PEDIGREE.
Netifey's sire Sir HAL the best son of the i'm
ported horse Sir Harry, by Sir Peter Tea2le; 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.
.Mcdtey's dam was old Rcality nv Sir Arcbv mud
his favorite daughter she was the best racer in her
day, and is think the best breeder: Sis grand
dam was hlaruiaduke, Johnson's old Medley murc
VINO was more productive TO her owner as brood
mare, and produced more runners aud more winners
than any other mare in America, was by the old inn
ported horse Medley; his grea: grand dam by the i'm
ported Centinel, out of Polly Williams, the greatest
racer in her times 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, tlan any stallion now known,
which IN my opinion Ii the best blood.
PERFORMANCES.
The Spring he was years old he ran a match race
IN New York, tho Union Course for three thou
sand dotie's, against Mr. Verplancks Splendid, oot
OF Ariefs dam, which race he won with very GREAT
ease at two heats.
Tho next week he ran for u sweepstakes over the
same course on Long Island, to which there were Sc
ven subscribers, $500 each, which he 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 tall after he was trained, and run in bad
health and of course in bad order and was beat by
Red Murdoch and Aricl-tho' in his then condition
he performed well.-Sume fall he for sweep.
stakes over the Belficd course, mile heats sub
scribers, 5000 each, which race he won with great
ease, beating Col. Wynns horse Merlin and Mr.
Garrison's Ivanhoe, &c.
Spring he four wears old, he won the Jockv
Club purse over the Laurencevile course, four mile
heats, $500, without contest.
Next week he won the purse at New Market,
three mile heats, in fine time and STYLE beating the
truly formidable rnce 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 injury in his shoulder-which always re-
turned on him when put in exercise. This will &C.
count for lis having been taken from the turf SO
soon.I have better evidence however his RUNNING
powers than his public races, he was trained and
several times had private trials with Snow Storm
Sally Walker and TrImpator, that were certainly
good runners, and can say with truth that neither
OF them ever locked him after running half mile
This should not have mentioned had not Arthur
Taylor and Mr.. Badger both seen these trials and
know the correctness OF this statement.
