Gentlemen wishing their mares fed on

Privileges grnited.-Any gentleman put
ting five mares of his 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
leap only, unless insured; if second time,
at the time of the second performance the

year shall be settled at the expiration of
This 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, bt in my power 10 travel him from
home where my friends are invited TO
call and see for themselves. In conse.
quence Of all these circumstances, now
offer him TO the consideration of the pub
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 and 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 horse Of the
highest quality: in his performances hav
ing beaten some of the finest horses on the
English turf, having given to horses OF
his own age, great advantage in weight !;
and his blood not only pure. but of the
highest quality; his sire, Whalebone's
stock being considered universally in the
periodicals as remarkable for their racing
qualities. and his dam, after producing
race horses, was purchased for the King
Of Prussia's breeding stud
