PEDIGREE. J. R. 11. Acklin, Esq. of Huntsville, Alabama, certifies as follows : — 4 Tom Tunstall was foaled mine on the 29th May, 1831. His dam was High land Mary .and her dam a full-blooded Archie mare; tne sire of Highland Mary was old Pacolef. 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 the first order, but I iear will never be able to make a first rate race again, owing to his leg; it was injured when a three year old, in training, as I believe. By addressing Har dy Cryer, Gallatin, Tennessee,you can get a full pedigree of the dam of Tom Tunstall.” The same Mr. Hardy Cryer certifies thus: —“ Highland Mary combined as many or more rich crosses of thorough breds than any mate ever raised in Tennessee^— She was got by the noted horse Pacolet, the son of imported Citizen; her dam Rosey Carey 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 the 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-great-gveat-great-great-grand dam 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 1 require a purer or better attested pedegree!— I If farther recommendation be wanted, call and see I Tom WILLIAM HOLMES, AgeaL J feb 22—trw&wtf GKOROIAXANKEEXS of the test quality for sale by the case.
