NJ TIE from the Merry Oaks. He will
Ge-sAA2nas stand at fifty dollars The season,
which may DC discharged by the payment of forty
dollars, when the mares are taken away, or re-
fuse the horse; otherwise a note will be EXPECT
ed for fifty dollars, payable on the first O January
neXt-sixty five dollars insurance and one dollar
to the groom.
Good pastures are provided, and a charge of
twenty five cents a day for all mares left with
the horse, for feeding, &c.
Gohanna's colts have not yet made their an
pearance on the turf, and it is with great diff
dence and hesitation that | undertake to speak
OF their performances in a fall training, lest
Partially and interest may have misled me. and
l might thereby mislead others; suffice it to saw
that, as far as they have been tried by me, and
heard OF from others, they have fully or more
than equalled expectations; and | feel the most
confident assurance that those who may desire
to breed from this fine horse, will not be disap-
pointed or dissatisfied with the result.
That he is of the purest and most genuine race
horse stock, is attcsted by the fact, that there
has never been a member of his family that was
not a race nag of distinction, either of the pre-
sent generation or as far back as it can be traced,
with the exception of the imported mare, and
she was never tried, being purchased at two
years old, exclusively for breeding.
1t Is not n little encouraging to those who
have heretofore bred from Johanna, as well as
those who may desire it in future, to be informed,
that q cnailenge has been made to run one Of
his colts over the Norfolk course, next Spring,
against any colt in the United States, for Ave
thousand dollars. This circumstance is men

increase the public confidence in him as u STOCK
HORSE.
Johanna served one hundred and ffy-seven
mares last year, having the celebrated horses
Sir Charles and Timoleon as his competitors,
winch furnishes the best evidence of satisfaction
with the appearance and promise of his colts.
There Is another recommendation that NAV
with proprlety be offered for breeding from Go.

las universally admitted) that such as should
not prove to be race horses, are sure to co!npeE-
safe their owners for the trouble and expense
OF raising: a circumstance which should not be
overlooked in breeding, as in the nature Of
things, 1t is not likely that all can make race
horses.
Gohanna, it is believed, is now standing low.
er than any other horse of distinction in Virgil
MA: this does not proceed from a disposition to
underbld other horses, nor is it because his pro
prietor thinks he ought not 10 stand as high as
any other whatever; put he does not feel justified
in raising to a level with others, until there has
been some public exhibition on the part Of his
colts.
Mares will be served at any time during the year,
and such as did not prove in foal from the last
season, may be sent again, and no charge made
for the services Of the horse, unless they should
prove in foal. JNO. NJ. Bolts.
