Bashaw, sired by SON Of Long Island Black Hawk,
her dam being by son OF Mambrino. This is her
second victory in one week. -
Topsawyer is very finely made horse, showing Q
great deal of good blood, but his pedigree Is un-
known. He Is good sized, stylish, rangy and has q
free way Of going, but he seems somewhat amiss,
though not lame, in his fore feet.
Frank Morgan was sired by Old Columbus out OF
Boston Girl very fast tr0tter, and is possessed Of
great many OF the peculiarties OF his dam. He Is
