246 THE TROTTING-HORSE OF AMERICA. 



The mare was under saddle, the pacer in harness. They 

 had three heats ; of which he won the first, and she the second 

 and third. The time was 5m. 3^s., 5. 12s., 5m. 19s. The 

 old mare was t'aken from the Island to Boston to wind tip 

 that season. There, on the 22d of November, she went with 

 Trustee two-mile heats, she to a wagon of a hundred and 

 fifteen pounds, and he to a fifty-pound sulky. She beat him 

 in two heats of 5m. 57s., 5m. 34|-s. On the 29th, she went 

 mile heats, three in five, in harness, against Gray Eagle ; and 

 he beat her in three straight heats of 2m. 37s., 2m. 40s., 2m. 

 38s. The Lady's last race that season was on the 12th of 

 December. She went two-mile heats against Gray Trouble, 

 he in harness and she to wagon. She beat him in two heats 

 of 5m. 38s., 5m. 36s. This brought her to the end of 1849 ; in 

 which year she trotted sixty heats, many of them being two 

 and three mile heats. 



That two-mile heat race at Boston, in November, was the 

 last that Trustee ever trotted with Suffolk. He was entered 

 in one with her and Moscow the next year, but did not trot 

 it. The year following that, he came to his death at Cin- 

 cinnati. It was in the Queen-city Course, where, as appears 

 from his letter in " The Spirit," Mr. Larkin (name not on 

 the bills) went a buffalo-hunting with some Indian braves 

 and a great medicine-man called Crisp. On the 13th of 

 July, 1851, Trustee, Gray Eagle, Shavetail, and Bluffer 

 went a race of three-mile heats in harness, on the course 

 named. The day was extremely hot. Trustee won the first 

 heat in 8m. 38s. ; but, being in poor condition, succumbed to 

 the heat soon after starting for the second three miles, and 

 literally died in harness. Gray Eagle came near dying, too, 

 and was only saved by prompt blood-letting. The others 

 went three heats and the Bluffer was drawn.
