JOCA5SEE is fine blood bay, of fine form
and muscular power. He was sired by Mai.
of 1848-Waverly by old Bertrand, of Ken.
tucky; dam by Blackburn's Whip; Bertrand
by the renowned horse Sir Archy; his dam
Eliza, own sister to the celebrated running
horse Gallatin, by imported Bedford Jocas.
sees dam was got by Bedford, descendant
from the renowned Kirksey's colt, and he by
the imported Bedford; his grand dam by Phe.
by Leopard, and hc by the celebrated Quick.
silver, horse of great renown in his day.
From this pedigree it will at once appear
that Jocassce has descended from a pure an.
cestry. as much so any horse in the country
Waverly, the sire of Jocassee stands unrvaled
NJ the present day In this country, having OBJ
tanned premium in 1914 at Greenville, and
also at Newberry in 1876, also Mt Pendeton
and Anderson, being the best stallion exhibited
on each occasion.
Jocassec is placed so low in price MS to be
within the reach Of every man who is able tc
own mare, and in fact very low for horse o
his blood, and in form and figure, size, beauty
and color all combined can vie with any horse
Every person desirous of raising fine stock
will do we'll to patronise this full-blooded and
beautiful stallion.
