CLYDESDALE HORSES. In offering the following Brood Mares and Young Stock, Mr. Drew begs to state that many of them have stood First in the show-ring in England and Scotland, as well as at the Paris Exhibition ; and from the fact that he intends to devote his attention less to exhibiting than heretofore, purchasers may rest assured that the Stock submitted comprises the choicest animals of his stud, valuable for breeding purposes, and likely to take the highest position in the most impor- tant Agricultural Exhibitions of the country.

TKere is not a finer Filly than this in the stud, being full of quality, and exceptionally good in bone and hair.
