Muckle John,
WILL STAND the ensuing season at
his stable in Edgecombe county,
an i will be let to mares at TWELVE
DOLLARS "the single leap, TWENTY
Dollars the season, and FORTY Dollars
to insure a mare to be in foal with twenty-five
cents to the Groom in every in
stance A transfer of property 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
will be paid, but no responsibility for acci
dents, Sic.
Muckle John,
Was got by old Harrod, he by old Sir
Archie. Hai rod's dam by old Diomede,
his grandam by old Bellair, his g. grandam
by the imported Sir Harry. Muckle John's
dam by oi l Collector, his grandam by the
old imported Citizen, his g. grandam by
the imported 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. 1( any unprejudiced indi
vidua!, or one who is willing to do justice,
, will examine particularly the many good
crosses both of imported and American
stock, with which MUCKLE JOHN is so
deeply tinctured, they must arrive to the
conclusion that the whole of the tngredt
ents are perfectly compatible, and that he
is in the whole entirely free or destitute of
the least particle of adulteration. Hi3
pedigree alone is sufficient to eive him a
character, without the high authorities of
respectable sportsmen, or those who are
well acquainted with the most genuine
racing stock. Lapt. Harrison, of Virgi
ma, who is well known throughout the
tnion as one who has endeavored to im
prove the stock of horses in this country,
and 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 with much
pleasure that I can say, and which I have
tor some time believed, that Bulluck's
Muckle John should not stand second to
any horse in America, for never was one
in possession of more of the genuine stuff,
Jiz: Archie, Collector, Citizen, &c. oic"
Biack Kite it is true bag been beaten and
o has Southerner, they have also on the
oiher hand as can be seen by an examina
tion into the Turf Register, been successful-
As evidence that they are valuable
race horses, eight thousand dollars have
Wen offered for them and refused. Muckle
John has had but three colts carried to the
Jurf and all have proven to be good race
horses, possing both the essentials of speed
nd game. If the people of this country
should ever feel disposed to improve their
stock of horses, particularly thee of the
racing character, they ran never bate the
privilege of go doing at a more propitious
period than that of accepting the present
tavorable opportunity.
