Eohanna's colts have not yet made their ar,-
pearance on the turf, and il is with great Diff
dence and hesitation that | undertake. to speal,
OF their pcrtlrmances in a fall training, lest
partiaii'y and iuteres. may have mlsled ne, and
might thereby misCad others; suffice it TO say
that as Jar as they have been tried by me-, and
heard OF from others, they have fully or more
than equalled expectations; and Zee. The most
conidcnt assurance that those who may desire
to breed from this fine horse, VIII not be G.saD-
pointed or dissatisfied with the ,esalr-
mat he Is oil the purest and most GO uine race
horse stock, is attestcd by the fact. that there

not prove TO be race horses, are sure to Cu:upeE-
safe their owners Tor the trouble and CXpcrsc
OF raising: circumstance which should 10; be
overlooked in breeding, as in the nature of
things, 1t Is not likely that al can make race
horses.
Johanna, it is believed, is now standing low

MA: this does not proceed from disposition TO

prietor thinks he ought not to stand high -
any other whatever ont he does not feel Justified
in raising to level with others, until there las
