Timoleon, foaled in 1813, was got by Sir Archy; his dam, by im- 

 ported Saltram. He was bred by Mr. Benjamin Jones, of Greenville 

 County, in Virginia, and is esteemed as good a horse as ever run. He is

 them, in color, form, size and powers, to judge from descriptions that 

 have come down to us, are deemed very remarkable.
