The famous fis' dam
tie, was by ogle's Oscar, his grandam by
DR.. Thornon's imported Horse Clifden;
bis g. 6. dam by Mr.. Halls Spot; and bis
6. 6. 6. dam by DR.. Marshall's Hyder 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 en,ille him to IN equal
standing as Stallion. He started first at
Oranseburg. S. c. in January 1884, and
ran at Barnwell, Augusta, Macon, Colum-
bia, and Charleston, two, three, aud four
miles heats. winning successfully races,
FIVE Of them of four mile heats, beating
Patsy Wallace, Rattlesnake, (3limes) Lu-
cy Ashton, Rushlight, Bertrand junior,
(twice) Vertumnus, &c. &c. He never
lost heat, and was rarely if ever put up
to his speed, until his extraordinary defeat
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 at
Baltimore, after running for the fifsl heat
Of three miles, and losing it by head in S.
minutes 47-seconds, he won the second
heat in 5 minutes, 40 seconds, being the
best second heat of three miles recorded in
the history Of The American Turf, and the
most brilliant performance of year sur
passing all others in the richness of It's an
mails. During The same week, and on the
same course, one Of bis daughters, Kale
Seaton, won the great sweepstakes of
$1,000, beating fine field with giea, ease;
such coincidence being hitherto unknown

ARGYLE slood hut one season and TO
q limited number of mares, mol many Of
which were thorough bred, yet his colts
have won nine out of The eleven races 70
which they have been started, beating at
one, two, and three miles, the gel ofmany
Of our hest Stations. besides several inn
ported colts, some Of them in 6rst-rate
time. Two of bis get, Governor Butler
aud Kate SeaIon, are now unrivalled upon
the Turf by any Thing of their age.
The owners Of ARGYLE, in bringing
