Flexible is in fine health, life and vigor|
but having just crossed the Atlantic, and
then travelled to my stable, II VIII not o.
course, bt in my power TO travel him iron

call and see for themselves. In conse
quence of all these circumstances, nov
offer him to the consideration OF the pub
lie. at lower price for his services thad
his owner expected; lower than any horsd
of his performances, blood and pretensionI
in the United States and probably muci
lower than he will stand again
liz will be seen by the annexed extracts
from the most authentic periodicals O
England, that Flexible is horse OF th'
highest quality: in his performances oav
ing beaten some OF the finest horses on the
English turf, having given to horses o.
bis own age, great advantage in weight
and at the age Of three years, Flexible
iron the extraordinary n, mber OF nine ra
ces in that one year, aud amongst them
a four mile race with heavy weight
and his blood not only pure. but Of the
highest quality; his sire. Whalebone',

The dam of Young Camilla, COlibri, Ca:
Uterine, Sophia, Humming Bird, (he g.
grand dam Of Flexible,) Jerboa, was
most valuable ard famous brood mare, s.
her descendants have won as much and
acquired as high standingas any family OF
horses in the kingdom. 10 fact, Flexible
is as well bred as any horse 10 the world,
both for speed and stoutness, all his an
cestors being equal to any of their time,
without single inferior cross. 1t would
be hard to point out another pedigree as
pure and rich as this is. Flexible's dam

mare in the stud of the King Of Prussia.
