The editor Of the American Farmer, an agricul-
turni paper published in Baltimore, having Wit
messed the performance Of this horse at the United
States Fair, in Richmond, and the Virginia State
Fair At Petersburg, writes of him thus:
But one of the very beat saddle horses We have
ever seen, was the superb dark bay stallion exhi-
bited by \. Berkeley, esd, Of Loudoun county,
Va. He was of the Telegraph breed, or, as it is most
familiarly known in Maryland, the "Tom" breed
certainly the best breed altogether for saddle
horses of easy. Yet rapid gait, in this country aud
particularly adapted, by their kind and gentle
dispositions, to ladies' use. We watched the rapid
pace Of Nj. 1erhcicy's stallion, and his sure and
firm, but easy gait, "a he was repeatedly ridden
around the ring, with the same admiration which
all who witnessed the performance warmly ex-
pressed, aud felt fully justified in the preference We
have always felt for the admirable breed for the
saddle. There are two gentlemen III Baltimore
county. whose stock of Tom horses are particularly
fue; but We have never seen any OF the breed 30
large and very desirable. as the stallion exhibited
