PEDIGREE.
MEDlEI'S slrc WIS Sr Hal, the best son Of the
imported horse Sn lIaiy, BY Sr Petcr 1cazlc Halls
dam by the imported horse Saltram, by Eclipse, III,
grand dam by the imported horse Medley, - jim
Crack hs great grand dam by Young Aristotle, by
the imported Aristotle. Medley dam was Old Re-
alty, by Sir Archy, aud his lavor'te d u iter; she
was the best racer IN her q >, aud Is nov | tiihk, the
hes, breeder; ms grand dam was Marmadnhc. john
sons old Medley maze, who was more productive to
her owner as a brood mare, aud produced more run
ners aud more winners than any Other mare IN Amc-
uca. was by the old imported horse Medley ms
great grand dam by the imported Ccntlncl, out of
Polly Villains. the greatest racer III hef time she
by the old imported Janus, and her great grand dam
by the imported horse S%pankef. twill thus be seen,
from his pedigree, that he has more Medley blood
than any stallion now known, which, Ia my OPINION,
IL the best blood.
PERFORMANCES.
The spring he was three years cid, herana match
race IN New lork. over the tnIon Course, Tor S3,OOO,
against Mr.. Nerplauck's splendid. cut OF Ariels dam
which race he Won whh very great ease, ut two heats.
The next week he ran for aswcepstake over the same
course ON Long Island, to which there were seven
subscribers, 500 each. which he won AT two heats,
IN quick time. beating Rob Roy, Splendid, Nc
Both OF these ilorseo, thar hc so easily beat, have
since bcen winners ou the Northern courses. The
fall after, he was trained, aud run in bad health, and
OF course III bad order, and was beat by Red Muir
dock and Ariel-th0ugh IN ms then condition., he
performed we'll. Same tail he ran for a swcepstake
ovcrtle 6clicld Course, two mile heats, 1--we stbscfI-
bcrs. 500 each, which race he won with great case,
beating Col. W ynn's hose Merlin, aud Mr.. CARR
ou's iNanhoc, &c. Spring lac asiour years old, he
won the Jockey Club Purse over the la"lence,ile
Course, ! nile heats. SiJO, without a contest. Next
week he won the purse at New Market. Smile heats,
IN fine time aud style. beating the truly formidable
race mare ARIEL, without difficulty, Al two leafs, and
running the second heat IN ON. ips. This was the
last race he ever started ton, having sustained an N
Inry III his shoulder, which always returned on him
when put IN exercise. This will account for his hav-
inr bcru taken rom the turt so soon. have better
evidence, however, of his running powers than his
public races, as he was trained, aud several times had
private TRAILS with Snow storm, Sally Walker and
Tfumpctof, that were certainly good runners, and |
can say with truth, that hcithcr OF them ever locked
hun after running halt a mile. This ! should not
have mentioned. had not Arthur Taylor and Mr.. Bad
yer both seen these trials, and know the correctness
