- All--Fours, : a first rate English stud horse--imported to America by Abraham Skinner & Co. will stand at the stable of the subscriber in Deerfield this season, and will be put to mares at ten dollars each, or a sure foal may be agreed for.--All-Fours was got by All-Fours, his dam by Cade, grand dam by Crab. His pedigree may be seen at large at the stable where he stands. He is sixteen and half hands high--is a beautiful chesnut, and for beauty and elegance is not exceeded by any horse in America, and covers lower than any horse of his quality. He is a sure foal getter, and his colts fine. The subscriber being anxious to have a good breed of horses propagated in this and the adjacent towns and to accommodate his old customers and friends, has procured All-Fours for this season, and flatters himself that they will be perfectly satisfied in the horse. He has covered at East-Hartford two seasons at £7. a mare, and had a full supply of mares at that price, but on seeing his colts the second season he was crowded with mares. Money being scarce is the only reason of setting him so low this season.
