 CERTIFICATES.
 CoLuxBIA, z. c. Dec. 15, 1891. 1 hereby certify that the sorrel stallion now n the possession of the Rev II M l Cryer, and by him to be carried 10 Tennes- see, was bred by me, and gotten by Sir Ar chic; his dam, my tavorite and celebrated race brood mare Lottery, by tine imported I Bedford, her dam the imported mare Anqa- lima by Anvil, out of Col. O'helly's celebra- ted brood mare Augusta, by lis stallion F. { elipse. See Turf i.eoister for the pedigree of Sir Archie and hnvaiina, in full. Lottery was fine sorrel approaching to chesnut, strong and we'll proportioned with fine action and admirably calculated for tine turf as brood mare, and in her day had no equal on the Charleston turf ] ran her twenty races, many ofthem mile heats, in which she was l always successful, having never been beaten but once, which was the first race she ran, mile heats, and then by accident.
 She proved first rate breeder after her brilliant success on the turf, as an evidence of It, her progeny would now commend upwards i ot twenty thousand dollars. Her foals gen erally are strong and handsome, and all of them that were trained performed we'll from }2 to mile heats. Crusader ] consider to be the largest and best of her sons: indeed doubt very much whether he has his equal in England or America. His matchlcss size, blood, figure, performance and get, will rec al +J., <,
 ed breeders.
 At 5 years of age trained him with Ariel, of turf noteriety, and intended to run him for the splendid cup and cover at Charleston, but it was not offered, and did not run him that season. During the whole of this train- ing with Ariel, there was no time that he did not evince a decided superiority over her At 1 years old ran him ut Manchester for silver cup, ; mile heats, against Sally Taylor, Multhora, and Col. kichardsorl's Sir Archie Junior; the first heat Crusader did not contend for, the course being very wet and soft, and he carrying l. lbs over his weight, which was ronby Sally Taylor; and the second heat he distanced Sally Iaylor and Multltiora, and the third heat Sir Archie lunlors-Ite then went to Charleston and met Ariel in the hands of Col. Wynn in a contest ot 4 mile heats, beat her in fine style at two heats, his rider not being able to com ! mand him in either heat, after going 6U0 yards, sufficiently to make the race an inter esting one to the public, and on that day he Was, ln my opinion, not equalled by any horse ill Ameriea his stride when extended was from g to 20 feet.-Durng the same week he met Ariel again in the handicap race 5 mile heats, the stewards giving her l2lbs. in riding, evidently showing in their opinions his decided superiority over her; .lith this advantage, was induced to run him, know ing that her speed could be brought up to him. and that l had nothing to fear from the contest but an accident. lie unfortunately struck in . soft part of the course within 600 yards of the starting post, from which he re- ceiyed an injury n one fore leg and did not ] run out the heat.
 l have bred from Sir Archie and many of the most celebrated imported horses for the last twenty five years, and give 1t IS my de- i, cided opinion, that Crusaders colts are su- perior to those have ever bred from any O. ther stallion. In him are united all the supe rior qualities for making the most valuable stock horse in America, either for the turf or the general purpose ofthe country.
 l have huff interest in him and consent ed for him to go to Tennesse, where the spir- 1t of breeding fine horses is more extensively encouraged than in South Carolina at this time. The gentlemen of the West have the passion and the means of gratifying that lati- dable desire of individual wealth and nation al defence. His loss or removal, to me s ir- reparabie; to say more of him would be su- periiuous.
 Crusader comes to you with my best wish es for his success, and that he may prove an acquisition to your state. He was s years old last spring.

 The Certificate of Col Richard Singleton was given when he sold the half of Crusader to H. M. Cryer of Tennessee, where Cru sader has many fine colts, which fact can show by letters in my possession.
