colts, and those which may be sent be-
fore foaling. Servants sent with 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 tie 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
us in March last, from Mr. Lightfoot,
at SIS ,oOo.- He covered 165 mares
out OF which number, as far as we
have been able to learn, very few have
not proved with toal.
| KNOWSLEX's sire, the famous
Sir Peter Teazle, now covers in En-
gland by subscription, a limited num-
Der OF mares, at 25 guineas each no
other horse at more than IL guineas.
/ In 1904, he had ga winning colts
on the turf, when no other horse lad
more than 16---and out Of % kings
plates run for, were won by his
! colts---see X. G.. for 18o4---the last
arrived. From the present appear
ance Of Knowsley's colts, and the sue
eessful 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 cerfih-
Gates from such respectable charac-
tiers, will place Knowsley, as ioal
getter, on as high ground as any other
horse in the state.
