Privileges gra.ted.-ADy gentleman pat

then travelled to my stable, it will not O.

home where my friends are invited tC
call and see for themselves. In conse
quencc Of all these circumstances, | now
otfer him to the consideration Of the pub
lie. at a lower price for his services thar
his owner expected; lower than any horse
OF his performances, blood and pretension,
in the United States; and probably mucl
lower than he will stand again
III will be seen by the annexed extract:
from the most authentic periodicals Of
,Tngland, that Flexible is horse Of the
highest quality: in his performances hav
ling beaten some of the finest horses On the
English turf. having given to horses o.
his own age, great advantage in weight
and his blood not only pure, bat 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
