 CERTIFICATES.
 CoLuMnrA, s. c. Dec, b, 1881.
 hereby certify that the sorrel stallion now in the possession ef the Rev. H. M. Crycr, and by him 10 be carried 10 Tenpes. sec, was bred by me, and gotten by Sir Ar- chic; his dam, my favorite and celebrated race brood mare Lottery, by the imported Bedford, her dam the imported mare Anga- lira by Anvil, out of Col. O'Kellg's celebra- ted brood mare Augusta, by his stallion E- clpse. See Turf Register for the pedigree of Sir Archie and Anyalina, in full. Lottery was fine sorrel approaching to ehesnut, strong and well proportioned with fine action and admirably calculated for the turf as a brood mare, and in her day had no equal on the Charleston turf. 1 ran her twenty races, many ofthem { mile heats, in which she was always successful, having never been beaten but once, which was the first race she ran, E 2 mile heats, and then by accident.
 She proved u first rate breeder after her
 liant success CT. the turf q! evidence af 1t, her progeny would now command upwards ot twenty thousand dollars. Her foals gen. erally are strong and handsome, and all of them that were trained performed well from < 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 matchless size, blood, figure, performance and get, will rac. ommend him to the, notice of all Well-inform- ed breeders.
 At 3yeafs of age trained him with Ariel, of turf noteriety, and intended to run him for the splendid cup and cover at Charleston, but 1t 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 eyince decided superiority over her.
 At years old 1 ran him at Manchester for silver cup, mile heata, against Sally Taylor, Multitiora, and Col. Richardson's Sir Archie Junior; the first heat Crusader did not contend for, the course being very wet and soft, and he carrying 10 lbs. over bis weight, which was wonby Sally Taylor; and the second heat he Gistaneed sally Taglor and NIultifiofa, and the third heat Sir Archie Junior.-IIe then wsnt to Charleston and met Ariel in the hands of Col. Wynn in a contest of mile heats, beat her in fine style ~ Hf' V 'ASIS LIE lldCA lIOb dDlc tt com mand him in either heat, after going 600 yards, sufficiently to make the race an inter- eeting one to the public, and on that day he was, in my opinion, not egualed by any horse in America; his stride when extended was from D to 36 feet.-During the same week he met Ariel again in the handicap race } mile heats, the stewards giving her 12lbs Tn riding, evidently showing in their opinions his decided superiority over her; with 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. He unfortunately struck in soft part ofthe course within 600 yards ofthe starting post, from which he re- celyed an injury in one fore leg and did not run out the heat.
 have bred from Sir Archie and many of the most celebrated imported horses for the l lust twenty-five years, and giyeit IS my ds- cided opinion, that Crusaders colts are su- perier to those have eyer bred from any C. thef st2llon. In him are united all the supe rlor qualities for making the most valuable 1 stock horse in America, either for the turf or the general purpose ofthe country.
 have huff interest in him and consent ed for himto goto Tennesse, where the spir- 1t of breeding fine horses is more extensively encouraged than in South Carolina ut this time. The gentlemen of the West have the passion and the means of gratifying that lau- dab1e desire ofindvidual wealth and nation al defence. His loss or removal, to nle is ir- l reParable; to say more of him would be su- periluous.
 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 givenwhen 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.

 THIS Is TO CERTIFY That we own half interest in a cheatnut. colt, two years old last May, (the l5th,) got by CRusADER-his dam, Patty Puff, by Pac- 1 olet. And we do unhesitatinglY assert, that 1 we think him one of the very best two-year- { olds we ever saw. His color is rich-with- l out white mark, except star in hsforebeld 1 He is large, and handsome--and has taken | the prize cup at Nashville, two seasons in 1 ccession-~competin with the reputed best i btoods of the country. As further evidence l of high opinion of our colt--we have entered 1 him in q sweepstaEe, to come off the fall after [ three years old, at S500 entrance-and have | bef our entry with MT Fampe Iark<ou that E
