To Me Patrons oftAis ftogoagh bred hors,

|
 T persuade myself l have 1t in my power A- to tender the services of an animal that is entitled tosthe favorable consideration of ey- ! per f'enced sPortsmen, judicieHs breeders and refined connosseurs. Extraordinary size, beauty of color, and sleekness of coat, high Itomn and superior action, the renowned per- formances of his progenitors, Crusaders own ennobiing achievements, together. with the i unquestioned and ung0estioAabse parag ofhis 6fo6d, embolden me to recommend this horse, and to expect fattering decision from an enlightened public.
 Crusader is good chesnut, 16 hands 3 in- fehes high, standing on.shoes. To all, who have seen him, l might rest confident that his appearance, without | word from ne, was sufficient recommendation. To gentlemen | who have not seen him, and who, from re- moteHess of situation cannot see him, would I briefly say, he is excellent in all the points i ef the real eoHrser seapacious, well placed. tapered shoulders strong and well turned hips, muscular arms and thighs, broad strong hooks, clean fat legs, and precisely tie right set of the hind legs, and neat pasterns stand Ling on hoofs of the best form and ala}erieJ. He will stand, the present season. at Colum-. bus, Crawford county, one mile below ' an Baren, and will be let to mares at G25 ia the season each mare, l. $50 oid. $50 to insure. In case the mare Is traded before she is aseer- tained to be with foal, the insurance money will be required; and in all cases of insu- rance the moneyi is to be paid so soon as the marc is ascertained to be with foal, and 50 cents in eaeh case is to be paid to the groom. The season will commence the 10th of Feb ruary and end on the lst of July pastur- age Is provided for mares from distance, Hgratis--and they can be eofn-1ed, in separate lots, If required, at one dollar and twenty hTe cents per week. An excellent groom will attend the horse, and every possible care will be taken to prevent accidents and es- eapes, but will not be liable for any.
 PEDIGREE.
 Crusader and F3axe Weimar fail brothers, bred by Col. Richard Singleton, of breeding fame and turf celebrity, they were got by Sir out of Col. O'Kelly's celebrated brood mare Augusta, by Eclipse, 6se., d5c.
 Sir krchy, on all hands, Is acknowledge to be the. best, aud deservedIy the most pop ular horse in America, and fully on par with any one in England. Anvil was fully equal as a racer, to any of his day, and in 1tILt " CAC NuilsSQ tiiG fG&Y DCGL 414l41 forei ign. crosses and Eclipse has no equal in racing annals, whether they ran for heels, or ran for hottofa. l am aware. that some of the American Turf Register writers attempt to decry his stock. It is q pity gentlemen will detfact from his reputation, without ex- animation. He distanced at pleasure every competitor < no horse could live by his side fifty rods.'' Hewas familiar with the Bea- l .1 stones weight. But 1t IS said Bedford never won a race, nor could have won 8 race. Sup pose the fact were so, he came of Fairy. one of the best daughters of the invinclble High flyer. She won many good races and beat many good racers, among others Lady Tea gle. But he did win race of SG0 guineas, while in the possession of his breeder, Lord Grosvenor, who then sold him. He after wards won $50 and was sold and brought to Virginia by Col. Holmes at 5, and some say four years old--and who was his sire The renowned Dungannon, horse fully equal to Pot2os, the two best sons of Eclipse, and who were rather superior to any other horses of their day, both of them renowned on the Beacon course. And who were Bedlord's descendants beg you to remember Gal- latin, Capbearer, S5hyloek, Eolus, DuEgan- lfOI1s bu " ttOt OSGSll nti 1-Ot- tery, Nancy Air, Peggy, Eliza, &ec. Some of you have heard of Caroline, U neat little mare, for years at the head of the Nashville course, and not long since, Wild Bill, who flies like an arrow, and Piano, and Little Venus, who are game to the bone. Now, sirs, Diomede always excepted, what other iIn- ported horse since 1990, cum show sucharray of racers. Citizen is placed before Bedford. T. ! 41. 411 .t41a horse. His dam was Bedford's grandam, and who will believe, for a moment, that IEighhyer and Dungannon have deteriorated the breed. And Gabriel and Spread-Eagle and Chance have been placed before Bed- ford. Theywere good, acknowledge. Bring toremembrance their most distinguished get, decide fairly, and Bedford loses nothing by tie comparison; he rises inevitably in public estimation.
 PERFORMANCES.
 Lottery ran twenty-two races, many of them mile heats 1; never beaten but once, Emile race, and then by accident.
 Saxe Weimer was injured in training but in trials. not only before his owner, but W. Hampton ir., was believed to be equal to any horse in the country, ard his son Jefferson, and Daughter in Virginia, are fully sustain ing the family reputation.
 Crusader, though he did not run often, ran enough to show, that he was at the head Of the American turf. As Col. Singleton's cer- tifeate shows, he was decidedly superisr to the renowned < Campaigner," Ariel, both III heeis and bottom, and from thorough bred mares, of racing families, he will perpetuate his likeness, and from good country mares,
