THE FAST TROTTING STALLION, 
S T. LAWRENCE has just arrived per steamer Southerner and 
is at C. A. RED’S Plantation, four miles from Augusta, on the 
Savannah Road, and will be let to Mares at the rate of $25 the sea- 
son until the Mare proves wuth foal or parted with. 
St. Lawrence is a beautiful Bay, with black legs, mane and tail ; 
16 hands I inch high ; 7 years old, -with good bone and well propor- 
tioned ; weighs 1300 pounds. We believe him to be tautest trotting 
Stallion on the American continent, and, willing to back our Judg- 
ment, will match him against any stallion for $1000 a side to go to 
wagons, over LaFayette Course. 
His sire was the renowned trotting horse, St. Lawrence, who 
■was the best trotting horse of his day, having, on two occasion.*, 
beaten the celebrated Jack Rossiter, and others. His dam was the 
fast trotting Mare, Dutch Moll — she by Morgan. 
The proprietors having formrd a Stock Compauj’-, for the pur- 
pose of improving our Southern Stock, and one of them having 
travelled tlmough the Northern and Eastern States and portions of 
the British Provinces, instructed to buy the finest and largest Trot- 
ting Stallion that could be procured, unlimited in price ; and as we 
have been at a very heavy outlay in procuring this fine Stock 
Horse, we hope the Planters will look to their interest, and bestow 
that patronage which our undertaking merits. 
By way of encouraging Planters to take care of their Colts, we 
offer the following premiums ; For the best Colt, six months old, a 
Pitcher valued at $50 ; second best, a Cup valued at $10. 
Good pastures gratis, for all Mares from a distance, and grain fed, 
if desired, on moderate terms.
