which may be discharged by the payment of forty
dollars, when the mares are taken away or rc
fuse the hoySo; otherwise a note will be expect
ed for fifty do lars, payable on the first of january
ncXt--siXty five dollars insurance and one dollar
to the groom.
Good pastures are provided, and charge of
twenty five cents day for all mares left with
the horse, for feeding, &c.
G0hanna'S colts have not yet made their OPP
pcarancc Oh the turf, and it is with great diff
dence and hesitation that | undertake to speak
of their performances in fall training, lest
partlahy and intorcs. may have mised me, and
might thereby mislcad others suffice it to say
that as far as they have been tried by me, and
heard o! from others, they have fully or more.
Than equhlcd expectation; and feel the most
contldeht assurance that those who may desire
to breed from tins fine horse, Will not be dsap-.
pointed or dissatisfied with the result.
That he Is of the purcst and most genuine race
morse stock, is aucstcd by the fact, that there
has never been member of his family that was
not race nag of distinction, either of the pre-
$ Mt generation or as far back it can DO traced
with the exception of the imported mare, and
sue was never tried, beng purchased at two
years Old, exclusively for breeding. 1
1t IS not little encouraging to those wbos
nave heretofore bred from Johanna as well as,
'hoSe VINO may desire 1t III future, to be informed.
that challenge has been made TO run one Of.
his colts over the Norfolk course, next Spring. =
a@aiGst any colt IN the United States, for
Thousand dollars. This circumstances is men.Se
toned because IL surely is one well calculated to,
increase the public confidence in him as a STOCK
HORSE.
| Johanna served one hundred and fifty-seyen
mares last year, having the celebrated horses
Dir Charles and Timolcon as his competitors
winch furnishes the best evidence of satisfaction
WIN the appearance and promise of his colts.
| ihere is another recommendation that NAV,
WIN pfoprlety be offered for breeding from Co.,
han"a' Whch Is that his colts are So large a. fne
(as universally hdmiited) that such as should.,
net prove 10 be race horses, are sure TO compeu-s
sate thelr owners for the trouble and expense;
OF faislhe: circumstance which should not be :
overlooked in breeding, as in the nature Of
,hihgs' II Is uct likely that all can make race
| horses.
Gohanna, it is believed. is now standing low.
or IMAM any ether horse Of distinction in Virai-
MA; inns does not proceed from a disposition 10
uHuerou other horses, nor is it because his pro
| Pfntpr thinks he ought not to stand as hnh as
aHy othcr whatevcr but he does not feel usliiieds
IN raising to level with others. until there has
been some public exhibition on the part of his
colts.
