PERFORMANCES.
III the spring of 1925, Gohanna, then 2 wears n6. was
engaged in a sweepstake at LaurenceyiIle, Bruuswick
county, mile heats, $500 entrance, which he won in 5
heats, beating Lafayette, Janeue, (uow the favor;te of
New York; and Bctsey Archer.
Ills next race was IN the same spring, over the Tree Hill
course, mile heats, which he won in 5 heats, beating three
Others, and making the best time ever recorded al that
course.
His third race was in the fall of 1875, over the New
Market course, 2 mile heats, which he won.
His fourth race was III the spring of 1895, over the New,
Market course, 4 mile heats, (Jockey Club Purse which
he won, beating the two celebrated racers Flirtilia and
Shakespeare.
After having a hard race there, he ven. over to T-oo,
Hill, and on the following week started for the Jockev
Club purse, 4 mile heats, against fresh horses, and was
then the only contending horse III the second heat, which
was won by ~Eriel-Bctsey Richards and several others in
the race.
Shortly after this he becs ne my property, since which
tune, owing to the most iDtolerable misma arement, he
has been uniformly unsuccessful, never, will, one excsn-
time, his defeat was occasoncd. as much by the unex-
amplcd bad state OF the course, as by the superiority OF his
antagonist. In this race however, he was second T&yel
first, and the other two both distanced.
Three weeks after, (having run in the mean time in
Norfolk, against lEriel and Sally Hope, 3 mile heats, in
which he was secondly he ran in Nottoway, 3 mile heats.
against IE.riel, Sally Magee and Redgaunllet; in whicl,
race he beat the last two, and lost the race only by a few
ieet, which 1t was supposed by many he would have won
nut for an accideni-time, 1st heat . minutes so seconds.
"a heat , minutes DC seconds; being by many seconds the
fastest race ever run over that course.
His last race was over the Tr,c-Hin course, this fan. a.
nile heats, against Sally Walker, when one Of his leaders
had gi1en way before he started, aud had been lame for
ten days; under such circumstances me was of course
beaten By that justly celebrated mare; hut the race never
tneless reflected high credit on him, as lie distancel the
only other horse in the race.
This much at least may be said, that le has never los,
a race in which he started, when the heats were broken
and his mile race over the Tree-IIill course being the fast
est that has ever been recorded there, furnishes the most
incontestible evidence ofboil, speed md bottom.
