event that dreE 30 great eoacourse together vas
the announcement bat she celebrated mere tioia |
Tempe. and the nsted CaliforEls mare PTlnoess /
were TO together in ihree mile trot over iAl5
courae in a race Of three mile heats, to Wegons
for the m-of Eve ;bousand dollars. At rough
guess however, the number present could not have
been less than tEeniy thousand.
II order TO post such Of our readers rs ere not !
aware 81 d. history Of these borses. VIC may oh
serve that Oneida county, somewhere near Utica is
claimed as the biTth-pacs OF Flora Temple. Il is
said Chat she vas brought from There 10 Duchess
county, and iually 70 this city, having been pre-
viouslg purchased for $50. TIE horse dealeaT Wbc
brought her she city Etid her for S36e and after
winning two or three races IN very good tuc at the
Red House and On Long Island, sha was solj for
$3.50. she changed owners frequently st incFoas-
ell prices, until eho vas fually sold TO Mr. Nc
Donaid of Baltimore Der present oWner, for 5000
She IS now between fourtees ard fifteen yeaTe cd,
ana when young vas 80 iutfGolable that 70 one
supposed that she world ever aake irctter. Il is
singular fact that the greatest exhibitions Of speed
have been shown b. rotters after they have passed
what is supposed 70 be the meridian If life ia Q
hoTae. L also worthy Of note that the most oeles
brafed irosters arc those which in their younger
days we're not remarkable for speed Although VIC
toro1B the contest yesterday still the time made
in The race added nothing to her lhuTes, her race
win Ethan Allen having filled the measure Of her
glaTy. Athree milc race is pretty long one, and
very few Of the voIsrs Of the prccen day arc able
70 perform cFeditably that distance The days Of
such horses az Dutehmsn, Awful, Americas, Rip-
tor, Confidence, Lazy Suffolk, &c. &c, appear to
have passed aBay; ard from WAIT Of proper in
fusion Of high blood cur troters seem 60 do best Of
short distances.
OF the marc Princess, Nc say but littIC, judg-
ing from her unsatisfactory performances yeserday,
but We viii do her owners The justice 70 cay that
there vas no attempt 70 mislead the public on their
part, es they informed every one who enquired Of
them thot there was no probability of her winning
che trot, g. she Was not an thorough condition fJT
three mile race the interval between the race and
her landing from Cslifornis not being sufficient TO
get her IN proper trim. OF her history, We may say
that she raised by Mr.. A u. Billings, il Clare
mont, New Hampshire, who sold her TO Mr. Gage,
Of Chicago, from whence, after several uDimpOEtzut
rAoez. n which she did not exhibit great deal Of
speed, she was taken 20 Now Orleans. After sue.
oeBEfu two mile rsce tksre, she was sold &c Mr.
Andrew J. Daniel vho took her TO California. Il
there sho zaiued 1eroeiebrity, beating The bot
