Jolly Friar. the handsome son Of William
Land and the great producing mare, Mother
Jumps is in fine condition but still lame
from the effect of. being cut down in
race at Charlotte, n. c., in 1859. He Is
credited with a trial Of 2:24. made while
in training, but on account Of permanent
injury to q tendon in one Of his front legs
the glory which might have been his as
turf performer will have TO be gained in
the stud. With his individuality and rich
breeding and access TO harem Of mares
possessing those same requisites, l think
his future is bright with promise of sue
cess.

racing by the fall, when a meeting will
be given and some liberal purses offered.
The master of Meadow View Farm is
the moving spirit In the enterprise. and
the liberal policy which has governed his
course in various other affairs will pre-
vail in the present instance.
