PERFORMANCE ON THE TURF.


The performances Of ARGYLE on the Turf, have
placed him in the very first rank of American
Horses, as Racer, while those Of his &c, entities
him to an equal standing as Stallion. He start
ed first at Orangeburg, s. G.. in 1884, and ran at
Barnwe, Augusta, Macon, Columbia and Charles.
ton two, three, and four mile heats, beating Pat.
~ Wallace, Raltesnake, (three tines,) Lady
Ashton, Rushlight, Bertrand, jr., (twice,) Yer.
tummes, g., &c. He never lost heat, and was
rarely, if ever, put up 70 his speed, until his ex.
,raordinary defeat by John Bascombe in 1886,
The circumstances of which are familiar to every
one. Subsequently he was trained and run with
great success in Virginia; and in May, 1888, on
the Central Course at Baltimore, after running for
the frs, heat of three miles and losing it, by
beod. in 5 minutes and 45 seconds; he won the
second heat in minutes and 40 seconds, being
the hest second heat Of three miles recorded of
the American Turf, and the most brilliant per-
formance Of year, surprising all others, IN the
richness of its annals.


During tho same week, and on the same course,
one of his daughters, Kate Seaton, won the great
,weepstakes of $4,000, beating fine field with
great ease, such coincidence being hitherto un.
known upon the Turf.


ARGYLE stood but one season until the year
lS4O, and to limited number Of Mares, no. many
of which were thorough bred yet his colts have
won nine out of eleven races for which they have
been started, beating at one, two and three miles,
the get of many Of best Stations, besides severa
imported colts, some of them in first rate time
Two Of his get, the Governor" and "Knte sea'on,'
were unrivalled upon the Turf by any thing of
their age. |


Tbs owner of ARGYLE, in bringing him to
the West, in the Cherokee Nation, presents him
with confidence to the Public, as being in every
wn, on account Of his blood, size, and form; his
performance OH the Turf, so remarkable for endu.
rance, as we'll as speed, and the extraordinary sue.
cess Of his gei;-worthy of their entire approba.
