markable trotters that ever appeared upon
the turf, was inbred to Messenger. He was
trotting four-mile heat-races in his twenty
second year, and though he had two spavins
was not lame. Topgallant lived 10 be %
years old. Administrator, by Rysdyks
HambletOnian. also a Messenger, is still
vigorous at q years of age. He is owned
in Prince Edward Island. Many Of the
descendants of Di0med lived 10 an adj
yanced age. Diomed himself lived to be 81
years old, and got his best son, Sir Archy,
the season he was y years old.
