The performances of ARGYLE upon
the Turf, have placed him in The very first
rank OF American Horses as Racer.
while those oil his sct ehtit!e him to an
equal s,nndins as Slui!.oG. He started
irst at Orangeburg, s. c.. ia jar. 1884.
and ran at Barnwell, Augusta, Macon,
Columbia and Charleston, TWO, three aud
four miles. heats. winning successiyely s
races, five Of them Of four mile heats, beat
ing Patsy Wallace, Ra,,lesnake, e timcs)
Lucy Ashton, Rushlighi, Bertrand, junior,
(lwice) Nenumus, &c. sc. He never
lost heat, and was rarely ifever pui up
10 his speed, until his extraordinary defeat
by John Bascombe, in April, 1886, the
circumstances Of which are lamiliarto ev-
cry one. Subsequently he was trained
and run with great success in Virginia;
and in May last on the Central Course al
Baltimore, after runnins lorihe first heat
ofthree miles, aGd losing il by a head 10 5
miuues seconds, he won the second heat
in 5 minutes, 40 seconds, being the bcsI
second heat ofihree miles recorded in The
American Turf, and the most brilliant per-
formance Of year surprising all others in
the richness Of its annals. During the
same week, and on the same course, Que
Of his daughters, kale Seaton, won the
great sweepstakes Of $1,000, beating a fine
field with great ease; such coincidence
being hitherto unknown upon the Turf.
ARGYLE stood but one season and TO
limited number OF marcss not many oil
which were thorough bred, yet his colts
have won nine out Of eleven races for
which they have been started, beating u,
unc, Two und three miles, The gel Of many
OF our best Stations, besides several i'm
ported colts, somo Of them in Grst-rale
time. Two Of bis get, Governor Butler
and Kate Seaton, are now unrivaled upon
The Turi'by any thing Of s'leir age,
The owners Of ARGYLE, in bringing
him back.,o lhc State in which Though
not (ouled) lie was first trained and gained
his earliest .aurels. present him with con-
fdence to the Public, as being in every
way, on account of his blood. sire and
form, his performances on the turf. 50 re-
niarkabIc for endurance, as well as speed,
aud tho extraordinary success OF his get,
worthy Of their entire appreciation.
