SJBLI.Z: OF 

 FULL-BLOODED NORMAN HORSES. 



The subscriber having relinquished Farming, will 

 offer at Public Vendue, at his Farm in Moorcslovvn, 

 Burlington County, N. J., nine miles from Philadel- 

 phia, on Tuesday, the 20th of May next, his entire 

 stock of NORMAN HORSES, consisting of two im- 

 ported Stallions, Diligence and Buonaparte; two im 

 ported Mares— three full-blooded Stud Colts, one, two 

 and four years old— two full-blooded Fillies, three and 

 four years old — two Fillies by Diligence, from a half- 

 blood Canadian Mare, three and four years old, and 

 one Filley four years old, by Diligence, from a well- 

 bred English Mare, broke and kind to harness. 



The undersigned deems it unnecessary to speak at 

 large of the qualities of thgse horses, so much having 

 been said of this particular importation — which is be- 

 lieved to be the only one ever made to the United 

 States— in all the principal Agricultural papers. In a 

 few words, they are the Canada Horse, on a larger 

 scale, combining the form, activity and hardihood of 

 that well known race, with greater size and strength. 

 Diligence has b^en a remarkably successful Srtallioii; 

 he has been exhibited at the Fairs of the Pennsylvania 

 and New York Agricultural Societies, where he was 

 not entitled to compete for the premiums, but received 

 the highest encomiums from the Committees. At the 

 Fair of the American Institute, in New York city in Oc- 

 tober last, he received the Silver Medal of the Institute. 

 It is expected that a large number of the Colts of 

 Diligence will be on the ground on the day of Sale, 

 some of which, no doubt, may be purchased.
