DAVID TR0MPS SON.

4 persuade myself 1 have 1t in my power a ta tender the services of all anilnai that is entitled to the favorable consideration ofex- perenced sportsmen, iudicious breeders and refined eonnoigseurs. Extraordinary size, beauty of color, and sleekness of coat, high form and superior action, the renowned per formances of his progenitors, Crusaders own ennobling achevments, together with the unquestioned and uaquestioaa6le patritg ofhis bt00d, enbelden lie to recommend this horse, and to expect 6 aattering decision from ad enlightened public.
 Crusader is a good chesnat, IS hands 5 in- ches high, standing on shoes. To all, who have seen him, might rest confident that his appearance, without word from me, was sufficient recommendation. To gentlemen who have not seen him, and who, from fe- l moteness Of fsituationeannot see him, would briefly say, he is excellent in all the points of the real eourser eapaeieus, well placed, tapered shoulders strong and well turned i hips, muscular arms and thighs, broad strong hooks, clean flat legs, and precisely the right set of the hind legs, and neat pasterns stand | ing on hoofs of the best form and materiel. He will stand, the present seasorf, at Golum- bus, Crawford county, one mile below Van Buren, and will be let to mares at g25 n the season each mare, S1 S30 oaf. S5U to insure. Incase the mare is traded before she is aseer- tained to be with foal, the insurance money will be required :; and in all cases of insa- rance the money is to be paid so soon as the
 mare is ascertained to be with foal, and 50 cents in each case IS to be paid to the groom. The season will commence the 10th of Feb ruafy and end on the lst of July. Pastur- age is provided for mares from distance, gratis-and they can be corn-fed, in separate lots, if required, st one dollar and twenty ! five cents per week. An excellent groom will attend the horse, and every possible care will be taken to prevent accidents and es- capcs, but will not be liable for any.
 PEDIGREE.
 Crusader and Sake Weimar, full brothers, bred by Col. Richard Singleton, of breeding fame and turf celebrity, they were got by Sir Arehy out of Lottery, by imported Bedford, out of Col. 0'Nelly's celebrated brood mare Augusta, by Eclipse, ate., 65e,
 Sir Arehy, on all hands, Is aelnoWledgde to be the best, and deservedly the most pop ular horse in America, and fully on par with any one in England. Anvil was fully equal as racer, to any of his day, and in him were united the very best English and foreign crosses and Eclipse has no equal in racing annals, whether they ran for heels, or ran for bottom, l am aware, that some of the American Turf Register writers attempt to decry his stock. It Is pity gentlemen will detract from his reputation, without e1- ] animation. He distanced at pleasure every competitor; ( no horse could live by his side l fifty rods" Hewas familiar with the Bea con course, and was more than master ot i2 stones weight. But 1t Is said Bedford never won race, nor could have won race. Sup pose the fact were so, he came of Fairy. one of the best daughters of the invincible High flyer. She won many good Taeas and beat many good racers, among others Lady Tea gle. But he did win q race of 300 guineas, while in the possession of his breeder, Lord Groevenor, who then sold him. He after wards won f50 and was sold and brought to Virginia by Col. Holmes at ,, and some say four years old--and who was his sire The renowned Dungannon, 6 horse fully equal to PotSos, the two best sons of Eclipse, and who were rather superior to any other horses of their day, both of them renowned on the Beacon course. And who were Bedford's descendants l beg you to remember Gal4 latin, Cupbearer, Shylock, Eolus, Dungan- non, Sge.--you have not forgotten Fairy, Lot l tery, Nancy Air, Peggy, Eliza, &c. Some of l you have heard of Caroline, q neat little mare, for years at the head of the Nashville course, and not long since, Wild Bill, who 1 flies like an arrow, and Piano, and Little 1 Venus, who are game to the bone. Now, sirs. ] Diomade always excepted, what other im- | ported horse since l79G, can show such array of racers. Citizen is placed before Bedford. acknowledge the worth of that game little horse His dam was Bedford's grandain, and who will believe, for moment, that 1 Highhyer and Dungannon have deterorated the breed. And Gabriel and Spread Eagle 1 and Chance have been placed before Bed ford. TheyWere good, acknowledge. Bring remembrance their most distinguished get, decide fairly, and Bedford loses nothing by the comparison; he rises inevitably in public estimation.
 PERFORMANCES.
 Lottery ran twenty-two races, many of them 4 mile heats never beaten but once, l Emile race, and then by accident.
 Sake Weimar was injured in training, but in trials, not only before his owner, but "
 Hampton ir., was believed to be equal to any horse in the country, and his son Jefferson, and Daughter in Virginia, are fully sustain ! ia.. ing the f r.il,t r.y reputation
 Crusader, though he did not run often, ran
 enough to show, that he was at the head of l the American turf Ks Col. Singleton's cer- tificate shows, he was decidedly superlor to the renowned C Campalgner," Ariel, both III heels and bottom, and from thorough bred
 mares, of racing families, he will 2erpetuate lie 1ilonoSc aud from cood country mares.
