 Miller's Damsel was a chestnut mare, with three white 

 legs and a hlaze in the face. She belonged to Conkling 

 Carl. Her sire was Emmons's Jackson, a son of old 

 Andrew Jackson. Of these four, Flora and Frank Forrester 

 were the only ones that appeared on the 20th of September. 

 I had no trouble in winning it with Flora in 5.15, 5.17. 

 On the 10th of October, Frank Forrester paid forfeit to 

 Flora in a match for $2,000, over the Union Course. On 

 the 17th, she went a match against Hero the pacer, for 

 $2,000, over the Centreville, two-mile heats, she in harness, 

 the pacer to wagon. The mare won this in three heats. 

 Hero got the first, and she the second and third. Time, 

 4.59, 4.57, 5.21. This ended Flora's exploits in 1855.
