"fnols predict that in few years, Fell will
be one OF the best Stations in Amrtiea. l am
sure, from the appearance OF Felt cots here
add ia EagiaRd, Ro horse can boast Of better
or more promising progeny. They will be-, ia
my opinion, perg distinguished on abe turf and
under the saddle-ycs, every where. The
colts Of The imported horses arc winning ~ Our
stakes "a the best possible style aud manner.
Out Of 10 races IN Which the imported horses'
colts have started they have won q races. and
