PEDIGREE.
.he5icys sre Sir HAL the best son OF the I'M
ported horse Sir Harry, by Sir Peter Teazlc; Halls
grand dam by the imported horse Medley by Jim
crack his great grand dsn by Young Aristotle, by
The imported Aristotle.
.uedicy's dam was cd Reality, by Sir Archy, and
his favortc daughter; she the best racer in her
day, and is think tho best breeder; his grand
dam was MarlnndUke, Johnsons old Medley maze
who was more productive TO her owner as q brood
mare, aud produced more runners ard more winners
than any other mare in Americas was by the old i'm
ported horse Medley; his grea, grand dam by the inn
ported Ceptinel, of Polly Williams the greatest
racer IN her time; she 10y the old imported Janus and
her great grand dam by the imported horse Spanker.
1t VIII thus be from his Pedigree, that he 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 a match race
i'll New York. over the Union Course for three Nou-
sand dollars, against MIR. Nerpunck's Splcnd;d out
of Arels dam, which he won with very .,rea,
ease nj two heats.
! The next week he ran for sweepstakes over the
same course On Long Island which there were Sc
ven subscribers, $500 EACH which ne won at two
heats in quick time, beating Rob Roy. Splendid &c.
Both of these horses, that he easily beat, have
since been winners on the Northern courses.
The fall after he trained, ard run in bad
health, ana of course IN bad order, and was beat by
Red Murdoch and Arel-tho in his then condition
he performed well.-Same fall he ran for q sweep-
stakes over the Bcl6,ld course, = mile heats sub
scribcrs, 5000 each, which he won with great
case, beating Col. Wynn's horse Merlin and Mr.
Garrison's Ivanhoc. &c.
Spring he was four years cd, ne won tire Jocky
Club purse over the Laurcnceyllc course, four mile
heats. $500, without a contest.
Next week lie won the purse at New Market
three mile heats IN fine time and STYLE, beating the
truly formidable race Ariel, without difficulty.
at two heats, and running the second heat in 5m 49s
This was the last he started for having ss-
tanned an jury in his shoulder-whch 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 runpipo
powers than his public races, as be trained and
several times had private trials with SNOW Storm
Sally Walker and Trumpator, that wore certainly
good runners, and coli say with truth that neither
of them ever locked him after running half a mile
ibis should not have mentioned had not Arthur
Taylor and MIR. Badger both these trials and
know the correctness of this statement
