Dexter Dead.

Dexter, probably the most famous
trotting horse that ever contested for a
prize ON the American turf, died at the
stable Of his owner, Robert Bonner, Sat
urday morning at o'clock his remains
were removed to Mr.. Boomers farm,
near Tarrytown where the flvorite old
horse was buried.
Dexter was just 80 years old. He was
By Hamiltonian out of American Star,
and was by blood related to both Maud
s. and Jay Eye See. When four years
old he was sold for $500 to George b.
Alley, Of this city. Three years later
Alley sold him to Mr.. Fawcett, of Chi
cago, for $4,000. During that year he
made his famous record, 2.l7l over the
track at Buffalo, which stood for SO long
as the best record ever made by trot-
ting horse.
just after this race he was bought by
Mr.. Robert Bonner for $4,000, the high
est price ever paid at that time for a
horse in this country. His public career
closed with his purchase by Mr.. Bonner!
Since he became Mr.. Bonner's property
he has trotled mile in 2:16 in an exhi-
bition trial, but his official record stands
as 2l74.
Dexter was brown gelding, stood 15l
hands high, and weighed when in trot-
ting form about 900 pounds. L.
pied in his day the.ssns position on the
.lo...1s : ~ which Lexington did on the
running turf. Up to two years ago he
was used by Mr.. Bonner as roadster.
During the last two years he was given
absolute rest, and every attention pos
sible which might prolong his life was
given him by his owner. He had lost
all his teeth, and was fed with carrots
and grass special prepared for him.
DIR. Bonner gave the opinion that Dex-
ter's performance of2.17l was equal to
210 or 2.ll now, owing to the great i'm
provements made since then in track
sulkies. Dexter carried a 65 pound
sulky in his day, while those to which
the trotters of the present time are
driven weigh only 40 pounds. Mr..
Bonner thinks It will be long time be-
fore Dexter's equal is seen again.
In 1868 Dexter, drawing $40 pounds Of
wagon and driver, trotted a mile over
the Prospect Park track in 2.23f.
