at ihe lollowmec prices, (to wit:) TWEN
i-rivr, UUL.L.AUS the season, and
FORTY Dollars the insurance, wtth fiftv
cents to the Groom in every instance.
Every exertion will be carefully observed
to prevent accidents, but no liability will
oe incurred it any should happen.
it is entirely unnecessary to make anv
comment upon this thorough bred horse,
is his Pedigree which is given below,
should, independent, of the fine nerfor.
mancesof the few colls of his set. on the
racing Turf, recommend him. to all un
prejudiced judges, as a horse that should
not as to genuineness of blood, stand infe
rior to none others in the State of North
Carolina. The many good crosses both of
American and imported stock, should iust-
ly entitle him to a reputation sufficient,
o entitle him justly io an exlensivapal
ronage, by all those, who are anxious to
raise race horses of never flinching game.
connected also with no small degree of
peed. With correct and proper croses
his colts cannot fail to figure as sulerdidlv
on the Turf as any other in America
for an account ot his colts7 races see lurf
Register and Spirit of the Times. II this
opportunity is not accepted by those who
are anxious to improve their stock, a
source of regret may hereafter be occasion
ed, as another so favorable may not be
Sjiven. A liberal deduction will be made
f any responsible person will make up a
club of live mares. The season will com
mence 1st March and end 1st July.
MUCKLE JOHN is fifteen years old this
spring, and now possesses all the liveliness
ot action as a colt ol 3 years old.
Pedigree.
MUCKLE JOHN was got by Old Har
rod, he by Old Sir Archie. Harrow's
dam by Uld Diomede, his grandam by Old
Bellair, his g grandam bv the Imported
Sir Harry. Muckle John's dam by Old
Collector, his grandam by (Jhl Imported
Citizen, his g grandam by the Imported
Union, his g. g. grandam by the Imported
liuckskin. It is unnecessary to trace him
further, as the above is sufficient to give
him a pedigree not surpassed bT any horse
in the country.
