To corer in 1882, at Mr.. Wyatt Card,celrs stoJies
at Charlotte Court House-these three high bred
and thorough shaped StqlLons
THHHE noted and very superior horse JANUS, has
-A more of the blood of old JANUS (his e. great
grandsire) than any other horse living, and his ac-
ton surPasses that of any other animal of his spe
cles that the writer of this advertisement ever
saw, his dam FRENZY only excepted Through
her he has a close cross of old MEDLEY and ole
FEARNoUGHT, well of JANUS, and from his
grand dam he inherits the blood OF old MARK An
THoNY, JOLLY ROGER, and the imported mare Bon
Ny LASS, with another cross Of JANUs-and
through his great grand dam, he derives his de
scent fIom MoRToN's TRAyELLER and Janus. He
is ten years old.
JANUS was trained by VIM. r. Johnson Esquire
to whom reference may be had for the character
I Of the horse. He won several times-among
others at Tree HILL when Gen. La fayette was
thcre-but altho' real racer, with great speed he
was very unIucky onc-sometimcs being beat,
when he had won heat, by contcndrg each heat
with fresh horse. He beat the far-famed Hen
RY competitor of ECLIPSE, the two first heats out
OF five, OF one mile each, the best three in five;
and could he have been kept back, so as to throw
away heat, it is believed that he would have won
the race. Such the opinion (among othcrs)
| of that model of tho Old Virginia Planter
and Sportsman, the late EDMUND IRDY, Esquire !
But in this and in some other instances, his un-
governable temper caused his defeat. He is with
out bicmsh The public referred for his
character as a stallion, to the Rev. Robert Hurt
of Halifax, who kept him two seasons, and to Mr..
Cardwell, Inn-keeper at Charlotte c. H., who kept
HIM last season, and TO all who have bred from him.
Mr.. Randolphs two best foals yellow JACKET
and PUsnrIN) dropped in his extensive stud last
year, were both got by Janus; the first out of
Young Frenzy, and the last out of an sister
to RoANoKE. For the character of Janus, the pub.
