sy Wallace, RattIesnake, (three times,) Lady
Ashton, Rush1ight, Bertrand. jr., (swice,) Yer

rarely, if ever, put up 10 his speed. until his ex'
traordinary defeat by John Bascombe in 1886,
the circumstances of which are fami lar to every
one. Subsequently he was trained and run with
Rrea, success in Virginia; and in May, 1888, on
The Contra, Course at Baltimore, after running Tor
the first heat Of three miles and losing II, by
hend. in S minutes and 45 seconds he won the
second heat in minutes and 40 seconds, being
the best second heat Of three miles recorded Of
the American Turf, and the most brilliant per.
formance of year, surprising all others, in the
richness Of its annals.


During tho same week, and on the same course,
one of his daughters, Kate Seaton, won the great
sweepstakes of 5000, beating fine field with
great ease, such coincidence being hitherto un-
known upon the Turf.

1910, and TO limited number Of Mares, not many
Of which wero thorough bred !; yet his colts have
won nine out of eleven races for which they have
been started, beating at one, two and three miles
the ge, of many ofour best SlnIons besides several
imported colts, some of them in first rate time
Two Of his get, the "Governor" and Kate sea'on,

way on account Of his blood, size, and form; hi
performance Oh the Turf, so remarkable for endu
