SIR HARRY is ola beautiful brown color
an form, uneXceptonable-15 hands 8 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 ON reference to the Racing Calendars an.i
General Stud Book )-suaice it to say, that he
was one OF the best Racers in England, particu.
larry for heats and heavy weights In blood, in
ferlOr TO no horse III the world being got by Sir
Petcr out oi Matron by Alfred, and partaking of
all the favorite and best blood of England, viz
--Godolphin Arabian, Cullen Arabian Places
White Turk, Bartlei's Childers, Devonshire
Chiiders, Regulus, Marsk, Matchem, Old Fox,
Tartar, Herod and Highhyer-and with truth,
1t may be said, that he is equal if not 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
-.-aMost as doc.lc Spaniels, and probably.
easier 20 break than any other cots--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
.sre winners as stated below.
