SIR PETER rEAZLE, inquest ,ona6Iy the 6eS
Stallion in England, will stand this season, a
| Michaux's Ferry, on James River, in Powhatay
county, about 80 miles above Richmond, s mile,
from Goochland Courthouse, and II mikes from
| Powhatan Cour house-and as the times arc
| difficult, and money less plenty, he will cover
at the low price of FORTY DOLLARS the sea
| son, which will commence on the LIST March
and end the LIST August-very extensive and
| good pas urage, land tie advantage of fresh
cut Clover, from the adjoining plantation OF
| William Walthatl, with separate lots for mare
and foals, and servants board, ,rdtis-but vixen
mares are, by direction, fed with grain, a rea-
sonable CHI 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 F,F-
TEEN DOLLARS, cash, sent with thein--or bv
| insurance at seventy dollars, (which must GER
tainly be paid ifthe property in the mare in
changed. I'VE recommend to gentlemen at As
distance, to send their mares before they foal,
Is small, safe lots will be 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 a dollar to the
Groom, aud it they please note for forty dol
lars, payable at Christmas next, which note
may be discharged with ten pounds, if paid Oh
OF before the lSt oil August.
SIR HARRY is of a beautiful brown color
IN form, unexceptionable-15 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 ok)--suffice it to say, that he
was one OF the best Racers in England, particu-
larry for heats and heavy weights In blood, in
terror to no horse in the world, being got by Sir
Peter out of Matron by Alfred, and partakinr of
all the favorite and best blood of England, Viz.
--Godolphin Arabian, Cullen Arabian, Places
White Turk, Bartset's Childers, Devonshire
ChIlders, Regulus, Marsk, Matchem, Old Fox,
Tartar, Herod and highAyer--and with truth,
1t may be said, that he Is equal, ifnot superior
to ANY horse that ever was imported, and cost
more money. His stock arc full sized and like
himself, remarkably fine tempered and thrifty
utmost as docile as Spanicls, and probably,
easier to break than any other cots.--Fron
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
