The magnificence of the prize, pro

blood of the Adams seems to have
been more sanguinely relied on than
either his figure or his previous per.
fermancett for he is an obese, suut
buttockrd anima', aod his cxcrllence
in rsciog psr.akr not of downright turf
running, sucn as we now speak oi, out
rather of the light airy ambling of the
frg4us breed. It is wun diffiuliy
he can be kept in the track, so much is
he addicted to Ishing. He displayed
his propensity in this way in the year
low. When running againut some
horses called the Republican over the
course Called the Smite, he suddenly
re ired, plunged and kicked up threw
off nia rider, one Otis, whom he re
peatedly stamped, and forthwith dasl
rd into a rich grren clover field that
bordered the margin ol the course,
wherehe has ever since remained,
grazing on the fat of the land. His
ire was also vehemently addicted to
this practice of bolting. The Adams
has been frequently sent to Europe by
the Amuirin. jockiesj but it said the
expenses, intending the cutfits,kt. a I.
ways amounted to more than his. win.
nings He wss raited in Massjchu
ictts : or rather he was lorn there,
for he was trained in Europe, having
gone to that country when but eleven
years old, and remained there many
years under the guidance of some roj-
al grooms.
The Jacksok is a tall, slim horse

own state (Tennessee,) he has run with

splendid victory which he obtained
over tiie noted lit itith horse, the Pack
ekram ou nc Orleans TUar on the

him such ditingu'thed reputation.

Patirnham was expressly picked by

him the first round. It is universally
admitted, even by the knowing ones
of England, that the Jackson raa that
rare in exceeding quick time! The
Jackson hs also beaten the Creek; the
Seminole and the Florida, horses of
some note.
As to the Calhouk, he is a mere
colt scarcely bridle wise. His for

interests of the whole American sports
