the stallion was unfortunately accidentally shot. He was 

 returned to his owner, and the reward paid; but, either from the 

 effects of the wound, or from over-exertion, he died very soon 

 thereafter. He was the sire of Goldsmith's Maid, now the 

 acknowledged Queen of the Turf; of Major Edsall, a very 

 fast stallion; and of many other good ones not so well known; 

 indeed, it is almost the universal opinion of the experienced 

 hoi-semen of the county, that had he remained therein he 

 would long ere this have acquired a reputation as a stock 

 horse not even second to his sire. 



EDWARD EVERETT, 



(Formerly Major Winfield), has recently, in consequence of 

 the achievements of his colts, greatly distinguished himself 

 as a stock horse. His dam is said to have been by imported 

 Margrave, and was formerly owned and used under the saddle 

 by the Hon. Thomas George, of this county. He bred her to 

 Hainbletonian; and, although recognizing the superior quali- 

 ties of his mare, yet, for some reason, he gave the colt to 

 Sheriff Lillum, upon condition that he would keep the mare 

 until the colt was weaned. In connection with this fact, it 

 may be mentioned, that Judge George bought one of Everett's 

 sons, which has since become noted, viz., Mountain Boy, 

 when four years old; but as this horse at that time showed 

 nothing very promising, to say the least, he sold him to 

 Esquire Bingham, soon after, for one hundred and fifty 

 dollars. 



Everett is also the sire of Judge Fullerton and Joe Elliott, 

 who are of themselves enough to demonstrate the great value 

 of their sire. He was purchased by Robert Bonner, for 

 twenty thousand dollars, and is now standing at the Lagrange 

 Farm in this county, under the management of Mr. Win. H. 

 Keetch.
