fon for 10 dollars, except tho(e which were
covered by the leap; for fuch a6 dols. will
be required. ANY gentleman putting fix
murea, mall have one covered gratis. The
feaion will commence on the 1t of March,
and expire the 1T 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 keptexclusively for mares with
colts, and those which may be sent be-
fore foaling. Servants sent with mares
will be boarded at 9s. 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
us in March last, from Mr. Lightioct,
at s. ,OOo.---He covered 165 mares
out of which number, as far as we
have been able to learn, very few have
not proved with foal.
KNOWSLEY's sire, the famous
Sir Peter Teazle, now covers in En-
gland by subscription, limited num-
ber of Mares at 25 guineas each; no
other horse at more than 1s guireas.
In 1904, he had "a winning colts
on the turf, when no other horse had
more than If. land out of % kings
plates run for, 8 were won by his
colts---see Z. C. for 1so4---tte last
arrived. From the present appear
ance of knowsley's colts, and the sue
sessful 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 certif-
Gates from such respectable charac-
tiers, will place Knowsley, as a foal
getter, on as high ground as any other
horse In the state.
