PEDIGREE.
.Nediey's sire Sir HAL the best son o the i'm
orted horse Sir Harry, by Sir Peter Teazie: Hal )
dam by the imported horse Satram. by Eclipse; his
grand dam by the imported horse Medley. by Jim
Crack, his great grand dam by young Aristotle by
the imported Aristotle.
.Nedtey's dam old Reality. by Sir Archy and
his favorite daughter she was the best racer in her
day, and Is now think the best breeder; his grand
dam was Marmaduke, Johnson's old Medley mare
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 inn
ported horse Medley; his great 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.
IL will thus be 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 years old, he ran match race
IN Now York, over the Union Course for three ttou-
sand doiIars, against Mr. Verplanck's Splendid, ont
OF Arels dam. which race he won with very great
ease ut two heats.
The next week he ran for sweepstakes over the
same course on Long Island To which there were So
ven subscribers, $500 each, which he won M two
heats in quick time, beating Rob Roy, Splendid SC
Both OF these horses. that he easily beat, have
since been winners on the Northern courses
The fall after he was trained, and run i'm bad
health, and of course in bad order, and was beat by
Red Murdoch and Ariel-tbo' i'm his then condition
he performed well.-Same fall nc ran for sweep
stakes over the Bel6ed course, ? mile heats s sub
scribers, 5000 each, which race he won with great
ease, beating Col. Wynn's horse Merlin and MIR
Garrson's lyanhoc, &c
Spring he was four years old he won the Jocky
Club purse over the LaurenCevilc course four mile
heats, 5000, without a 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 5un dq
This the last race he ever started for having
tanned an injury in his shoulder-which always re.
turned on hum when put in exercise. This will ac-
count Tor hls having been taken from the turf so
soon have better evidence however ofhis running
powers than his public races, as he was trained and
several times bad private trials with Snow Storm
sally walker and Trumpator, that were certainly
good runners, and can say with truth that neither
OF them ever locked him after running half mile
II ms should not have mentioned had not Arthur
Taylor and Mr.. Badger both seen these trials and
know the correctness ofthiss~sstement
