mare parting with her. The season will
commence on the first of March, and expire
the hrst ofJuly. Amuruth is provided with
an experienced Groom aud every facility
will be afforded, and every attention given.
10 prevent accidents, but no responsibility
for any.
Amaruth is beautiful black, nearly ff-
teen hands high, and is 9 years old this spring.
OF remarkable muscular power, sprightly.
easy and graceful in his motions, of very
commanding appearance, and is very docile,
ana readily governed, unless another horse
should appear near him, when he instantly
shows the high blood of his stock, becomes
loily IN his movements, restless and disposed
Ter action, but even then he does not lose his
attachments Tor his Groom. He has certainly
some OF the finest points Of any horse i ever
saw-his shoulders, back, loin, legs, brisket
and hoofS, all give assurance of finished horse
and indicate both speed & bottom
Ihls valuable animal was purchased in the
year 1923, in Tripoli, by Colonel Warning
Ton, the English Consul general at that city,
ofone OF a carivan OF Arabs from the district
OF Nubia, and was pronounced TO be of the
best mountain blood, said to be the purest of
Arabian.
Capt: Walcott Chauncey of the United
States Navy, purchased him of COL Warning
ton in Iripoli then colt, and | purchased
MN OF capt. Chauncey. No doubt can be
entertained ofthe purity of Amuruth's blood.
The fact that Col. Warrington Ca distin-
glIished sportsman in Engiand) purchased
MN 10 send 10 that country as stock horse.
speaks loudly of his strain and blood, and
should satisfy every person of his being a
full blooded Arabian. 1t is from this strain
OF horseo that all the celebrated race horses
both the United Statesa and England sprang.
L he history OF the Godolphn and barley
Arablans, ahundantly establish this fact. Is
1t then unreasonable to believe that Amuruth
morse OF as fine parts, Of equal size and
beauty with either ofthese two horses. and
OF the same line, may not produce many fine
racers, and valuable stock of this useful an
lmal, If crossed by the fine blood ofthiS coun-
try. am aware of the prejudice existing a.
galnst small horses in this country, but this.
like all other prejud:ces not predcated upon
solid objections, must and will yield TO proofs
The Godol phin and OAR
leY Arabian stock have sufficient size, and
they were both under the size of Amuruth;
is not this ofitself sufficient TO remove so un-
founded an objection? The history of these
two horses and their progeny will he given
hereafter
am SO perfectly satisfied of the purity
OF the blood of this horse, and to improve
the stock of this country, the place of my
residence, and the country not of my birth
but ofmy adoption, will give a premium
of ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS 10 him
or her who can produce the finest colt of his
get, at August Court, 1888, to be Judged by
dlslnterested persons chosen by me, who can
have no interest in the matter, having no
colts.
