PEDIGREE.
.1Icdtey's sire Sir Hail. the best son Of the i'm
ported horse Sir Harry by Sir Peter Teazh,; Halls
dam by the imported horse Saltram, by Eclipse; his
grand dam by the imported horse Medley, by jim
Crack ls great grand dam by young Aristotle, by
Che imported Aristotle.
.Wediey's dam was old Reality, by Sir Archv. and
hs tavorte daughter; she the best racer in her
day, and Is think the best breeder; his grand
dam was Marmaduke. Jolmson's old Medley mare,
who was productive to her owner as n brood
mare, and produced moro runners and more winners
than any other in America, was by the old inn
ported horse Medley his great grand dam by the i'm
ported Centncl, out of Polly Williams the creates;
in llor time; shelby the old imported Janus, and
rcr great grund dam by the imported horse Spankcr.
1t viii thus be from his Pedigree, that he has
more Medley blood, than any stallion now known,
which IN ny opinion is the best blood.
PERFORMANCES.
The Spring be was years Old he ran match race
in New York, over the Union Course for uree Hou-
S'un dollars against Mr. VcrplGnck's Syieadid, out
OF ArioIs dam, Which race bo won with very great
cnsc ut two hoats.
Tho next week he ran for n sweepstakes over the
eatnc Long Island, to which there were Sc.
yen subscribers, 5000 each, which he won at two
heats in quick time, beating Rob Roy Splendid &c.
Bpth of these horses. that he so easily beat have
ainco been winners OH the Northern courses.
The fall after nc trained, and run in had
health, and Of course in bad ORDER aud was beat by
Red Mnrdock and Ariel-.tho' in his then condition
nc performed wcll.--Sanc fall nc ran for n sweep
stakes over the B1Ecld course, 9 NJ heats, sub
sCribers, 900 e0ch, which race he won with great
ease beating Col Wynns horse Merlin and MIR.
GaTTison's lvanhoc, &c.
Spring he was four years old, he won the Jocly
Club purse over The Laurcnccylc coursc, four mile
heats, $500, without a contest
Ncxt week he Won the purse at Now Market
treo mile heats IN fine time and style boating the
tThly formidable race mare Arfcl, without difficulty
nj two heuts, and running the second heat in 5n 4gs
Ghs was the last race he ever started for having aus
tained an injury in his shouder--which always re-
turned on him when put IN exercise. This will nc
rount for his having been taken from the turf 50
soou.--Ibav better evidence howeycr'ofds runuino
powers than his public races, be was trained and
several times bad private trials with Snow Storm
Sally Walker and Frumfntor, that were certainly
good runners, and can say With truth That neither
rf them ever locked him after running hafa mile
This should not have mentioned had not Arthur
Taylor and Mr.. Badger both seen these trials and
know the corrcctISss of this statement.
