 run up to that date. The first mile was run in 1 :47, two miles in 3:38, three miles in 

 5:29, and the four miles as stated. This closed the turf career of Fellowcraft, and 

 since his retirement, while he has had a limited advantage as a sire, still he has sired 

 some fast horses. Knight Templar won three-quarters of a mile in 1 :14, three-quarter 

 mile heats, in 1 :16f , 1 :16J, and one mile in 1 :42, all of which are very creditable, 1 :14 

 being the fastest time on record for three-quarters of a mile. Blue Lodge won heats 

 of three-quarters of a mile in 1 :20, 1 :19i, beating Brambaletta, Pilgrimage. Maggie C. 

 and others. She ran dead heat and divided Citizen's Plate with Long Taw,at St. Louis, !& 

 miles, in 155J. Blue Lodge won some good races in in 1882. Fellowcraft is only cred_ 

 itcd with ten foals, three of which are rising two years old. Nearly all that have been 

 trained have won. Fellowcraft is a rich chestnut, with star and two white hind feet, 

 is well formed and a fine blood-like specimen of a horse, 16 hands high. He is hand, 

 somely bred, and was a race-horse with great speed and the capacity to stay over a dis- 

 tance of ground, He is strongly inbred to Diomed and imp. Medley, son of Gimcrack 

 by Cripple, son of Godolphin Arabian; he possesses the Waxy blood through Whisker 

 and Whalebone, and numerous crosses to Herod and Eclipse, the pedigree terminating 

 in the blood of Medley by Gimcrack. With a chance he will make a real good sire.
