old next grass, and has won several races
in the vicinity Of Richmond. lie is
white and bay, or party colored horse,
and was got by accident out Of Veto, a
Southern cocktail mare. 1t is supposed
that he will be withdrawn, as he has de-
cided touch Of the Bolts, from sleeping
on the same straw with a southern poneyI
afflicted with this disease.
He has also been threatened with the
blind StdggerS, arising from an over. feed
of Graham breed, when standing near the
Post Office in this city last summer. He
is hard-moulhed horse, and must be rode |
with strong curb, as he is very apt TO
stumble. He is the sire of the smart pony
Bob, who broke down few weeks since,
when trotting in double harness with Irish
Repeater against Common Sense and Hail
Columbia. If Tee-Totum does not pay
forfeit, he will be rode by Black Dan,
he talking Jocky. This will depend,
however, upon his being found, as he has
,een absent in unknown parts for some
months. The last seen of him was one
Inc summer morning, when he left the
white stable, with his foglo at lbs eyes, a.
apparently in great distress, and With AMI

we're lettering about the place, "Where
