SIR PETER TEAZLE, anquestionabiy the 6sst
Stallion in England, will stand this season, at
AIichaux's Ferry, on James River, in Powhatan
county, about 80 miles above Richmond, miles
from Goochlsnd Courthouse, and IL miles from
Powhatan Courthouse-and as the times are
difficult, and money less plenty, he will cover
at the low price OF FORTY DOLLARS the sea
son, which will commence on the 1st March,
and end the lst August--very extensive and
good pas urage, Eand the advantage of fresh.
cut Glover, from the adjoining plantation of
William Walthan, with separate lots for mares
ana foals, and servants board, gratis--but when
mares are, by direction, fed with grain, a rea-
sonable charge Will be made-Great atten-.
ton shall be paid, and care taken, but we will
not be responsible for escapes or any kind of
accidents.
Mares may be covered by the leap at FTP
TEEN DOLLARS, cash, sent with them-or by
insurance at seventy dollars, which must GER
tainly be paid II the property in the mare is
changed. I'VE recommend to gentlemen at a
distance. to send their mares before they foal,
as small, safe lots will be provided for the ac-
cOmmodation of such, and will afford them the
chance OF earlier colts next year. With each
mare gentlemen will send half dollar to the
Groom, and it they please note for forty dol
lars, payable at Christmas next, which note
or before the 1st of August
SIR HARRY is of a beautiful brown color
in form, unexceptionable--15 hands 5 inches
high, with extraordinary great powers. His
Pedigree and Performances on the turf, are
now too well known to need detail, (but can be
seen or reference to the Racing Calendars and
General Stud Book )-sufficc it to say, that he
was one of the best Racers in England, particu-
larly for heats and heavy weights. In blood, in
n IN in he bs.in not htrC
Peter out of Matron by Alfred, and partaking of
all the favorite and best blood of England, viz.
--Godolpbin Arabian, Cullen Arabian, Places
White Turk, Bartlets Childers, Devonshire
Chiders, Regulus, Marsk, Matchem, Old Fox,
Tartar, Herod and Highhyer-and with truth,
IT may be said, that he is equal, ifnot superior
to any horse that ever was imported, and cost
more money. His stock are full sized and like
himself, remarkably fine tempered and thrifty
almost as docile as Spaniels, and probably,
easier to break than any other colts.----From
the sample which the public have seen on the
Turf, there can be no doubt of their being RAJ
cers-Seven only have started, and FIVE of them
winners as stated below.
