HE MOST EXTRAORDINARY HORSE IN THE
N0RID.-There seems to be no doubt enter
Ialhed among experienced and skilled horse
men that the bay gelding Edwin Forrest
recently purchased by Mr.. Bonner for the COM
paratiyely moderate price OF Sl6,00o is the most
remarkable trotter in the world. AT Hartford
on the 22d OF August, he tr0tted Il mile in 2:14L
Ana yet he Is only seven years old and is not
supposed by any one TO have reached the top OF
his speed. The theory OF many horSemen tina
the fastest horse would be Ii large horse is sllS-
tanned by this early performance of Forrest.
He is sixteen hands high. AT the same time, he
IS handsome and well proportioned Some
thlngs when would seem eXtrayagant abOu
any horse are said about the performance q
Forrest, and yet old trotting men tell us they
are perfectly true. For instance, so careful a
paper as the SPIRIT 81 the Times, in an accoun
OF FORESTS trOtting at Hartford, says of one
quarter: - III ever tw0-minute gait was struck
by trotter ii was by Edwin Forrest during his
quarter" Either all the trOitng men must
nave lost their heads or this horse has no equal
