SIR HARRY is ola beautiful brown color
in form, Xceptionable-l5 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 III England, particu-
larly for heats and heavy weights In blood, IN
ferior to no horse ia the world being got by SIR
Peter out of NIatron by Alfred, and partaking OF
all The f.lvorite and best blood OF England, viz.
--Godoiphin ARABIAN, Cullen Arabian, Places
White Turk, Bartet's Childers, Devonshirc
Childers, Regulus, Marsk, Matchem, Old Fox,
Tartar, Iierod and Highhyer-and with truth,
it may be said, that he is equal, fnot 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 rs docilc Span;els, and probably,
easier to break than any other colts.--From
the sample which the public have seen on the

cers-Seven only have started, and FIVE of them
are winners as stated below.
