 CERTIFICATES.
 CoLuMpIA, s. c. Dee. 15, 1881.
 I hereby certify that the sorrel stallion { now i'll the possession of the Rev. Ii. il. Cryer, and by him to be carried 10 Tennas- see, was bred by me, and gotten by Sir Ar chic; his dam, my fayorite and celebrated race brood mare Lottery, by the imported Bedford, her dam the imported mare AnVa-s lima by Anvil, out of Col. O'heliv's celcbra- ted brood mare Augusta, by his stallion F. clipse. See Turf legister for the lIadivree of Sir Archie and Anvalina, in fall. Lottery was a fine sorrel approaching to ehesnat, strong and well proportioned with fine action and admirably calculated for tie turf as a brood mare, and in her day had no equal on the Charleston turf. l 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. , mile heats, and then by accident. l. She proved. a first rate breeder after her brilliant success on the turf, as an evidence of 1t, her progeny would now command upwards of twenty thousand dollars. Her foals gen. eraily are strong and handsome, and all of them that were trained performed well from to 1 mile heats. Crusader l consider to be the largest and best of her sons: indeed I doubt very much whether he has his equal in England or America. His matehless size. blood, figure, performance and get, will rec ommend him to the notice of all Well-inforn ed breeders.
 At } years ofage l 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 Tot run hiin that season. During the whole of tais traf-H ing with Ariel, there was no time that he dld not eyince decided superiority over her.
 At years old ran him at Manchester for silver cup, 7 mile heats, against Sally Taylor, Maltidora, and Col. Richardson's ! Slr Archie Junior; the first heat Crusader dld not contend for, the course being very wet and soft, and he carrying lelbs. over his Welght, which was Wonby Sally Taylor; and the second heat lie distaneed Sally Taylor and Multillora, and the third heat Sir Archie dunlor.-lie then went to Charleston and met Ariel in the hands of Col. V Ynn in Fcontest of mile heats, beat her in fine style at two heats, his rider not being able to com mand him in either heat, after going 60O yards, sufficiently to make tile race aii inter- esting one to the public, and on that day he was, in myopinion, not equalled by any horse. m America; his stride when extended was from 9 to 26 feet,-During the same week he met Ariel again in the handicap race ; milo hGotc cfo fsitr in riding, evidently showing in their opinions his decided superiority over her; with this advantage, l 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 soft part of the course within 600 yards of the starting post. from which he re- ceived an injury in one fore leg and did not run out the heat.
 1 have bred from Sir Archie and manv of the most celebrated imported horses for the last Twenty-Five years, and giyeit us my de- cided opinion, that Crusaders colts are slI- perior to these have ever bred from any O. ther stallion. In him are united all the su5e rlor qualities for making the most valuable stock horse in America, either for the turfor the general purpose of the country.
 ] have huff interest in him and consent ed for him to goto Tennesse, where the spir- 1t of breeding fine horses is more. extensively encouraged than in South Carolina tt this time. The gentlemen of the West have the passion and the means of gratifying that laJl- dable desire of individual wealth and naton- al defence. His loss or removal, to me is ir- reparable; to say more of him would be su- periuous.
 Crusader comes to you with my best wish es for his success, and that he may prove an acquisition to your state. He was years old last spring.

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

 TBIs IS TO CERTIFY That we own half interest in chestnut colt, two years old last May, (the 18th, got by CRusADER- dam, Patty Puff, by pac- olet; And we do unhestatnglg assert, that we think him one of the very best two-year- olds we ever saw. His color Is rich--with- out white mark, except a star in his forehead. He is large, and handsome-and las taken the prize cup at Nashville, two seasons in uccession--competing with the reputed best bloods of the country. As further evidence of high opinion of our colt-we have entered him in a sweepstake, to come off the fall after three years old, at $500 entrance--and have bet our entry with Mir James Jackson, that
