PERFORMANCES AND THOSE OF HIS
sSkYLARK is in splendid health, order and
condition, and will no doubt please your coun-
try better than any horse they ever had, saw,
or can see. He is rich bay, beautiful, gay, of
very superior action end power, strong enough
for Dray, and is 10. day the next horse TO Pr-
am, # not fully his equal. Many Of the best
Judges think Skylark's colts in this countrVRre
the finest they have ever seen in size, bone and
appearance, except perhaps Fly ldes colts; ID.
deed, fog size, color, game and sioutness, his
colts arg nearly all unequalled. He has had
three colts To- start in America--all were win
ners andks some Of them several Tim Is. OF their
runningsand winnings in Ireland and Eng land. /
cannot say enough; last year his colts won.nine
out Of sixteen KNEES PLATES in Ireland, more
than half Of all run for, and againstthe GET Of
Sir Hercules, Prism, Velocipede, Emilns, Eco
nomist, Sire of Harkaway, and all fhe other
stations nearly Of Ireland and England. He
has had only Three OF four colts carried over TO
England. ALL WERE WINNERS, and some
of them many times ON the English Turf IT,
will thus be seen they have been successful
wherever tred-his colts are very celebrated
for the saddle, the chase, OF as hunters, as well
Us on the turf. Many Of his colts have won at
four miles and four mile heats" Il
