The full blooded Horse Sportsman. 



THE Subsciiber has secured tlie full-blootled horse 

 f porlsinan, to stnnd the ensuing season at the " Ten 

 Hills Stock Farm," commenting April 10th, and ending 

 August 10th. 



Terms— One Dollar to the Groom, and ten dollars for 

 the season, — rash, or a note on demand, or fifteen dollars 

 to ensure a mare in toal, by a conditional note at eleven 

 months. 



Good keeping for mares, at one dollar per week, at the 

 risk of the owners. 



Sportsman is not surpassed for spirits, and has as good 

 strains of blood, as any horse in this country. His dam 

 was a direct descendant from the best blood in England, 

 his sire, the full-blooded imported Arabian Horse ■' Bus- 

 sorah." It is with these strains of blood that England 

 has bid defiance to the tvorld on the /«;/and in the field, 

 for more than a century past. 



Sportsman's get are very piomising, and may be seen 

 on the farm. 



Satisfactory proof of the pedigree of this horse as given 

 below, is in my possession.

PERFORMANCE. 



At three years he won the sweepstakes on the Union 

 course, Long Island, against five horses. On the same 

 course, the same season, he won a matchrncf against 

 Mr. Stevens' " Rattler". In the autumn of 1827, he ran 

 upon the same course, and won at three heatSy (three 

 mile heats) beating Richard 3d from Virginia, Misfor- 

 tune and American Boy. He has never given way in his 

 limhs or wind. These are all his public performances, 

 and he never was beuteti.

Tall Meadow Oats Grass, &c. 



THIS day rdceived at the New England Seed Store, 

 50^ North Market street, by J. B. Russell : 



A fresh supply of Tall Meadow Oats Grass Seed, so 

 valuable on thin soils for either a hay crop or for grazing. 

 Col. Taylor, a distinguished farmer, says of it, " It is 

 the hardiest grass I have ever seen ; and bears drought 

 and frost, and heat and cold, better than any I have ever 

 cultivated. It keeps possession of the ground in spite of 

 severe grazing. It furnishes better grazing early in the 

 spring, late in the fall, and in drought, than any grass 

 known to me; and if cut before the seed ripens, its hay 

 is as pbasant and nutritive to slock, as any grass known 

 to me." — See also the opinion of Mr. Phinney, a most 

 judicious farmer, in the New England Farmer, vol. vii, 

 page 300.
