dam longer distance could be got) the above named
horse did tro the measured distance Of one half mile in
minute and twenty three seconds.
As the horse did rot the last part of the distance
the quickest we firmly believe, he could with proper
training be made the fastest trotter in the western
country.
We do hereby certify that the said Horse had not
been trained previous to that time for about five
months, excepting about ten days before this trial.
and we would recommend him to all persons wishing
