has proved himself of the very best In the country
He has never got colt yet that not Of more than
ordinary promise, and out of four colts got by him
when years old, all could show a three-minute gait
at years old and one was sold for $1,000 The only colt

Esq is considered by all the best judges of speed to
have been the speediest marc ever seen on Long Is

against Lazy Bevins and for $1,000, against Rocky
HILL winning every neat with case and naAng the best

seconds. He can now show LOO gait although never

Extract from nHtes's Spirit, 1865.
YOUNG AMERICANS are satisfied that in thi,
young horse the breeders Of New England have stall
lion of very great value to their section Of the country
He comes on both sides from pure natural trottinl
families, both Of which remarkable for their stout
well as the speed of their stock.
Blonde and Young America are nearly identified In
blood, and think If the stallion had been trained til
now he would have been as fast as she is. We have
urged his to bring him back 10 the Island and
let him have season the course He believes with
that the horse would distinguish himself and would
fain give him the opportunity to do but his services
at the stud so highly esteemed, and his produce
have already displayed such fine points and such s.
perior speed and action that he cannot be spared from
the stud. He may however leave the neghborhood at
some date, and meantime, if we lived near him and
had good mare would certainly dip into the Grey
Messenger and Abdaah blood OF which he is the
fountain.
The breeders and gentlemen OF New England are in
yited to sec this horse and lis produce.
TERMS $50 TO INSURE.
Payable March LIST, 1870 All accidents at the risk of
owners
In 1866 the owner announced that he would every
year give a silver pitcher to be troted for by Young
Americas colts at three years of age and the first
will of this year lie will continue to give one
each year, incentive to breeders to bring choice
mares to his stallion.
