PEDIGREE.
Hedtey's sire was Sir Hal, the best son o. the i'm
ported horse Sir Harry, by Sir Peter Teaze; 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. a
.Mediey's darn was old Reality, by Sir Archy, and
his avortc daughter; she the best racer in her
day, and is think the best breeder; his grand
dam was Marmaduke, Johnsons old Medley mare
who was more productive to her owner as a brood
mare and produced more runners and more winner
than any other in America, was by the old inn
ported horse Medcy his great grand dam by the i'm
ported Continel, out Of Polly Williams, the greatest
racer in her time; 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, than any stallion now known.
which in my opinion is the best blood.
PERFORMANCES.
The Spring he years old, he ran match race
IN New York. over the Union Course for three thou
sand dollars, against Mr. Verplanck's Splendid, out
OF Arcls dam, which race he won with very great
ease at two heats.
The next week he ran for 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
Bth of these horses. that he so easily beat, have
since been winners on the Northern courses.
The fall after he was trained, and run in bad
health, and of course in bad order and was beat by
Red Mnrdock and Ariel-tho' in his then condition
he performed well.-Sane fall he ran for sweep
stakes over the Belteld course, mile heats sub
scribcrs, $500 each, which he Won with great
ease, beating Col Wynn'3 horse Merlin and Mr.
Garrisons lvanhoe, &c.
Spring he four years old he won the Jocliv
Club purse over the Laurenceyille course four mile
heats, 5000, without contest.
Next week he won the purse at New No -ket
three mile heats, in fine time and STYLE beating the
truly formidable mare Ariel, without difficulty
at two heats, and running the second heat in 5m 4g
This the last he started for having srs-
tanned an injury in his shoulder-which always re-
turned on him when put in exercise. This will ac-
count for his having been taken from the turf so
soon.-i have better evidence however of his running
powers than his public rnces, as he was trained and
several times had 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
This should not have mentioned had not Arthur
Taylor and MIR. Badger both seen these trials and
know the correctness of this statement.
