It now remains only in the general to say, she was winner of high prizes and a Kings plate, and that Dungannon often won overthe Beacon course, and won the Whip, the great object of aasbi- lion. H.

 CERTIFICATES.
 COLUMBIA, s. c. Dec. I5, 1881.
 Thereby certify that the sorrel stallion now in the possession of the Rev. H. M. Cryer, and by him to be carried to I'ennes- 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- liEa by Anvil, out of Col. O'Kelly's celebraz ted brood mare Augusta, by his stallion E. clipse. See Turf Register for the pedigree of Sir Archie and Anvalina, in full. Lottery was a fine sorrel approaching to chesnut, strong and well proportioned with fine action and admirably calculated for the turf us a brood mare, and in Der day had no equal on the Charleston turf. I 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.
 She proved first rate breeder after her brilliant success on the turf, as an evidence of It, iier progeny " command upwards of twenty thousand dollars. Her foals gen. orally are strong and handsome, and all of them that were trained performed well from , to 4 mile heats. Crusader l consider to be the largest and best of her sons; indeed 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.
 At 3 years of age trained him with Ariel, of turf noteriety, and intended to run him for the splendid cup and cover at Charleston, but it was not offered, and did not run him that season. During the whole of this train- ing with Ariel, there was no time that he did not evince decided superiority over her.
 At years old I ran him at Manchester for silver cup, ; mile heats, against Sally Taylor, Multifiora, and Col. Richardson's Sir Archie Junior; the first heat Crusader did not contend for, the course being very wet and soft, and lie carrying 10 lbs. over his weight, which was wonby Sally Taylor; and the second heat he distanced Sally Taylor and Multifora, and the third heat Sir Archie Junior.--He then went to Charleston and met Ariel in the hands of Col. Wynn in d contest of 4 mile heats, beat her in fine style at two heats, his rider not being able to con- mand him in either heat, after going 600 yards, sufficiently to make the race an inter i esting one to the public, and on that day he was, i'll my opinion, not equalled by any horse in America; his stride when extended wfs from 9 to 26 feet.--During the same w2sek he met Ariel again in the handicap race mile heats, the stewards giving her lL2lbs in riding, evidently showing in their opinions his decided superiority over her; wilfh 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 in soft part of the course s'ithin 500 yards of the starting post, from which he re- eeiVed an injury in one fore leg and did not run out the heat.
 l have bred from Sir Archa and many of the most celebrated imported horses for the last twenty years, and give it as my de- cided opinion, that Crusaders colts are su- perior to those l have egef bred from any O.
  ther stallion. In him are united all the snpe rior qualities for making the most valuable l stock horse in America, either for the turfor the general purpose of the country.
 have hplf 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 at this time. The gentlemen of the West have the passion and the means of ofgratifying that lau- dable desire of individual wealth and nation al defence. His loss or removal, to he Is IT, 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 an acquisition to your state. He was years old last spring.
