10 De one OF the best sons of
SIR PETER TEAZLE, nnqpestionably the best
Stallion in England, will stand this season, at
Michaux's Ferry, on James River, in Powhatan
county, about 80 miles above Richmond, miles
from Goochland Courthouse, and ii miles from
| t'owhatan Cour. house-and as the times are
| iihicuit, and money less plenty, he will cover
at the low price of FORTY DOLLARS the sea-
| son, which will commence the 1st March,
and end the lst August-ycry extensive and
good pas urage, Csnd the advantage of fresh
cut Glover, from the adjoining plantation of
| William Walthall, with separate lots Tor mares
and foals, and servants board, gratis-but when
mares are, by direction, fed with ,rran, rea-
| sonable en- rye will be made--Csreat 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 ;nem-or by
insurance at seventy dollars, which must GER
family be paid if the property IN the mare I'D
| hanged. I'VE recommend to gentlemen ut as
distance, TO send their mares before they foai
rs 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
crroon, and 1T 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 LIST of August.
SIR HARRY is OF beautiful brown color
| IN form, unexceptonable-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 Book )-sufHce it to say, that he
was one OF the best Racers IN England, particu-
! iariy 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 favorite and best blood of England viz.
-Godolphin Arabian, Cullen Arabian, Places
White Turk, Bartle;'s Childcrs, Devonshire
Childers, Regulus, Marsk, Matchem, Old Fox,
Tartar, Herod and Highhyer-and with truth,
1T may be sad, 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-Seyen only have started, and five OF them
| are winners rs stated below.
