They Were Both Owned in Baltimore
County-In abiding to the death of James d.
| McMann, the prominent New York thurman
who died few days ago, at the advanced age
| of IS years, the Baltimore San calls up some
recollections of the famous mare Flora Temple,
| once the great queen of the trotting world.
| That paper says Mr.. McMann was her driver
! as well as her owner He drove her at Kala-
mazoo, October Is, 1885, when she broke the
record and made the then wonderful time OF a
! mile in minutes 1917 seconds. On the Long
Island track she beat Ethan Allen, George NJ:
| Patchen Tacony and Princess Lancet. In 1856
Mr. McMann bought Flora Temple from James
Irving New York butcher, and after keeping
her few years sold her to the late William
| Mcdonald, of Baltimore. for $4,000. After
! Mr.. McDonalds death McMann bought her
back for So, 900. Later she became the proper
ty of Mr. Aristides WEIGH, of Philadelphia.
| She died in 1863 and was buried on Mr.. Welchs
farm. Many stories are related OF the consld-
Grafton extended to the fast trotter while in
| the possession of Mr.. Mcdonald. On more
| than one occasion she was brought into car
| peted room for exhibition to her admirers
| Her stable accommodations were remarkably
| fine In 1867 at Buffalo, Dexter beat Flora
| Temples record by making mile in 2.l7t.
| Dexter was owned then by Mr.. A. +. Fawcett,
| of Baltimore, who soon sold him to Mr.. Bonner
for $50, 900. Flora Temples two mile record OF
four minutes and fifty seconds stood for years.
| Fanny Witherspoon two or three years ago re-
| duced it to LA.
Flora Temple, when owned by the late VIM.
/ Mcdonald, had her home at GuilfOrd, on the
! York road, whereshe lived like aqueen. Dex-
| ter was also kept in Baltimore county on the
| farm of Mr.. Fawcett, on the Philadelphia road.
