SA TO be one ofthe best sons Of
SIR pE1ER TEAZLE, unqaesiion@6iy the best
Stallion IN England, will stand this season, at
Michaux's Ferry, Oh James River, in Powhatan
county, about SO miles above Richmond, 3 miles
from Goochland Courthouse, and III miles from
Powhatan Cour,house-and rs the times are
difficult, and money les, plenty, he will cover
1T the low price of FORTY DOLLARS the sea-
son, which will commence on the LIST March,
and end the 1st August-very extensive and
good pas urage, and the advantage of fresh
cut Clover, from the adjoining plantation of
William Walthall, with separate lots for mares
and foals and servants board, gratis-but when
mares are, by direction, fed with grain, a rea-
sonabie oh. rye 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 FIF-
TEEN DOLLARS, cash, sent with them-or by
Insurance at seventy dollars, which must GER
tanly be paid if the property in the mare in
changed. I've recommend to gentlemen at as
distance, to send their mares before they toal,
as small safe lots will be provided for the ac-
comnodation 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 If they please note for forty dol
lars, payable at Christmas next, which note
may be discharged with ten pounds, if paid on
or before the lst of August
SIR HARRY is ola beautiful brown color
in form, nexceptionable-15' hands 3 inches
high, with extraordinary great powers His
Pedigree and Performances on the turf, are
now too weltknown 70 need detail, (but can be
seen on reference to the Racing Calendars and
General Stud Book )--sufHce it to say, that he
was one of the best Racers in England, particu-
iarly for heats and heavy weights In blood, in
fcrior to no horse in the world, being got by Sir
Peter out of Matron b. Alfred, and partaking Of
all the favorite and best blood of England, viz.
---Godolphn Arabian, Cullen Arabian, Places
White Turk, Barllei's Childers, Devonshire
Childers, Regulus, Marsk, Matchem, Old Fox,
Tartar, Herod and HighHyer-and with truth,
1t may be said, that he is equal, if not superior
20 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
are winners as stated below. in.
