PEDIGREE.
.Uedieys sire was Sir HAL the best son q tho i'm
ported horse Sir lIacry, by Sir Peter Teazi,s Halls
dam by the imported horse Saltrsni. by Eclipse; his
grand dam by the imported horse Medley, BY Jim
the imported Aristotle
JMedieus dam old Reality, by Sir Archv and
his iavofite daughter; she the best racer in he-
cay, and ~ now think the best breeder; his grand
dam was Marmaduks, tohnson's old Medley nrnre
who was more productive to Der owner as brood
mare, and produced more runners and more winners
than any other in America, was bv the old I'M
ported horse Medley; his grea. grand dam by the i'm
ported Ccntine, out of Polly Williams the greatest
her great grand dam by the imported horse Spankcr
II VIII 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.
PERFORMANCES.
The Spring he was years oil, n ran match racc-
IN New York. over the Union Course for three thou
sand dotLarS. against Mr.. Vcrpancks Splendid out
OF Ariels dam, wiiich race lie won with very rreat
ut two heats.
The next week he ran for a sweepstakes over the
same course on Long Island, to which there were Sc
ven subscribers, 500 each, winch he won at two
heats Ill quick time, beating Rob Row Splendid &c
Both OF these horses. that he so easily beat have
since been winners on the Northern courses.
The hlil after he trained and run in bad
health. and of course in bad order, and was beat bv
Red Murdoch and Aricl--tho' in his then condition
he performed well.-Same fall he ran for a sweep
stakes over the Belfied course, mile heats. 5 sub
scubers, $500 each, which race he won with great
ease, beating Col. Wynns horse Merlin and Mr.
Garrison's Ivanhoe, &c.
Spring he was four years old, he won the Jocky
Club purse the Laurcnceyille COURSE four mile
heats 5000 without contest.
Next week he won the purse at New Market
three mile heats, in fine time and style beating the
truly formidable race mare Ariel without difficulty
at two heats, and running the second heat in 5m 4gs
Tins was the last race he started for having ss-
tanned an injury in his shouider-which always re-
turned on him when put in exercise. This viii ac-
count for his having been taken from the turf SO |
soon.l have better evidence however ofhis running
powers than his public races, rs he was trainad nrS
several times had private trials with Snow Storm.
Sally Walker and TrunlPator, that were certainly
good runners, and can say with truth that neither
OF 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 correctness Of this statement
