 COLUMBIA, 5. c. Dec. 10, 1881.
 Thereby certify that the sorrel stallion now in the possession of the Rev. H. NJ. Cryef, and by him te be carried 10 Tennas- see, was bred by me, and gotten by Sir Ar chic; his dam, my tavorte and celebrated race brood mare Lottery, by the imported Bedford, her dam the imported mare Anva. lina by Anvil, out of Col. O,kelly's celebra- ted brood mare Augusta, by his stallion F. clipse. 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 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.
 She proved first rate breeder after her brilliant success on the turf. as an evidence of it, her progeny would HOW command upWaftis of twenty thousand dollars. Her foals gen erally 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 l doubt very much whether he has his equal in England or America. His matchlcss size, blood, figure, performance and get, will rec ommend hlm to the notice of all well-nform- ed breeders.
 At years of age trained him with Ariel, of turf notefiety, and intended to run him for the splendid cup and cover st Charleston, but 1t was not offered, and did not run him that season. During the whole of this tfain- ing with Ariel, there was no time that he did not evince decided superiority over her. At 1 years old l ran him at Manchester for silver cup, mile heats, against Sally Taylor, Multhora, snd Col. Richardson Sir Archie Junior; the first heat Crusader did not contend for, the course being very wet and soft, and he carrying 10 lbs. over his weight, which WAS wonby Sally Taylor; and the second heat he distsnced Sally Taylor and Naltifiora, aid the third heat Sir Afehie .iuHior.--He then went to Charleston and met Ariel in the hands of Col. Wynn in q contest of mile heats, beat her in fine style at two heats, his rider not being able to con- mand him in either heat, after going 6G0 yards, sufficiently to make the race an inter- esting one to the public, and on that day lie was, n lay opinion, not equalied by any horse in America; his stride when extended was tlom 25 to 20 feet.-During the same week he met Ariel again in the handicap race 3 mile heats, the stewards giving her l2l5s. in riding, evidently showing in their opinions nis decided superiority over her; with this advantage, was induced to run him, know ing that her speed could be brought up to him, dnd 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.
 have bred from Sir Archie and many of the most celebrated imported horses for the last twenty-five years, and give it as my de- cided opinion, that Crusaders colts are su- perlor to those l have ever bred from any O. ther stallion. In him are united all the supe rjor qualities Tor making the most valuable stock horse ln America, either for the turfor the general purpose ofthe country.
 have a huff interest in him and consent ed for him to go to Tennesse, 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 ir- 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.

 THIS IS TO CERTIFY That we own half interest in a chestnut colt, two years old last May, ithe l5th,) got by CRUsADER-his dam, Patty Puff, by Fac olet And we do unhesitatingly 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 star m hIs forehead. He is large, and handsome-and has taken the prize cup at Nashville, two seasons in ccession-competing with the repuied best bloods of the country. As further evidence of high opinion of our colt-we have entered 1 him in sweepstake, to come off the fall after three years old, at $500 entrance-and have bet our entry with Mir James Jackson, that our colt beats his.
