PEDIGREE.
.Dedeys sire Sir Hal, the best son of the i'm
ported horse Sin Harry, by Sir Peter Teazle Halls
grand dam by The Imported horse Medley, by Jim
Crack, his great grand dam by young Aristotle, by
the imported Aristotle.
.hediey's dam old Reality, by Sir Archy, and
ms favorte daughter she the best racer in her
day, and is Il think the best breoder his GRAND
dam was Marmaduke. Johnson's old Medley mare.
who was more productive to her owner as a brood
mare, and produced more runners and more winners
than any other mare in America, was by the old i'm
ported horse Medley; his great grand dam by the i'm
racer In her time she by the old imported Janus and
her great grand dam by the imported horse Spanker
1t will thus be seen from his Pedigree, that he has
more Medley blood, than any stallion now known,
winch IN my opinion Is the best blood.

ven subscribers, $500 each, which he won AZ two
heats IN quick tinIe beating Rob Roy. Splendid &C.
Both OF these horses, that he so easily beat have

truly formidable race mare Ariel without difficulty
at two heats, and running the second heat in 5rn A1s
This was the last race he started for having sus
tanned an injury in his shOuder-wbicb always no
turned on him when putin 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, he was trimmed and
eyeral times had private trials with Snow Storm
sally Walker and Trumpator, that were certainly
good runners, and can say with truth that neither
~ them ever locked him after running halfa nile
This Should not have mentioned had not 'Artbu,

know the correctness Of this statement
