By referring to the English Stud Book and American
Turf Register, 1t will be evident TO any one, that a better
bred horse cannot be found in Epgland or America. In
addition to his fine breeding, he has great size, stamina,
and muscular power, which would be a desirable cross for
the racing stock offhe present day. All of his family eli.
Their in England or America, have been good performer.

With the promising appearance of Grey Boards colts
there is just reason to conclude, from good mares, his gel
will be able to compete with the get of any other stallion
There is a promise of sufficient ;size in his colts, should
they fail TO run, and will make valuable horses Tor other
purposes. JNO. b. l.
