PEDIGREE:
Abe Lincoln was sired by the renowned
son OF George N. Patchen, called PatchenJr.,
or California Patchen, who was raised by
Joseph Regain of Burlington county, New
Jersey, sold by him to William Hendrick-
son Of California, and by him taken to Cal
ifornia and kept for service until the Spring
OF 1866, at which time he was brought back
to New York upon challenge OF $40 600 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
including the celebrated trotting stations,
Sam Purdy, Alexander and many other fast
trotters.
Abe Lincoln's dam was the celebrated
trotting mare Betsy TAYLOR. who for five sue
the first premium for the fastest trotting
mare at the Burlington County Fair, held
at Mount Holly, trotting mile in 2 So. She

MUM for the fastest trotting double team
at the Pennsylvania State Fair. held at
Powelton, being coupled with Fanny Ash
ley; time 2.54 and 2.5I. She was never train
ed and always driven In common condition.
Betsy Taylor's sire was the thoroughbred
horse, Old Marksman, (who was bred by
Henry D. Phillips of Hunterdon county, N.
~ he was sired by Gabriel Oscar, and he by
spilella, was by S.r Solomon, and o full
sister OF the celebrated running mare Rox-
anna dam Aurora, by imported Honest
John, grandam Zelipha, by imported Mes
Fighter and Honesty, a full sister to Dido,
the dam of Pollydore. Grasshopper, Eclipse,

Abe Lincoln Is dark chestnut sorrel, full
Id hands inches high, smooth, strong and
compactl- built, and for style and action is
not surpassed by any other horse, He has
shown himself TO be q natural fast trotter.
AT years and 4 months old when hardly

speed on the Mount Holly Fair Gronnd
The following week he was entered at Tren-
ton for purse Of 500 for four year old,

under protest) and other fast colts, being
bred in the State of New Jersey at that age
The next Fall he was Injured in training
and has not since been trotted.
1t viii therefore be seen from the above
that Abe Lincoln, coming as he does from
the best son Of George M. Patchen, and the
produce OF 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
horse in the State of New Jersey at this time.
He has proven himself to be sure foal.get-
ter. his colts being large, handsome and
active, and almost universally fast trotters.
Many of his colts are selling at high prices.
A further description Is deemed unneces-
sary, as it is presumed that persons wishing
to raise good stock will call and Judge for
themselves before putting elsewhere.
n. B.-Good food and the best care will be
taken with mares coming from distance,
but all accidents will be at the risk of the
owner. GEO. W. BINTLIFF.

that Old Marksman's dam was Bella Badgers
Nettletop, BY Duroc, and a half sister to
