| SIR HARRY is of a beautiful brown color
| IN form, unexceptionable-15 hands 3 inches
| high, with extraordinary great powers. His
| Pedigree and Performances OH 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
terior to no horse in the world being got by Sir
Peter out of 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
Childers, Regulus, Marsk, Matchem, Old Fox,
Tartar, Herod and HighAyer-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
--alEiost as docile as Spaniels, and probably.
easier 10 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
are winners as stated below. -
