distance (l60 yards)
Kossuth had made large season. Serving 81 Mares
and been in training only month suffering all the
while from a severe cold taken his passage from
Richmond to New York, and was evidently out OF
condition, that was advised to withdraw him, but
knowing his endurance | was determined he should
trot and had the qualification to him not only win
but make a under the circumstances creditabie
to any horse A few weeks subsequent to this race,
he made trial to A wagon, which in speed will com
pare with if su-prass that OF any trottins stallion
in the world. By reference to my bills 1t VIII be
seen that Kossuth belongs to trottine family-the
bes in America aad traces his blood for OF
half century th cough line of choice ancestors
all celebrated for speed and great endurance ana
goes back to aome of the purest Arabian and Engiish
horses. -,
Persons wishing 20 breed from Kossuth, would do
well to make eariy application he viii positively
not exceed the limit.
