WHICH number, as far as we
have been able to learn, very few have
rot proved with feal.
KNOWSLEY's sire, the famous
Sir Peter Teazfe, now covers in En-
gland by subscription, a limited num-
Der of mares, at Is guineas each no
other horse at more than IL guineas.
In 1904, he had "a winning colts
ON the turf, when no other horse had
more than f6---and out of % kings
plates run for, were won BY his
colts---see r. C.. flor fSo4---the last
arrived. From the present appear
ance of Knowsley's colts, and the sue
ccssful performance of his stock on the
turf in England, very little doubt can
be entertained but that his colts will
prove also successful on the turf In
this country. The annexed certi6-
Gates from such respectable charac-
tiers, will place Knowsley, as foal
getter, on as high ground as any other
horse in theSstate.

PEDIGREE--Given by Lord

~" Knowsley, June Is, 1901.
Capella was bred by gen. Parker,
in 1873, and got by Herod, out
of Miss Cape, by Regulus, Buckeyes,

general stud book, pa. 40. Sir Peter
Teazle was got by Highayer in 1884
sec same book, pa. 1872, Highayer
was got BY Herod see pa. 2of and
so onhe may be traced through no.
be line of ancestors for ages past,
without single flaw in his genealo-
gy, either on the male or female side.
This extraordinary horse ran with
great credit at 2 years old at 8 he
proved successful, and so continued
until the last Of the year 1900. In
1898 ne won a sweepstakes of 20 gut
meas each, for 8 year olds, 8 subscri-
