PEDIGREE.
.Hediey's size was Sir Hell the best son of the i'm
ported horse Sir Harry, by Sir Peter Tcazie; Halls
dam by the imported horse Saltrnm, by Eclipse; his
grand dam by the imported horse Medley, by Jim
the imported Aristotle.
.Nedteys dam vas old Reality, by Sir Arc!,y, and
ms iavorte laughter; she was the beat in her
day, and is now think the best breeder; his grand
dam was Marmaduke, Johrsons old Medley mare
who was more productivcto her owner as u brood
mare, aud produced more runners and more winner
than any other marc in America was by the old i'm
ported horse Medley; his great grand dam by the i'm
ported Ccntnel, out of Polly Williams the creates,
racer IN her time; she by the old imported Janus and
her great grand dam BY the imported horse Spapker.
Ii VIII thus be seen from his Pedigree, that he has
more Medley blood, than any stallion now known
which III M opinion is the best blood
| PERFORMANCES.
Ihc Spring he was years CID, he ran a match race
IN New York. the Union Course for three thou.
sand dotars, against Mr.. Nerpanck's Splendai, on,
of Ariels dam, which race he won with very ,rrcnt
easc at two heats.
The next week he ran for a sweepstakes over the
same course on Long Island to which there were Sc
ven subscribers, $500 each, which he won az two
heats in quick time, beating Rob Roy, Splendid, sc.
Both OF these horses, that he so easily beat, irave
since been winners on the Northern courses.
The fall after he trained, and run IN bad
health, and of In bad order and was beat by
Red Murdoch and Aricl--tho in his then condition
nc performed wel.-SSme fall he ran for a sweep
stakos over tho Belfeld course, , mile heats, sub
scribers, $500 each, which he won with great
ease, beating Col. Wynns horsee Merlin and Mr..
Garrison's lvanhoe, sc.
Spring he was four years old, he the Jocky
Club purse over the Laurencevile COURSE four mile
heats, 500, without contest.
Next week he the purse at New Market
three mile heats, in fine time and style beating the
truly formidable race mare Ariel, without difficulty
at two heats and running the second heat in 5in 1875
This was the last he started for having sus-
tanned an injury in his shoulder-which always re-
turned on him when put in exercise This will ac-
count for his having been taken from the turf SO
soon.-l have better evidence however ofhis running
powers than his public races es he was trained and
several times had private trials With Snow Storm
Sally Walker and Trumpator, that were ce--ninly
good runners, and can say with truth that neither
OF them ever locked him after running half O mile
| This should not have mentioned had not Arthur
Taylor and Mr.. Badger both seen these trials and
! know the correctness Of this statement.
