Abe Lincoln was sired by the renowned

son Of California, and by him taken 70 Cal-
ifornia and kept for service until the Spring
of 1866, at which time he was brought back
to New York upon a challenge of $4,000 to
trot any stallion in the United States (many
of which paid him Forfeit. During the Sum
mer 1866 he trotted with the renowned Dex-
ter, and in the Fall of that year he was sold
by Mr.. Hendrickson for $4,000. Since that
time he was purchased by the stock breeders
of California and taken back there, on &C
count OF the great superiority of his coftSs
including the celebrated trotting stations,
trotters.
Abe Lincoln's dam was the celebrated
trott1ng mare Betsy Taylor. who for five sue
cessive years, from 1854 to 1859, was awarded
the first premium for the fastest trotting
mare at the Burlington County Fair, held

Betsy Taylor's sire was the thoroughbred
horse, Old Marksman, (who was bred by
Henry d. Phillips of Hunterdon county, N.

IL Will 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 a thoroughbred dam, both being
well-tried trotters, together with his own
early performance, entities him to rank as
one OF the best If not the very best stock

themselves before putting elsewhere.
