The subscriber congratulates the breeders of fine
horses, on the opportunity now offered them OF i'm
proving their stock, by n valuable cross.-That the
American and English horse has greatly deero-
rated IN the last eighty years. is fact that must be
coded by ell intelligent and candid sportsmen; and
that, that deterioration has been produced by the
practice of breeding AID it is called, (that is,
from the same s,ock,) it is presumed will also be
admitted. After the most dilgent inquiry and careful
investigations, believe the most successful raisers in
Virginia persuaded that casona resort to the
original stock of oriental horses is necessary to
preserve improved breed, as il was in the FIRST
instance obtain il; and far from the direct
not producing the finest animals both for strength,
speed and beauty, it is capable of proof and the his
tory of IN. English race horse will demonstrate it.,
that the best racers and breeders Enga' had,
were the sons and daughters, and at farthest, the
grandsons and grand-daughters of the Arabian: and
removed from these points. The first evidence 1
would offer support of the assertion 20, the esta
blished weights the English course at different
dates from the time Of the introduction of the barley
Arabian, until the death of the Godolphn Arabian;
which included period of about fifty years. They
were breeding extensively from oriental horses IN
GLIDING Barbs and Turks During that entire period,
their horses continued to improve in speed and bot
tom, while the weights were greatly increased; aged
horses then carried 1853 pounds, and with that they
ran four miles, from minutes twenty seconds, to
seven minutes fifty seconds; from that time, say from
l770 1775 to the days of Eclipse, they discontinued
the breeding from the Arabian, and their weights have
been gradually decreasing; on some tracks to 1lS
pounds; and none, believe, they higher than

successful on the turf himself or sire Volunteer
got Spread Eagle, Sterling, &C.; but Sterling and
Spread Eagle never got their own equal. much less
the equal Of Volunteer. Janus and Fearnought were
got by Godophin Arabian; during the days OF those
horses, Virginia famed for fine saddle horses
well distinguished racers now, 1t IS almost proven
bia that the blood horse of Virginia rarely produces
fine saddle horse: have we, believe, single tur
horse capable of running four miles with lob pounds
(he former weghts) in good time. Our best racers
made by young horses carrying light weights and
il is fact and one which is well worthy the conside
ration of raisers that with the present light weights
many of our first horses break down in training
very few remain logger than two years on the turf
Their bone, sinew, and muscle are not in proportion
to their size and weight-and their legs often give
way in training exercise. II is believed there is no
now in the United States single hIghblooded horse
that has not descended from the same stock, viz: tn,
Godolphn Arabian, and generally speaking, both b,
dam and sire. Can strong, active healthy and vigor
Gus horse be reasonably expected by propagatni
from such near come xoms! Every farmer knows tn,
