PEDIGREE.
Bieaieys sire was Sir Hal, the best son o. tn, i'm
ported horse Sir Harry, by Sir Peter Teazle; Halls
dam by the imported horse Saltram by Eclipse; his
grand dam by the imported horse Medley, by Jim
Crack, his great grand dam by Young Aristotle, by
the imported Aristotle.
'aiedteys dam was old Reality, by Sir Arcliy, and
his iavoritc daughter; she the best racer in her
cay and Is now think the best breeder; his grand
dam was Marmaduke, Johnsons old Medley mare,
VINO was more productive to- her owner as a brood
mare, aud produced more runners and more winners
than any other mare IN America, by Tie old i'm
ported horso Medley; his great grand dam by the inn
Ported Centucl, out of Polly Williams the creates,
racer III her te she By the old imported janus aud
her great grand dam by the imported horse Spankcr
1t Will thus be seen from his Pedigree, that lac has
more Medley blood, than any stallion now known,
which in my opinion is the best blood.
PERFORMANCES.
The Spring he was years old he ran r. match race
in New York. over the Union Course for three thou
sand dollars, against MIR. Verplancks Splendid out
OF Ariels dam, which race he won with very great
ease at two heats.
The next week he ran for sweepstakes over the
same course on Long Island to which there were
ven subscribers, $500 EACH which he won at two
heats In quick tme beating Rob Roy, Splendid, &c.
Both OF these horses that lie so easily beat, have
since been winners on the Northern courses.
The fall after, he trained, and run in bad
Health, and of course in bad order, and was beat BY
Red Murdeck and Ariel--tho in his then condition
nc performed well.-Same fall lie ran for sweep
stakes over the Belfeld course, , mile heats sub
scribers, 5000 each, which race he won with great
case, beating Col. Wynn's horse Merlin and Mr..
Garrison's Ivanhoe, &c.
Spring he was four years old, he won the Jocliy
Club purse over the Laurencevle course, four mile
heats $500, without contest.
Next week he won the purse at New Market
three mile heats, in fine time and Style beating the
truly formidable mare Ariel without difficulty,
at two heats, and running the second heat in 5m I9s
IIs was the last he started for having sus-
tanned an injury in his shoudcr-which always re-
turned on him when put in exercise This will &C.
count for his having been taken from the turf so
soon-l have better evidence however of hrs running
powers than his public races be was trained and
several times had private trials with Snow Storm,
sally Walker and Trumpator, that wcEss certainly
good runners, and can say with truth tlat neither
OF them ever locked him after running half mile
This should not have mentioned had not Arthur
Taylor and Mr.. Badger both seen these trials aud
know the correctness of this statement
