TOM TUNSTALL THIS thorough bred Horse will stand from this time until the first of HiSTl July ncxl at t!ie stab,e in the low’er \TO part of Au * usta . formerly occupied b y Bertrand, Jr. Terms—s3o the season, payable at the last visit; for three or mi re mares, owned by the same person, i $25 each: $1 for the groom. PEDIGREE. J. R. H. Acklin, Esq. of Huntsville, Alabama, certifies as follows :—“ Tom T unstall was foaled mine on the 29th May, 1831. His dam was High land Mary and her dam a full-blooded Archie mare; the sire of Highland Mary was old PacoleL Tom Tunstall was sired by o d Pacific, and he by old Sir Archie. This is as far as lam able to go, tho’ I am satisfied Tom Tunstall has descended from as good a stock as any horse in the United States.— He was a race horse of tlie first order, hut I lear will never be able to make a first rate race again, owing to hi? leg; it was injured when a three year old, in training, as I believe. By addressing Hae- i dy Crver, Gallatin. Tennessee, you can get a full pedigree of the dam of Tom Tunslall.” The same Mr. Hardy Cryer certifies thus :—“ Highland Mary combined as many or more rich crosses of thorough breds than any maie ever raised in Tennessee" She was got by the noted hop>e Pacolet, the son of imported Citizen ; her dam Rosey Carcv by Sir Archie; grand-dam Sally Jones by the'imported horse Traveller, called Big Ben or Charlemaine. (son of O’Kelle; ’s Eclipse, and one of the purest importations of tne last century;) great grand-dam by the imported horse Wrangler; great-great-grand dam O’Possum by imported Shark; great-great great-grand-dam by the celebrated American quar ter race horse, Goode's old Twigg; great-great great-great-giand-dam by imported Fearnaught; great-greal-great-great-great-grand-darn by Lee’s old Mark Anthony out of a mare by imported Mou key.” On the sire’s side it is deemed unnecessary to trace beyond Sir Archie. It is presumed none wi;l require a purer or better attested pedegree*— if farther recommendation be wanted, call and see Tom WILLIAM HOLMES, Agent. 11 fe* 22—trwfcwtf i PUBLIC SALES.
