Jones, Esq. we have been complimented with a most acceptable treat of seven brace of ortolan, killed at Cragg's ferry yesterday. The fatness of these delicious birds would not be credited by those who have never seen them. They are, in fact, entirely covered with, and appear to be but a lump of fat, very much more so than those which we found in the Philadelphia market two weeks since. There is a fine field for sportsmen who can rise early; and who that cannot ought to be called a sportsman? INDEX TO PEDIGREES AND RACES. It is no doubt known to most of the readers of the Turf Register, that the American Farmer has, for several years, (the last four particularly) been made the depository of a large number of valuable pedigrees and records of racing, of the blooded stock of the country, whether native or imported. Presuming that the American Farmer is sufficiently diffused over the country to answer as a book of reference, (certainly more so than the English Stud Book, which is so frequently referred to, a friend has compiled, with considerable labour and great carefulness) a minute alphabetical index or reference to all pedigrees and races heretofore noticed in the American Farmer. This will enable the readers of the Register to refer, in a moment, to any particular pedigree or race published in the Farmer, and will leave us to go on, in the Register, with the publication of all pedigrees and races not heretofore placed on permanent record, without crowding the Register too much, in the department of pedigrees. We shall, in the mean time, devote the promised space in the Register to all pedigrees not yet published, and to complete in it such as are left incomplete in the Farmer. The index of reference will be published in the next number. We take this opportunity of urging our friends, in all quarters, to send us all the pedigrees, or histories to be found, of the blooded stock, whether of the old times horses, or those of the present day, that they may be placed on permanent record. The views here explained, may be at any time modified, to meet the wishes of the patrons of this work. TURF REGISTER. Stud of Walter Coles, Esq. of Albe marle, Virginia.

Vingtun was by Diomed, out of the dam of Maria Maria's dam was by Clockfast, brother of Gimcrack, out of John Burwell's noted mare, Maria, who was by Regulus. Aurora's blood, figure and performances, under great disadvantages, have entitled her to rank with the first horses raised in Maryland in modern times. She is the dam of Gen. Irvine's colt, Zamor; exchanged with G. W. Jeffrey's, Esq. of N. Carolina, for "Grecian Princess." No. 2. G. filly, by Silverheels, out of Aurora; he by Oscar, out of Pandora; bred by Gov.

Irby's famous Dare Devil mare. Mr. Irby's mare, herself, of illustrious ancestry, was as celebrated for producing fine runners, as Sir Archy was for getting them. She produced ten capital runners, and among them were Woodpecker, Thaddeus, Contention, Burstall, &c. No. 4. B. f. by Monsieur Tonson, out of Grecian Princess, bred by G. W. J. Esq. and foaled at Poplar grove in April, 1829. . No. 5. B. m. CAROLINE WHITEFOOT, bred by Mr. Elisha Wilson, of Caroline county, and foaled in the year 1818.

His pedigree is given by Col. Miles Seldon and Wade Mogby, Esq. of Virginia. CLIFDEN, was a fine imported horse, and the same that won the great match race against Dragon, in England. Clifden was rode by Sir John Lade, and Dragon, by the Duke of Bedford. Signed, JAMES PARKER. Head of Chester, March 20, 1815. ECLIPSE was purchased some time during the Revolutionary war, of General Spotswood, by Col. Richard James, and sold by him to Col. John Harris of the Manakin town, he was got by the imported horse Old Fearnought, his dam was got in England by Shakspeare, and foaled after her arrival in America, the property, believe, of Col. Baylor, who I have been informed, raised Eclipse. The above is what I have understood to be the pedigree of the above horse. HORATIO TURPER. December 28, 1813.
