PEDIGREES.
"BLACK PRINCE, Jr." is 15 hands and 3 inches high ; 4
years old last September. He was sired by imported Black
Prince, and dam by Old Wonder. I would rather have him
than any Jack in Tennessee. T. BARRY.
Gallatin Tenn., Nov. 14, 1859.
"ANDREW JACKSON" is black, with white muzzle and
belly; 15 hands and 2 inches high. 8 years old the 3rd of June;
by Commodore Rodgers"; dam by Sancho; grand dam by Big
Partnership; great grand dam imported. Commodore Rodgers
was sired by an imported Jack from Malta, out of an imported
Jennet from Malta. The Commodore has been the winner of
19 Premiums. Sancho was sired by imported Maltese Jack;
dam by Big Partnership; grand-dam by Sampson : great grand-
dam by Mississippi. Sancho was the winner of Premium at
Nashville Fair in 1850. Andrew Jackson was winner of Premium in 1854, at Nashville. I consider his Stock equal to the
Stock of any Jack in the world. J. SHELBY.
Fatherland, Nov. 3rd, 1856.
"Andrew Jackson" took the Premium at the Fair in 1856.
1858, and 1859, at Knoxville, and at Cleveland in 1858.
