 CoLUMrIA, S. C. Dec 15, 1884,
 hereby certify that the somel stallion now in the possession of the Rev. H. II. gryer, and by him to be carried 10 Tennes- see, was bred by nle, 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- lina by Anvil, out of Col. DiKelly's eelebra- ted brood mare Augusta, by his stallion E. elipse. See Turf Register for the pedigree of Sir Archie and Anvalina, in full. Lottery was . fine sorrel approaching to chesnut, strong and well proportioned with fine action and admirably calculated for the turf us 3 brood mare, and in her day had no equal on the Charleston turf. 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.
 Sine proved u first rate breeder after her
 
 it, her progeny would now command upwards of twenty thousand dollars. Her foals gen erally are strong and handsome, and all of them that were trained performed we'll from to 1 mile heats, Crusader 1 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 matchless size, blood, figure, performance and get, will rec ommend him to the notice of all well-inform- ed breeders.
 At3 years of age trained him with Ariel, of turf noteriety, and intended to run him for the splendid cup and cover at Charleston, built was notsolfered, and did not run him that season. During the whole of this train ing with Ariel, there was no time that he did not eyinee decided superiority over her. At years old ran him at Manchester for silver cup, , mile heats, against Sally Taylor, ALuitifora, and Col. Richardson's Sir Archie Junior; the first heat Crusader did not contend for, the course being very wet and soft, and he carrying I9 lbs. over his weight, which was wonby Sally faYlor;a and the second heat he distanced Sally Taylor and Alultifora, and the third heat Sir Archie Jrnior.--IIe then went to Charleston and met Ariel in the hands of Col. Wynn i'll a contest of 1 mile heats, beat her in fine style at two heats, his rider not being able to com mand him in either heat, after going 600 yards, sufficiently to make the race an inter- esting one-to the public, and oil that day he was, in my opinion, not equalled by any horse in America; his stride when extended was from 9 to 26 feet.-During the same week he met Ariel again in the handicap race , mile heats, the stewards giving her l2lbs. in riding, evidently showing iii their opinions his decided superiority over her; with this 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 iI a soft part of the course within 6O0 yards Of the starting post, from which lie re- celYed an injury in one fore leg and did not run out the heat.
 I have bred from Sir Archie and many of the most celebrated imported horses for the last twenty five years, and give it as my ae- cided opinion, that Crusaders colts are su- perior to those have ever bred from any O. ther stallion. In him are united all the supe rior qualities for making the most valuable, stock horse in AmeEiea, either for the turfor the general purpose of the country.
 ] have a hBlf interest in him and consent ed for him to go to Tennessee, where the spir- it 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 ofgratifying that lau- dable desire of individual wealth and nation al defence. His loss or removal, to me is r- reparable; to say more of him would be su- perfluous.
 Crusader comes to you with my best wish- es for his success, and that he. may prove all acquisition to your state. He wgs years old last spring.

 IHIs IS TO CERTIFY That we own half interest in chestnut colt, two years old last May, (the l5th,) got by CRUsADER--his dam, Patty Puff, by rac- olet: And we do unhestatingly assert, that we think him one of the very best two-year- olds we ever saw. His color is rieh--with- out white mark, except a star in his forehead. He is large, and handsome-and has taken the prize cup at Nashville, two seasons in uccession-conpeting with the reputed 6est bloods of the country As further evidence of high opinion of our colt--we have entered him in sweepstake, to come of the fall after
