professed trainers and jockeys, who carried racing on entirely as a business, 

 and regardless of that honourable spirit which had previously distinguished 

 it. Trotting also came into fashion, and the fanatics preached a crusade

 its fall. It may indeed be said, that from 184:5 to 1855, racing in 

 America was confined entirely to the south; but about 1855 or 1856 a 

 new jockey club was established in New York, and its members laid out 

 a new racecourse on Long Island.
