Muckle John,
rJLL STAND the ensuing season at
bis stable in Edgecombe countv.

DOLLARS the single leap, TWENTY
Dollars the season, and FORTY Dollars
to insure a mare to be in foal with twen
tyfive cents lo the Groom in every in
nance A transfer of properly forfeits
the insurance. The season will commence
the 1st day of March, and end the 1st of
July. A fair and liberal deduction will be
made if any responsible person will make
up a club of five mares. Every attention
Hill be paid, but no responsibility for acci
dents, kc.
Muckle John,
Was got by old Harrod. he by o IdSir
Archie. Harrod's nam fey old Diono-de,
Ins grandam by old Bellair, hi g. graiulain
by the imported Sir Harry. Muckle John's
dam by I i Collector, his grandam by the
old imported Citizen, his g. grandam by
the impotted Union, hisg. g. grandam by
the imported Buckskin. It is unnecessary
to trace him further, as the above is suffi
cient to give him a pedigree not surpassed
by any horse in the country.
REMARKS. If any unprejudiced indi
vidua), or one who U willing to do justice,
will examine particularly the many ood
crosses both of imported and American
tock, with which MUCKLE JOHN is so
deeply tinctured, they must arrive to the
conclusion that the whole of the ingredi
ents are perfectly compatible, and that he
in the whole entirely free or destitute of
the least particle of adulteration. His
pedigree alone is sufficient to give him a
character, without the high authorities of
respectable sportsmen, or thoehoaie
well acquainted with the most genuine
Racing block. Capt. Harrison, of Virgi
nia, who is well known throughout the
l-nion as one w ho has endeavored to im-
rove the stock of horses in this country,
nnd who has owned and had in possession
those of the greatest reputation, pronoun
ces Muckle John to be made up of the best
crosses of any horse now in America. The
following are his words: "It is wiih much
pleasure that I can say, and which ! have
lur some time believed, that Bullock's
Muckle John should not stand second to
any hoise in America, for never was one
in possession of more of the genuine stuff,
viz: Archie, Collector, Citizen, Lc. fcc"
Black Kite it is true has been beaten and
so has Southerner, they have also on the
other hand as can be seen by an examina
tion into the Turf Register, been success
ful. As evidence that they are valuable
race horses, eight thousand dollars have
been offered for them and refused. Muckle
John hag had but three colls carried to the
Turf and all have proven to be good rnce
l'orses, possing both the essentials of speed
and game. If the people of this country
should ever feel disposed to improve iheir
fctock of horses, particularly thoe of the
racing character, they can never have the
privilege of so doing at a more propitious
period than that of accepting the present
favorable opportunity.
