the race cv the Goodwoot cup may be found 10 the IA,
that aimee the year 1857 American bred horses have
entered the lists and commended for valuable prize
1t viii be generally remembered by reSders that

the race prevented doing, and could only

and the friends united with him In the enterprise were
much dsappoiotei at this unex pected result but III sue
cess only stimulated them TO persevere
