The famous Mons. Tonson, his dam This

DR.. Thornon's imported Horse Citizen {;
his g. e. dam by Mr.. Halls Spot; and his
g.g. &. dam by DR.. Nlarshal's Hyder Ally,

The Performances Of ARGYLE upon
the Turf, have placed him in the very first
rank Of American Horses as a Racer, while
those OF his get emile him to an equal
standing as Stallion. Hc started first at
Orangebure. S. C. in January 1884, and
ran al Barnwcll, Augusta. Macon, Colum-
bia, and Charleston, two, three. and four
miles heals, winning successively 8 races,

Palsy Wallace, Rattesnake, g times) Lu-
cy Ashton, RusIlighr. Bertrand junior.
(twice) Vertunnus, &c. &c. Hc never
lost heat, and was rarcl y if ever pun up
to his speed, until bis extraordinary defeal
by John Bascombe in April, 1886, The
circumstances of which are familiar to
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 hea,
of three miles, and losing il by a head in 5
minutes 47-seconds, he won the second
heat in 5 minutes, 40 seconds, being the
best secoud heat of three miles recorded in
the history Of The American Turf, and the
most brilliant performance Of a year sur
passing all others in the richness of its an
nails. During The same week, and on the
same course, one Of his daughters, Ka'e
Seaton, won the great sweepstakes Of
$1,000, beating fine field with great ease;
such coincidence being hitherto unknown
upon the Turf.
