PEDIGREE. J. R. H. Acklin, Esq. of Huntsville, Alabama, certifies as follows : —‘ 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 Pacolel. Tom Tunstall was sired by old 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 tear will never be able to make a first rate race again, owin«" to his leg; it was injured when a three year old in training, as I believe. By addressing Har dy Cbyeb, Gallatin, Tennessee,you can get a lull nedurree of the dam of Tom Tunstall.” 't he same Mr. Hardy Cryer certifies thus“ Highland Mary combined as many or more rich crosses of thorough breds than any mare 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 Charlemame, (son of O’Kelle.' ’s Eclipse, and one oi the P«re st importations of the last century,) great grand-dam by the imported horse Wrangler, great-great-grand dam O’Possum by imported Shark; great-gieat great-grand-dam by the celebrated American quar ter race horse, Goode’s old Twigg; great-gieat great-great-grand-dam by imported f earnaught; great-great-great-great-great-grand-dam by Lee s old Mark Anthony outof a mare by imported Mon key.” On the sire’s side it is deemed unnecessary to trace beyond Sir Archie. It is presumed none will require a purer or better attested pedegree.
