ARGYLE is dark brown horse, with
Out white, except star, fifteen hands anl
three quarters high; possessed of uucom-
mon bone and muscle, and form COM
bining with perfect symmetry, every es-
sential of Race Horse. He is now ten
years old, having been foalcd in Maryland
in the Spring of 1880. lie was sired by
the famous Mons. Tonson, his dam This
tic, was by Ogle's Oscar, his grandam by
DR.. ThornIon's imported Horse Cli(ilcn:
his &. &. dam by Mr.. Halls Spot; and his
g.g. g. dam by DR.. Marshall's iIyder Ally,
who was by Lindsay's Arabian.
The Performances Of ARGYLE upon
the Turf, have placed him in The very first
rank Of American Horses as Racer, while
those of his get cnlille him to an equal
standing as Stallion. He started first at
Orangeburs. S. G.. in January 1881, and
ran at BarnweIl, Augusta, Macon, Colun-
bia, and Charleston, two, three, and four
miles heats, winning successfully s races.
Eve of Them of four mile heats, beating
Patsy Wallace, Rattesnake, (3Iimcs) I.u-
cy Ashton, Rusl'lish', Bertrand junior,
(twice) Verlunnu$, &c. &c. lie never
lost heat, and was rarely if ever put up
to his speed. until his extraordinary defea,
by john Bascnmbc in April, 1896, the
circumstances of which are familiar 10
every one. Subsequently he was trained
and run with great success in Virginia:
and in May last on The Central Course al
Baltimore. after running for The first hca,
of three miles, aud losing il by head in D
minutes 4-scconds, he won the second
heat in mnurcs, 90 seconds, being the
best sccond beat of three miles recorded in
the history of the American Turf, and the
most brilliant performance Of ycas sur
passing all others in The richness Of its an
mails. During The same week, and on the
same course, one of his dau1 1hlers. Kate
Seaton, won the great sweepstakes Of
$1,000, beating fine field with great ease ;
such coincidence being hitherto unknown
upon the Turf.
ARGYLE Stood but one season aud 10
a limited number of mares, nol many Of
which were thorough bred, yet his colts
have won nine out of The eleven races 10
which they have been started, beating at
one, two, and three miles, the get otmany |
Of our best Stations, besides several i'm
ported colts, some Of them in hrsl-rate |
lime. Two OF ms get, Governor Butler !
aud Kate Sealon, are now unrivolIed upon
The Turf by any thing of their age.
The owners Of ARGYLE. in bringing |
him back to The Stale in which (lho' not
(oaIetl) lie was first trained aud gained his
earliest aurels, present him with conf
ience to The Public, as being in every way.
OH account of his blood, sire and form, his
performances on the turf, so remarkable
for endurance, az well as speed, ami the
success Of his get, worthy Of
their entire appreciation.
