MAEIA AND ALICE GRAY. 24:7 



two seasons as a stallion at Taylor's Ferry, Ya., at $75 ; in 1838 

 he stood at Charlotte Court House, in the same State, but is now 

 located on Long Island, in view of the scene of the never-fading 

 victories won by himself and the glorious race from which he 

 sprung. He is still the property of the heirs of the late la- 

 mented John C. Craig, Esq., of Philadelphia. 



Charles Kemble, the winner of the first heat in this race, 

 after running at all distances, and beating some of the best 

 horses of his day, is now enjoying his otium cum dignitate ; he 

 stands the present season at Chester-town, Md.
