PEDIGREE:
Abe Lincoln was sired by the renowned
son Of George M. Patchen called PatchenJr.,
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 1865, at which time he was brought back
to New York upon a challenge of $40, 900 to
trot any stallion In the United States many
of which paid him forfeit). Dunng 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 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
the first premium for the fastest trotting
mare at the Burlington County Fair, held
at Mount Holly, trotting mile in &c. She
also In the Fall of 1859 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 2.54 and Isl. She was never train
ed and always driven in common condition.
Betsy Taylors sire was the thoroughbred
horse, Old Marksman, (who was bred by
Henry d. Phillips of Hunterdon county, N.
J.,) he was sired by Gabriel Oscar, and he by
Governor Ogle's Oscar, Gabriel Oscars dam
spiIella, was by SIR Solomon, and full
sister Of the celebrated running mare Rox-
anna dam Aurora, by imported Honest
John, grandam zelipha, by imported Mes
senger. Zelipha was also the dam of Prize
Fighter and Honesty, o full sister to Dido,
the dam ofPollydore. Grasshopper, Eclipse,
and many other fast four-mile horses.
ABE Lincoln Is dark chestnut sorrel, full
Id hands inches high, smooth, strong and
compactly built, and for style and action is
not surpassed by any other horse. He has
SHOWN himself TO be natural fast trotter.
AT years and months old when hardly
broke TO harness, he beat the celebrated
speed on the Mount Holly Fair Ground.
The following week he was entered at Tren-
ton for purse of 500 for four year old,
where he was held to the half mile pole
am and then then let out and gaining distance trot-
windsor then i've years old and trotting
under protest) and other fast colts, being
faster time than was ever made by any colt
Pred In the State of New Jersey at that age
and has not since been trOtted.
1t will therefore be seen from the above
tnat Abe Lincoln, coming as he does from
the best 500 of George NJ. 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
morse 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 1t is presumed that persons wishing
70 raise good stock will cal and Judge for
themselves before putting elsewhere.
N. b.-Qood food and the best care will be
taken with mares coming from a distance,
but all accidents will be at the risk of the
owner. GEO. w. BINTIIFF.
N. Rive omitted to state in the above,
that Old Marksman's dam was Bella Badgers
Nettletop. BY Duroc, and a half sister to
American Eclipse. By reference to the
Turf Register, Vol. 4, No I, page 36S, the ped
igree FOLD Marksman will more fully APP
