 CoLuMBrA, s. c. Dec. 15, 1891.
 hereby certify that the sorrel stallion l now in the possession of the Rev. II. NJ. ! Cryer, and by him to be carried to Tenness see, was bred by me, and gotten by Sir Ar 1 ehiei his dam, my favorite and celebrated 1 race brood mare Lottery, by the imported 1 Bedford, her dam the imported mare Anva- lina by Anvil, out of Col. O'Kelly's celebra- ted brood mare Augusta, by his stallion D. clipse. See Turf Register for the pedigree of Sir Archie and Anvalina, in full. Lottery was. a 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. l ran her twenty races, l many ofthem mile heats, in which she was 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 al evidence of it, her progeny would now command upwards of twenty thousand dollars. Her foals gen. orally are strong and handsome, and all of them that were trained performed well from , to mile heats. Crusader l consider to be the largest and best of her sons. indeed l doubt very much whether he has his equal in England or America. His matchess size, blood, figure, performance and get, will rec ommend him to the notice Of all well-inform- ed breeders.
 At years of age trained him with Ariel. of turf noteriety, and intended to run him for the splendid cup and cover ut Charleston, but it was not offered, and did not run him that season. During the whole of this tran- ing with Ariel there was no time that he did not eyince decided superiority over her.
 At 1 years old l run him at Manchester for silver cup, , mile heats, against Sally Taylor, Multitora, and Col. kiehardson's Sir Archie Juniorj the first heat Crusader did not contend for, the course being very wet and soft, and he carrying 10 lbs. over his weight, which was wonby Sally Taylor;an the second heat he distaneed Sally Taylor and Multihora, and the third heat Sir Archie Junior.-Ie then went to Charleston and met Ariel in the hands of Col. Wynn in contest of mile heals, beat her if fine style at two heats, his rider not being able to com- mand him in either heat, after going eco yards, sufficiently to make the race an inter- esting one to the public, and on that day he was, in my opinion, not equalied by any horse in America; his stride when extended was from 25 to 26 feet-During the same week he met Ariel again il the handicap race , mile heats, the stewards giving her 12lbs. in riding, evidently showngi their opinions lad hoy.. iu advantage, was induced to run him, know ing that her speed could be brought up to him, and that had nothing to fear from the contest but an, accident. He unfortunately struck in a soft part Tlle course within 600 yards of the starting post, from which lie re- eeiyed an injury in one fore leg and did not i run out the heat.
 l have bred from Sir Archie and many of i the most celebrated imported horses for the | last twenty-five years, and give 1t as my de- [ cided opinion, that Crusaders colts are su- perior to those have ever bred from any O. ther stallion. In him are united all the supc rior qualities for making the most valuable | stock horse in America, either for the turfor | the, general purpose ofthe country.
 l have hrlf interest in him and deonsent- ed for him to goto Tennesse, where the spr- l 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 fgratifying that lau- dable desire of individual wealth and nation al defence. His loss or removal, to me is ir@ reparable; to say more of him would be su4 perAuous.
 Crusader comes to you with my best wish es for his success, and that he may prove an acquisition to your state. He was 8 years old last spring.

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

 THIS IS TO CERTIFY 1 That we own half interest in a chestnut colt, two years old last May, (the l5tb,) got by CRUsADER-his dam, Patty Puff by Pac- olet: And we do unhesitatngly assert, that We think him one of the very best two-year- olds we ever saw. His color is rich--wlth- 1 out white mark, except star in his forehead 1 He is large, and handsome-and has taken l the prize cup at Nashville, two seasons in uccession-competing with the reputed best 6loods of the country. As further evidence [ of high opinion of our colt--we have entered I him in a sweepstake, to come off the fall after ! three years old, at S500 entrance--and have ! bet our entry with Mir James Jackson, that
