70 New York upon a challenge OF $4,000 to
troI any stallion in the United States many
OF which paid him forfeit). During the sum
t taer looo ne trotted with the renowned Dex-
ter, and IN the Fell fthat year he was sold
BY Mr.. Hendrickson for 100000 Since that
ume ne was purchased by the stock breeders
OF california and taken back there on ac
count OF the great superiority of his colts
including the celebrated trotting stallious'
trotters. '"0s
Abe Lincoln's dam was the celebrated !,

ACE Lincoln is dark chestnut sofrels full

IL VIII therefore be seen from the above
that Abe Lincoln, coming as he does from
the pest son of George NJ. Patchen, and the
produce OF thoroughbred dam, both being
Weil-trled troters, together with his own
early performance, entities him to rank as
one OF the best if not the very best stock

yer: his colts being large, handsome and
asscuVe, ana almost universally fast trotters
many OF his colts are selling at high prices.
A further description is deemed unneces-
sary, as tits presumed that persons wishing
70 raise good stock will call and Judge for
themselves before putting elsewhere.
