 " planted in rich ground, they will bear until frost kills 

 ; and are so hardy, that Ihey Irequently come up after

For Sale, 



The celebrated horse ROMAN, now standing at the 

 farm of Stephen Williams Esq. Northborough Mass. 



Roman is a bay horse with no white, got by Camillus; 

 dam by Eagle ; grandam by Trumpator ; g. grandam by 

 HigliHyer, out of an own (called here full) sister to sir Pe- 

 ter Tcazlo's dam. His £^. ^randara's (Crane's) blood is 

 identically the same as S'lr Peter's, she being got by the 

 same horse as Sir Peter (Highflyer); her dam and Sir 

 Peter's being own sisters ; that is — got by the .same horse, 

 (Snap,) out of the same mare, (Miss Cleaveland, by Rug- 

 lus.) 'This of course, establishes Roman's blood as the 

 highest possible so far ; Sir Peter's being confessedly the 

 most successful blood ever known upon the turf. His g. 

 grandaru's blood is then mixed with that of Trumpator; 

 which has been the only blood to be compared with Sir 

 Peter's of late years ; and has the advantage of being the 

 faitberest possible removed from it. Trumpator was the 

 sire of Sorcerer and Penelope, the most celebrated stall- 

 ions and brood mares of the last generation. Trumpator 

 was got by Conduclor, (own brother to Alfred, sire of 

 Tickle Toby, who died in Virginia;) dam by Squirrel. 

 The Trumpator luare's (Tambourine's) blood is then mixed 

 with that of Eagle. Eagle was got by Volunteer; dam 

 by Highflyer; grandam by Engineer. Volunteer was 

 got by Eclipse out of the Old Tart.ir mare ; and was own 

 brother to Mercury, the sire of Gobanna. Engineer was 

 sire of the sire of Messenger, who died in the vicinity of 

 the City of New York. Eagle was the best horse of his 

 year in the Derby ; was o^vn brother to Spread-Eagle, 

 who won it, and who came to Virginia, and died in Ken- 

 tucky a few years since, at the age of thirty. The Eagle 

 mare's (Lean Forte's) blood is then crossed with Ca-' 

 millus's. Camillus was got by Hambletonian ; dam 

 (Faith) by Pacolet. Hambletonian was got by King 

 Fergus; (sire of Beningbroufih, the sire of Orville; dam 

 by Highflyer. Faith was also the dam of Marcia and 

 Vesta ; each of them the best mute of her year. She 

 was got by Pacolet. Pacolet was never trained ; he wrg 

 got by Blank. He was the sire of a horse called Citizen, 

 who came to Virginia, and proved a most distinguished 

 stallion. He was also the grand-sire of the celebrated 

 Tennessean horse. Monsieur Tonson, who is considered 

 the best horse of his year in the States.
