SIR PETER fEAZLE, unquestion4biy the best
Stallion an England, will stand this season, al
Michaux's Ferry, on James River, in Powhatan
county, about 80 miles above Richmond, 8 miles
from Goochland 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-
son, which will commence on the 1st March,
and end the LIST 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, grdtis-but when
mares are, by direction, fed with grain, n rea-
sonable charge will be rnade--Great atten-
tion shall be paid, and care taken, but we will
not be responsible for escapes or any kind of
accidents. u
Mares may be covered by the leap at FIF-
TEEN DOLLARS, cash, sent with them-or by
insurance at seventy dollars, which must GER
tainly be paid lfthe property in the mare in
changed, 1--WE recommend to gentlemen at as
distance, to send their mares before they foal,
as small, safe lots will he 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 II they please q note for forty dol
lars, payable at Christmas next, which note
may be discharged with ten pounds, If paid on
or before the 1st of August.
SIR HARRY is ola beautiful brown color
in form, uncxceptionable-15 hands inches
high, with extraordinary great powers. His
Pedigree and Performances on the turf. are

seen on reference to the Racing Calendars and
General Stud Book )--sufiice it to say, that he
was one OF the best Racers in England, particd-
larly for heats and heavy weights. In blood, in
ierior to no horse in the world ,being got by SIR
Peter out of Matron by Alfred, and partaking of
ali the tavorite and best blood of England, Viz.
-Godolphin Arabian, Cullen Arabian, Places
Whits Turk, Bartlet's Chlders, Devonshire
Childers, ltegulus, Marsk, Matchem, Old Fox,
Tartar, Herod and Highhyer-and with truth,
it 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
almost as docile as Spanels, 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
