which were thorough bred, ye, his colts
have won nine out of the eleven races 70
which they have been started, beating at

of our best Stations, besides several i'm
ported colts, some of them in frst.rare

The owners Of ARGYLE. in bringing

performances on the turf, so remarkable
for endurance. as well as speed, and the
extraordinary success Of his gel, worthy of
their entire appreciation.
