PERFORN.4NCES.
In the spring Of 1870, GohanHa, then 3 years old, was
engaged in a s~wcepstaEe at Laureuccyiile, Bfunsw ick
county, mile heats, $500 entrance, which lie won in 9
beats beating Lafayette, Janete, (now the favoritu of
New York; and BetsCy Archer.
His next race was in the same spring, over the Treo.HiI
course, mile heats, which he Won in 3 heats, beating three
others, and making the best time ever recorded at mat
course.
His rhrd race was in the fall Of 1925, over the New
Market course, 2 mile heats, which he won.
His fourth race was III the sp.ing of 1926, over the New
Market course, 4 mile heats, Jockey Club Pursc,O which
he won, beating tue two celebrated racers FligtiIia aud
Shakespeare.
After having a hard race there, lie went OVER 10 Tree
Hill, and on the following wsek started for the Jockey
Club purse, 4 nile heats, against fresh horses, and was
then the Only c~oHtendinG horse i'll the second heat, which
was won by Eficl-Betsry Richards and several others In
the race.
Shortly after this he became my property, since which
time, owing to the most i~ntoicrabe ndsina agemeat, he
has been uniformly unsuccessful, never, with ose exccp-
ton, having been in toIerable order for a race; at which
Time, his defeat was ortaSioutd as much by the uucx.

anita gonist. In this race however, he was second, ErieI
first, aud the other two both distaured.
Three weeks after, OavIng run in the mean time in
Norfolk, against Ericl and Sally Hope, 5 raiie heats, in
which he was second he ran in Nottoway, 3 mile heats,
against Enel, Sally Nlages and Rcdga unllct; i'll uiisi
race lie beat tue last two, and lost the race only by a few
feet which II was supposed by many he would have won
but for az a~ccident-timc, LIST heat 5 minutes 80 seconds:
"a heat D minutes DC seconds; being by many seconds the
fastest race ever run over that course.
His last race was over the 1rce-HhI COURSE, ;lig fall, 4
mile heats, against Sally Walker, when one Of his leaders
had given way before he started, and had been lame for
ten days; under such circumsra aces he was of course
hcaren by that justly celebrated mare; but. the race neves-
fheicss reflected high credit on him, as lie distancei The
only Other horse in the race.
Ihis mulch at least may Sc said, that he has never lost
a race ~ which he Started, when the heats were broken,
asmd his mile race over the Trec-HHl course being the fast
est that has ever been recorded there, furnishes tins noaI
iuccntestbIc evidence ofboth speed and boftem.
