PEDIGREE.
.edtsys siro was Sir Hal, the best son of the i'm
ported horse Sir Harry, by Sir Peter Tcnzle; 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.
.Medicys dam was old Reality, by Sir Archy, aud
his favorite daughter she was the best in her
day, and is now think the best brccder his grand
dam vas Marmaduke, Johnsons old Medley mare,
who was more productive to her owner MS a brood
marc, 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
ported Ceutirc out of Polly Williams, the greatest
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,
which in my opinion is the best blood.

several times had private trials with Snow Storm
Sally Walker and Trumpator, that were certainly
good runners, and can say with truth that neither
