PEDIGREE.
.fcdfeys sire was Sir Hail. the best son OF the i'm
ported horse Sir Harry, by Sir Peter Tcazle; Halls
dam by the imported horse Saltram, BY Eclipse; his
grand dam by the imported horse Medley, by Jim
Track his great grand dam by young Aristotle, by
the imported Aristotle
.neflfeys dam was old Reality, by Sir Arcv. md
his favorte daughter she the best racer in her
day, and is now think the best brccder his grand
dam was Marmadukc, Johnsons old Medley mrre,
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 grca, grand dam bv the inn
ported Centinel, ont of Polly Williams the grcatcss
her great grand dam by the imported horse Sranker
1t will thus be from his Pedigree tina, he has
more Medley blood. than any stallion now known,
which IN my opinion is the best blood.
