was taken to New York and few weeks
afterwards. the buyer visited MIR. Bishop
and said: " Bishop can 'tadrive that:horse
in less than three minutes.
We'll, then | took the horse, said Mr.
Bishop "and I couldn't make mile
with him in less than three and
quarter. Then the owner told me to send
for that Maine Girl who drove at Bangor
and offer her 500 to drive that horse in
2. 40 again. She came and we all went up
to Fleetwood to see the race and by
George, sir, she drove the mile in 2 35H.
