TWO very valuable horses, of the purest blood, and of superb figure, to wit: Dashall amd Powhatan, to be farmed out for this year, or a half interest in either to be disposed of on the following terms: either of them, for half the gross receipts from his earnings, the horse to be under the entire control and at the expense of the person taking him, (until 1st January 1839,) as to his terms of covering, location, & c. and reasonable diligence being used in making collections; or half of Dashall may be had for $400, and the half of Powhatan for $500, payable 1st January 1839, in Baltimore, the purchaser to defray all expenses, have all control, and take all the earnings during the rpesent year, and should either happen to die before the 1st of August, a deduction will be made in porportion. Thus a few mares, even at $20, would this year pay for the half interest in either. There is no reason why these horses should not get winners at all distances, by good Mares, as certainly as any stallions I know; nor can they fail, with their size, blood, bone, and figure, to get a valuable stock for all useful purposes.
Dashall, foaled in 1825, was distinguished, until he let down, on the turf in Virginia, where he was bred by Col. Corbin. He is a double Archy and perhaps the largest and most superb Archy stallion now living, except Gohanna. He was got by Archy out of Meg Dods, the full sister to Miss Mattie, to Columbia and to Wyan's Isabella, the dam of Picton.
Dashall's grand dam, Black Ghost, was by imported Oscar, out of A.T. Dixon's celebrated Pill Box, by Pantaloon, also imported. Dashall has not only been a successful runner himself, but is descended from famous four mile racers on both sides. His dam, Meg Dods, was sold at fifteen years old for twelve hundred dollars. He is a fine dark bay, full 16 hands high, and the colts from the few blooded mares bred to him have been highly distinguished. He is well calculated to get stock of the first description from bred mares for the turf, and from common mares for the coach or the cart, the saddle or the plough. In pedigree he is excelled by none, if equalled by any native stallion, while is size, form and color he is not to be surpassed. The get of Archy are all now aged, and have trained off, but the greatest number of dams of winners of four miles, and of 3 mile races in 1837 were Archy mares.
Powhatan, foaled in 1830, a beautiful dappled gray, by Monsier Tonson, out of the famous four mile mare, Iris, by SIr Archy, her dam by old , son of imported old Medley, imported Bedford, imported Old Shark, Arabian Selim, celebrated American Racehorse, Lee's old Mark Antony, imported Silver-eye, imported old Janus, imported old MOnkey, (see stud book). This is a horse of very splendid and commanding figure, full sixteen hands high. He gave great promise as a racer, winning mile heats and three mile heats from good fields, and broke down in running four mile heatrs against Post Boy and Henry Archy, being at the time in the lead and near winning the post, and in the opinion of many able to win the race.
