ported horse Sir Harry, by Sir Peter Teazlc: Hal.
dam by the imported horse Satram by Eciipse his
grand dam by the imported horse Medley by jim
the imported Aristotle. :
.Medieys dam was old Reality, by Sir Archv and
his favorte daughter she was the beet racer in her
day. and Is now think the best breeder; his GRAND

al 'N4 init sue ny the ola imported Janus, and
ner great grand dam by the imported horse Spanker
IL VIII thus be from his Pedigree that he has
more Medley blood. than any stallion now known
winch IN my opinion Is the best blood.
