Michaux's Ferry, on James River, IN Powhatan
county, about 80 miles above Richmond, miles
from Goochlaad Courthouse, and III 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

and end the LIST August-yery extensive anu
good pas urage, and the advantage OF fresh
CIT Glover, from the adjoining plantation OF
William Walthally] with separate lots Tor mares

sonable Oh rye will be madc--Great atten-

accidents.
Mares may be covered by the leap at FIF-
| TEEN DOLLARS, cash, sent with them-or by

| SIR HARRY is of a beautiful brown color
| in form, unexceptionable-,5 hands 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 and
General Stud Book -suffice it to say, that he
was one of the best Racers in England, particu-
larly for heats and heavy weights. In blood, in
ferior to no morse in the world being got by Sir
Peter out OF Matron by Alfred, and partaking of
all the tavorite and best blood of England, viz.
--Godolphin Arabian, Cullen Arabian, Places
White Turk, Bartlet's Childers, Devonshire
Childers, Regulus, Marsk, Matchem, Old Fox,
Tartar, Herod and Highflyer-=-and with truth,
it may be said, that he is equal, if not superior
TO any horse that ever imported, and cost
more money. His stock are fall sized and like
himself, remarkably fine tempered and thrifty
almost as docile IS Spanels, and probably,
easier to break than any other cots--From
the sample which the public have seen on the
Turf, there can be no doubt OF their being Ra-
ccrs-Seven only have started, and FIVE of them
are winners rs stated below.
