PEDIGREE
Abe Lincoln was sired by the renowned
son of George N. Patchen, called PatcnenJr.
or Califonis Patehen, who was raised by
Joseph Regain of Burlington county, New
Jersey, sold by him to William Hendrlck-
son Of California, and by him taken 70 Cat
1fornia and kept for service until the spring
Of 1866, at which time he was brought back.
to New York upon q challenge OF S20UJ0 TO
trot any stallion in the United States (many
OF which paid him fcrfeit). During the SUM
mer 1856 he trOtted with the renowned Dex-
ter, and in the Fell of that year he was SOLO
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 colts,
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
cessive years, from 1854 TO 1859, was awarded
the first premium for the fastest trotting
mare at the Burlington County Fair, held
at Mount Holly, trotting a mile 10 Sc. She
also In the Fall of 1853 received the first pre-
MUM for the fastest trotting double team
at the Pennsylvania State Fair, held at
Powelton, being coupled with Fanny Ash
ley; time 2.5i and 2.5l. She was never train
cd and always driven in common condition.
Betsy TaylOrs sire was the thoroughbred
horse, Old Marksman, twho was bred by
Henry d. Phillips of Hunterdon county, n.
~ he was sired by Gabriel Oscar, and he by
governor Ogle's Oscar, Gabriel Oscars dam
SpDella, was by ST. Solomon, and q full
sister of the celebrated running mare Rox-
anna dam Aurora, by imported Honest
John, grandam zelipha, by imported Mes
senger Ielipha was also the dam Of Prize
Fighter and Honesty, 8 full sister to Dido,
the dam ofPollydore. Grasshopper, Eclipse,
and many other fast four-mile horses.
Ace Lincoln is q dark chestnut sorrel. full
10 hands inches high, smooth. strong and
ccmpactlT built and for style and action is
not surpassed by any other horse. He has
shown himself TO be a natural fast trotter.
At years and 4 months old when hardly
Droke to harness, he beat the celebrated
trOttlng stallion Rocky Hill in trial Of
speed on the Mount Holly Fair Ground.
The tolowing week he was entered at Tren-
Ton Tor purse of 500 for four year old,
where he was held to the half mile pole
and then let out and gaining a distance tr0t-
ted home in a slow jog in 2.52, distancing
Windsor (then five years old and trotting
under protest) and other fast colts. being
tas ter time than was ever made by any colt
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 will therefore be seen from the above
tnat Ace Lincoln, coming as he does from
the best son of George NJ. Patchen, and the
produce ola thoroughbred dam, both being
well-tried trottecs, together with his own
early performance, entities him to rank as
one ofthe best If not the very best stock
horse in the State of New Jersey at this time.
he has proven himself to be a sure foal-get-
Ter: his colts being large, handsome and
actve and almost universally fast trotters
Many OF his colts are selling at high prices.
further description is deemed unneees-
ssary, as 1t is presumed that persons wishing
TO raise good stock win call and Judge for
themselves before putting elsewhere.
n. B.-Good food and the best care will be
taken with mares coming from a distance,
but all accidents viii be at the risk Of the
owner. GEO. w. BINTLIFF.

Nettletop BY Duroc, and half sister To
American Eclipse. By reference to the
