            "YOUNG EMPEROR,
Will stand for mares this season at the stable of John Wilson, in Charlestown, 
on Mondays, and Tuesdays -- at Kreps's tavern on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and 
at Leonard Y. Davis's, on Fridays & Saturdays, at SIX DOLLARS the season, to be 
paid when the season expires, but may be discharged by the payment of FIVE 
DOLLARS within the season.  TEN DOLLARS to insure a colt, but parting with the 
mare, or not bringing her regularly to the horse every week forfeits the 
insurance money;  THREE DOLLARS the single leap, to be paid when the leap is 
taken.  The season has commenced, and will end the 25th of June.
YOUNG EMPEROR is a bright bay, eight years old this spring, sixteen hands and 
one inch high, strong and active, fit for either saddle or harness.  His sire 
was the much esteemed horse Emporer, a full bred Hunter, who stood two seasons 
in Chambersburg at Ten Dollars the season. A further description is deemed 
unnecessary, as his appearance will recommend him to all good judges.  The 
greatest care will be taken, but no responsibility for accidents.
WILLIAM  R.  DAVIS."
