PROSPECTUS,

The increasing prosperity of the REGISTER is
gratifying to its owners but its circulation
isn't tenth part of what we intend it shall
be. The REGISTER is the highest authority in
the world on the true history and pedigree OF
the American road horse. As such,it deserves
and must get the very widest circulation. Its
Horse Department is worth many times its
subscription price - valuable, instructive,
entertaining. From all over the country we
have an immense amount of original matter
coming in tor this department.; and we ex-
pect to be able to give soon the history
and pedigree of the following famous hors-
his hitherto unknown; Old Pilot, st. Law
renee, Columbus, dam of Royal George, North
American or Bullock Horse; Lady Surrey dam
Of Henry Clay Tom Thumb, g. 8. OF Green's
Bashaw; Leonidas, reputed g. s. of Biggarts
Rather, and many others.
This is -eminently the kind of intorma-
ton that all gentlemen of intelligence desire,
and none such American can well afford to be
without this paper. 1t is the American gentle
mans paper for the history OF the horse In
all such information there is included much
local and general history. Indeed, the trac-
ing of some of these pedigrees seems very
similar to romance, in which one sees not
OF the horse, but also the life and beauty OF
the country through which he travels.
