PEDIGREE.
.gedlcys sire SIR Hal. the best son oc tho I'M
ported horse Sir Harry, by Sir Peter Tea1!e; 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
.Nedieys dam was old Reality, by Sir Archy, and
his tavoritc daughters she the best racer in her
day, and is think the hes, breeder; his grand
dam was Marmadukc Johnson's old Medley mare.
who was more productive to hcr owner us a brood
mare, aud produced more runners and wnneis
than any other mare in America, 10y the old IN
ported horse Medley; his grca, grand dam by the inn,
ported Ccntine out of Polly Williams, the greatest
racer in her timo she by the old imported Janus, and
her great grand dam by the imported horse Spanhcr.
1t will thus be seen from his Pedigree, that he has
more Medley blood, than amy stallion now known,
which III my opinion is the best blood.
PERFORMANCES.
The Spring hr was wears old, lac ran n match race
IN New York. the Union Course for three thou
srnd doi'ays, against Mr.. Ycrpancks Spiendid, out
OF Ariel daai which race he won WIKI very great
ease u two meats.
The next week lie ran for sweepstakes oyer the
saue coarse on Long Island - which there were So
ven subscribers, $500 each, which he won u; two
heats in Quick time, beating Rob Roy. Splendid sc.
Bath 81. these horses that nc so easily beat nave
since hecn winners the Northern courses.
Iir fall after he trau!cd. AMI rim in bad
health and ot course in bad order, and was beat by
Red Murdoch and AriC,-tho in his then condition
nc performed well.-Sane fall he ran for Il sweep
stakes over the Bclticld course, mile heats sub
Sc7hcrs, 500 each which race he Won with great
ease, beating. Col. Wynns horse Merlin aud Mr.
Garrison's lvlnlioe, DC.

Club purse over the LanTCnccyic course, four mile
heats, $6nO without Il Contest.
Next Wees he won tho purse at New iiarket,
three mile heats, Ill fine ine ana style, beating The
truly formidable race mare Ariel, without difficulty.
ut tNo meats, and running The second heat in SIN. 9s
Tins was the last he started for having sl:s-
mined all injury IN his si:o,icr-which G!wavs re-
turned on INN when PCT IN exercise. This will ac-
couCs for his having been taken from the turf so
soon.-I have better evidence however oiiiis running
powers than his public races. he trained, and
-pyeral tIn'-- had private Trials with Snow Storm
Sally Walker and Trump1tor. that wcr, certainly
GOOD runners, and can say with truth that neither
II them ever locked linn after running halt mile
This Should not have mentioned had not Arthur
Taylor and Mr.. Badger both seen these trials and
know the correctness Of this state Inrnt.
