to be one ofthe best sons of
SIR PETER rEAZLE, unquestionzbly the best
Stallion in England, will stand this season, at
Mlchaux's Ferry, on James River, in Powhatan
county, about so miles above Richmond, 3 miles
from Goochland Courthouse, and IL miles from
Powhatan Cour,house-and as the times
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 paslurage, RI and the advantage OF fresh
| cut Glover, from the adjoining plantation of
William Walthall, with separate lots Tor mares
and foals, and servants board, Srafis-but when
mares are, by direction, fed with grain, rea-
sonable CHI rye will be made--Great atten-
ton shall be paid, and care taken, but we will
not be responsible for escapes any kind of
accidents.
Mares may be covered by the leap at FIF-
TEEN DOLLARS, cash, sent with tbem-or by
insurance at seventy dollars, (which must GER
tainly be paid if the property in the mare in
changed. I'VE recommend to gentlemen ut as
distance, to send their mares before they foal,
as small, safe lots will be provided for the &C
commodation of such, and will afford them the
chance OF earlier colts next year. With each
mare gentlemen will send half 4 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 OH
SIR HARRY is ola beautiful brown color
in form, uneXceptionable-15 hands 5 inches
high, with extraordinary great powers. His
Pedigree and Performances on the turf, arc
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
ferior to no horse in the world, being got by Sir
Peter out of Matron by Alfred, and partaking of
all the favorte and best blood of England, viz
-Godolphin Arabian, Cullen Arabian, Places
White Turk, Bartlet's Childers, Devonshirc
Childers, Regulus, 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 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 IS stated below.
