PEDIGREE.
.Medleys sire was Sir Hal, the best s1n o" the i'm
ported horse Sir Harry, by Sir Peter Teazle; Halls
dam by the imported horse Saltram, by Eclipse his
grand dam by the imported horse Medley, by Jim
the imported Aristotle.
>.Medfey's dam old Renlity, by Sir Archv, and
his fnvortc daughter she the best rucer in her
day, and IS nowl think the best breeder; his grand
dam was Marmaduke, Johuson's old Medley mare
who was moro productive u her owner os broo.l
mare, and produced more runners and more winners
than any other mare in America was by the old I'M
lrted horse Medley; his great grand dam by the i'm.
ported Centmc out of Polly Williams, the greatest
nicer I'm her time; she by The old imported Janus ami
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
winch In my opinion rs the best blood.
PERFORMANCES.
Line Spring he was years DID, he match race
IN New York. over the Union Course for M,te htou-
sand dollars against MIR. Verplancks Spierf'iJ, out
of Ariels dam, winch &C he won with very rrcat
etse at 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, which he won ut two
heats in quick time, beating Rob Roy Splendid, &c.
Both OF these horses, that he so easily beat have
since been winners on the Northern courses
The tai! after be trained, and run in bad
hpalth and OF in bad order, and was beat bv
Red Murdoch and Aricl-tho in his then condition
he performed well.-Same fall he ran for sweep
stakes over the Delfeld course, mile heats ; sub
scribcrs, $500 each, which he won with great
Gsrrisons lvanhoe, &c.
Spring he was four years old, he won the Jocky
Club purse the Laurenceyille course four mile
heats, $780, without contest.
Next week lie the purse at New Market
three mile heats, in fine time and STYLE beating rhe
firmly formidable race mare Ariel. without difficulty
nj two heats, aud running the second heat in ON. 4Js
This was the last he started for having s,!s
tanned injury in his shoulder-whch always TO-
turned on him when put in exercise. This will ac-
count TOR his having been taken from the turf so
sDon.-l have better evidence however uis running
powers than his public races, as be 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 nfter running halfa mile
This Should not have mentioned had not Arthur
Taylor and Mr. Badger outh these trials and
know the correctness of this statement.
