The following strong evidence Of his
high character, is taken from the Sporting
Magazine for 1850:
Having this year recruited his stable
with Lord Worcester's FELT, his Lord
ship has been a gallant winner-having
with this horse carried off both the great
Iradesmen's Cups at Chester and Liver
pool and a Cup or two elsewhere. i

Die like Felt" " That Felt is first rate
one, will not, ! fancy, be denied by any
onc"-pp. Go, $50. " He beat more than
three hundred horsesm
"FELT's career on the turf was so bril-
liant in England. that it caused his sire,
Hangar, "a capital four mile horse,) 10 be
brought from Ireland to England. where
he is now one Of their best and most p6pu-
lar Slalii0as. The last season he had "a
winning colts, that WOO ffty-two races,
and among them was Ellis, perhaps The
best Colt OF his year, who won the great
ST. Legcr and many other races. Hangar
is now covering mares by subscription at
about Sl25, and making full seasons too.
Felt is very like his sire in form. action,
and marks, but is good bay, while Ian
gar is chestnut Hangar IS descended
from the same stock as priam, they beng
out Of half sisters. Felt covered last year
about one HUNDRED mares at 500 season,
and 500 to insure, among them the cele-
brated Clara Fisher, Lady Lagrange, Gray
Gid, imported PHmua, imported ZlIIah.
imported Schemer, full sister of Ohio and
many other fine mares"
ask I to be borne in mind, that the
colts Of all the horses which we have i'm
ported that are old enough and have beon
tried fairly, are winners. and many OF
