terms are strictly complied with. Gentle.
men had better seize this opportunity 10
obtain as many colts from this celebrated
race horse as they can, ior. it may be their
last chance.
Flexible is in fine health, life and vigor:
but having just crossed the Atlantic, and
then travelled to my stable, it will not of
course, bt in my power TO travel him from
home-where my friends are invited to
call and see for themselves. In conse
quence Of all these circumstances, | now
offer him to the consideration of the pub
lie, at Il lower price for bis services Than
his owner expected; lower than any horse
OF his performances, blood and pretensions
IN The United States; and probably much
lower than ne will stand again
II will be seen by the annexed extracts
from the most authentic periodicals of
England, that Flexible is a horse of the
highest quality: in his performances hav.
ing beaten some Of the finest horses on the
English turf, having given to horses Of
his own age, great advantage in weight :;
and his blood not only pure. but of the
highest quality; bis sire, Whalebone's
stock being considered universally in the
periodicals as remarkable for their racing
qualities. and bis dam, after produc ing
race horses, was purchased for the King
Of Prussia's breeding stud
JOSIAH WM. WARE.
