Privileges granted.-Any gentleman put |
| ting five mares of bis own will be entitled
to the fifth mare gratis. A company OF
gentlemen putting six mares, and each
one being accountable for all, will be en-
titled TO the sixth mare gratis. A mare
taking but once will be charged for the

at the time Of the second performance the

ing at my stable al the price of the season
year shall be settled at the expiration Of
his season; no mare will be entitled to
these privileges and advantages unless the
terms are strictly complied with. Gentle
men had better seize this opportunity TO
obtain as many colts from this celebrated
race horse as they can, for it may be their
last chance.
Flexible is in fine health, life and vigor;
but having just crossed the Atlantic, and
} then travelled to my stable, it will not OF
course, bC in my power TO travel him from
home where my friends are invited TO
) call and see for themselves. In conse-
J Iquence of all these circumstances, | now
, offer him to the consideration of the pub
j, lie, at lower price for his services than
} his owner expected; lower than any horse
: of his performances, blood and pretensionS
in the United States aud probably much
, lower than he will stand again
III will be seen by the annexed extracts
! from the most authentic periodicals Of
England, that Flexible is a horse OF the
highest quality: in his performances hav.
+, ing beaten some of the finest horses on the
j, English turf, having given to horses oil
8 his own age, great advantage in weight ;
a and at the age Of three years, Flexible
/ ICON the extraordinary n, mber of nine ra
! ces in that one year, and amongst them
a four mile race with heavy weight
and his blood not only pure. but Of the
highest quality; bis sire, Whalebone's
/ stock being considered universally in the
periodicals as remarkable for their racing
t qualities, and bis dam, after producing
race horses, was purchased for the King
j of Plussia's breeding stud

Flexible was got by the famous Whale
bone; bis dam Themis sister TO Incanta
; tor, by Sorcerer, her dam Hanna by Go
, hanna, out of Humming Bird, sister TO
Colohri, by Woodpecker-CamiIla by
Trentham Coqnette by the Compton
Barb-sistrr to ReguIu9 by the Godolphin
Arabian Grey Robinson by The Bald Gal
loway: Snake, out of Old Wilkes, daugh
Ter of Old Hautboy. W haiebone won the
Z, Derby. and 10 other races, at all dlstan,
ces, being a capital four mile horse, was
own brother to Nhisker, winner of the
Derby and several othe? capital runners,
and was inferior to no horse Of modern
times as a stallion, being sire of Cha'eaux
MaTgaux, the best four mile horse Of the
day, Camel, Spaniel. winner Of the Der
by, and many other first rate racers. Scr,
cerer was first rate racer and Stallion,
covered al 30gs., and was sire Of SmolPn-
) sko. winner Of the Derby, Morcl and Sor
Gerry, winners of Oaks, Soothsayer, win
ner OF the ST. Leger, and many others
Gohanna was the best mile horse of his
: time, and as a stallion was equal 10 any
horse they have had in England, at any
time. w oodpecker, Trentham, the Comp
ton Barb, Regulus, never beat, and the
best son of the Godolphn Arabian, Sc,
were all stations of the very first charac-
Ter. AL the crosses mentioned in FleXi-
hle's pedigree were horses equal 10 any Of
their time, if not the very best. Camilla,
the dam Of Young Camilla, Colbfi, Ca
Uterine, Sophia, Hummng Bird, (the g.
grand dam Of FleXible,) Jerboa, was a
most valuable ard famous brood mare, s.
her descendants have won as much and
acquired as high standingas any family Of
horses in the kingdom. In fact, Flexible
is as we'll bred as any horse in the world,
both for speed and stoutness, all his an
cestors being equal to any of their time,
without single inferior cross. 1t would
be hard to point out another pedigree as
pure and rich as this is. Flexible's dam
was also the dam of Evergreen, Tough
stick, Anna, &c, and is now a brood
mare in the stud ofthe King of Prussia.
