good of their Horses, aided and aflifted by
an old and experienced OSTLER, whose
constant care is his attention to thole ani
mals pur under his charge.
JOSEPH ASHTON would further

favors of his old and numerous friends and
acquaintances, which (hall be most grate
fully received, as well as those of any new
ones shall be thankfully acknowledged ;
his charges are as usual, uniform and reg

can be afforded, and shall remain so, for
he is resolved nothing in his power shall
be wanting to make his house worthy
that attention the public has been kind
enough to give it, and by whom he has
been, and hopes to be supported as long
as his conduct shall deserve their coun
tenance.
Any number of gentlemen can

Week, Month, or Year, and as much
credit given as an honest man would wish

Bedford.
THE celebrated English Stallion BED
FORD, so famous for getting capital
racers, will ftar.d the ensuing season, at
Wade Hampton’s Plantation, near Co
lumbia, and be let to Mares at Fifty Dol
lars the fealon, and a dollar so his groom ;
the money to be paid in advance, or be
fore the Marcs are taken away* The sea
son will commence on the firft day of
February, and end the last of August.
The owners of such Mares as may not
prove in foal, will have another season
gratis, or thirty dollars returned. Exten
ftve rye and oat pastures are provided
for mares gratis; and such as may have
young foals will have separate lots* Corn
and oats furniflted at the market price,
and mares regularly fed once or twice, a
day, agreeably to the directions of their
owners; but as the pastures are l'o uncorn
i monly good, it is presumed the expence of
grain will be a ufelris one, except for such
mares as may have young foals.
Bedford was bred by Lord Grofvener,
and foalded in the year 1792. Fie is a
beautiful bay, sixteen hands high, highly
formed, and an uncommonly sure foal
getter. '
He was got by Dungannon ; his dam
Fairy, by High flyer; his grandam, Fairy
Queen, by Young Cade; his great gran
dam, Ruth’s Black-Eyes, by Crab; his
great great grandam, Worlock Galloway,
by the Curwen Bay Barb.
Dungannon, by Eclipse; his dam Af
pafia, by Herod ; his grandam Doris, by
Blank ; his great grandam, Helen, by Spec
tator; his great great grandam, Dappne,
by the Godolphin Arabian, Fox, Childers,
Makelefs, Taffolet Barb
Highflyer, by Herod ; his dam Rachel,
by Blank ; her dam by Regulus, Soreheeis,
Makelefs, D’Arcy's Royal Mare.
The great improvement in the breed of
horses in England for the last fifty years,
has been principally attributed to the
superior excellence of a few individuals
whose blood has given a new character to
the racing (lock in that country. Os
these the Godolphin. Arabian, King
Herod, Eclipse, Matchim and Hy flyer,
stand at the head of the lift.
It is not thought extravagant, to claim
for Bedford, the fame rank of diftinftion
in the United States. It is believed no
horse in the world ever afforded so many
proofs of superiority as a foal getter, at
so early an age. The number of his get
that have distinguished themselves, is
uncommonly great for his time of life;
and it is the more astonishing, when it is
taken into view that he has generally
flood, until the last two seasons, in some
one or other of the weftern counties of
Virginia, where there are few blood mares.
To prove that his get, in point of per
formance on the turf, stand pre-eminen
tly above any horses that ever appeared
in America, it will only be neceflary to
detail a few of their performances. But
it must be remembered that, until these, it
does not appear that any horse in America
ever ran a four mile heat within the eight
minutes.
The best performances that have been
published, are of Brimmer, Rosetta, Betsey
Baker, Shark, Commerce, Virago, Levia
than, &c. They have been from 8 m.
7 s. to Bm. 15 s. Some of the perfor
mances of Bedford’s get, are as follows
Ariadne, at Frederickfburgh, in o<ftober,
1801, with 3lbs. over her weight, ran a
4 mile heat in 7 m 52 s.
Gallatin, at Richmond, in OAober
1802, ran a 2 mile heat in 3m. 48 »• In
February, 1803, at Charleston, for the
second day’s Jockey Club Purse, he ran a
3 mile hear in 5 m. 53 s.
For the City Purse, 2 days after, be ran
the fame distance is 5 m. 52 s.
At Frederickfburgh, Oftober, 1803, f° r
the firft day’s Jockey Club purse, Cup
Bearer , 5 years old, ran the firft heat in
7 m. 56 s. and the second heat in 7. m.
50 s. This latter performance was en
graven by the judges on the winning post;
and the others are too well authenticated
to be doubted. Others of Bedford’s get
have given proofs of equal fieetnefs; but
to enumerate them all would exceed the
bounds of an advertisement.
