from that depression under which it
has unavoidably labored from succes

the hearts of its friends, the most pleas
ing hopes of future success and useful

so encreased as to render an assistant
necessary, parents and guardians are
assured that speedy measures will be
taken to provide a suitable character.

The Celebrated Imported Running
horse,
ROYALIST,
HAS commenced the season
at Edgefield court-house, S. C. and will
be let to maresot THIRTY DOLLARS
’ the season, payable by note the first day
; of January next, which may be dis
* charged by TWENTY DOLLARS
■ when the mare is first put or taken
j from the stand—FOßTY DOLLARS
| to insure a mare to be in foal, (if she
: is brought to the horse in due time)
• payable by note, and due as soon as it
is ascertained that she is in foal, or dis
■ posed of—ONE dollar to the groom,
paid at the stable door. We have pro
-1 vided a sufficient quantity of wheat for
ahy number of mures that may be left
with the horse, gratis—and will feed
with grain, pointedly as directed at 25
cents per day, to be paid when the mare
is taken from the stand. We have fur
. nished ttvo servants to attend the mares,
and every care shall be taken to give
satisfaction and avoid accidents or es
capes, but will not be accountable for
either.
ROYALIST is a full blooded racer—'
he was bred by his royal highness the
prince of Wales, was got by Saltram,
son of Eclipse by Marsk, who covered
at 200 guineas the season—his dam by
Herod, grand dam by Marsk, g. grand
dam by Blank, g. g. grand dam by Dri
yer> g> g- g- grand dam by Smiling
loin, g. g. g. g. grand dam by Oyster
foot, g. g. g. g. g. grand dam by Com
moner, Bec.
ROYALIST is full brother in blood
to Whiskey, Oscar, Whip, Bc c . anti it
is given up by the best judges that have
seen him, that his equal for beauty,
great strength, running parts. and vr
tion, can scarcely oe surpassed in En
gland or America. lie stands hearly
sixteen hands high, a deep maho£bny
bay, and as to his running performan
ces, the following will shew that they
are equal to any horse of his day.
PERFORMANCES.
In 1793, at 3 years old, the first time
Royalist started, he won 400 guineas at
New-Mat’ket, beating lord Grosvetuir’s
chesnut filly by Potoooooooo’s, out of
Marine, and the duke of Bedford's colt
by Highflyer, cut of Com gonde. He
started for the Craven stakes, and beat
Dare Devil, Agamemrhcn, Coriander,
Seagul, Golden Red, Fort William, and
six otheia. The next time he started,
he won a subscription plate fc 50
pounds each, beating Patriot, Cyrnbe
line, Brimstone, Robin Gray and seven
others. He also beat the duke of Bed
ford’s colt by Highflyer, and the duke
of Norfolk’s grey filly by Dungannon,
a sweepstake of 200 guineas each, at
four years old. He beat lord Egre
mont’s aged horse Seagul, a match for
200 guineas across the flat at New-
Market, in 1795. He beat Don Quix
otte, Galico, the duke of Bedford's
Cub, and Mr. Durand’s filly by Saltram,
for the Craven stakes—He walked over
the course at New-Market, for 1200
guineas, and no horse dare start against
him. lie also beat several others of
the most capital horses in England, too
tedious to enumerate, but may be seen
by the Racing Calenders and Sporting
Magazines, which upon a recent exam
ination it is found, that Royalist is far
the best racer that has ever been sold
. to America, except Whip and Buzzard;
from trials they had with the best hor
ses in England, they were all nearly
equal in speed and bottom, as the re
cords describe, beating all the best hor
ses of their day, except Whiskey.—
This advertisement will disappear in
five weeks, as it will give full informa
tion in that time.
We expect to keep the best import
ed horses at the above stand, or near it,
for several years.
