A true Cofiy from the Minutes. ABSALOM TATOM, for A. TATOM, Cl’k. 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. Edward Jordan, Randolph Bates, David Bates, Wm. Anderson. P. Apiil 8. 93
