never lost a four mile race — thirteen fine races may be set down to his 

 <;redit, and though beaten, when 4 years old, by Fairfield, in a race of 

 three mile heats, he lost no reputation by the defeat. He will leave the 

 Tuif uninjured — sound in wind and limb — terminating his South Caro- 

 lina career, as a racer, by winning the Jockey Club Purse at Charleston 

 of $1,000 on Wednesday ; and on the following Saturday, making his 

 memorable exhibition of fleetness and game in the Handicap Race, as 

 reported above, three mile heats, beating Creeping Kate and Aratus — 

 on which occasion, in four heats, thrice round, (the Course forty-two feet 

 short of a mile,) carrying 120 lbs., he ran twelve miles, (less one hun- 

 dred and sixty-eight yards,) in 23 m., 22 sec. Bertrand is a fine blood 

 bay, full 16 hands high ; bred by Col. J. R. Spann, of South Carolina, 

 and foaled on the 9th day of April, 1820. He was got by Sir Archy. 

 out of Eliza, (own sister to the celebrated running horse Gallatin ;) Eli- 

 za was by the imported horse Bedford. We repeat, what we have al- 

 ready said of this distinguished Racer elsewhere, " Ihat he was one of 

 those horses who answer to a pull," and " come again," under any 

 amount of distress.

 phestion ; grand dam Lottery, by imported Bedford. Col. Singleton
