St. Lawrence is a beautiful Bay, with black legs, mane and tail ;

was the best trotting horse of his day, having, on two occasion.s, 
beaten the celebrated Jack Rossiter, and others. His dam was the 
fast trotting Mare, Dutch Moll— she by Morgan.

pose of improvmg our Southern Stock, and one of them having

have been at a very heavy outlay in procuring this fine Stock 
Horse, we hope the Planters will look to their interest, and bestow

offer the follow ing premiums : For the best Colt, six mouths old, a 
Pitcher valued at $50; second best, a Cup valued at $10.
