 Westchester Cup, 2 miles, in 4:12, and was unplaced in Members Cup, 1| miles, won 

 by Woodcock, in 2: 06^. Grenada was a first class race-horse. In his two-year-old 

 year he ran second to his stable companion, Sensation, in most all of the great Stakes, 

 and had the best colts of the year behind him. As a three-year-old, he demonstrated 

 his quality by winning a majority of the great three-year-old stakes, and at four years 

 old, won four out of six good races before injuring his foot, which virtually destroyed 

 him for racing purposes. Grenada is from a racing family. Mattie Gross, his dam, 

 produced Mate and Whisper, both good horses, and his grandam produced Dick Doty, 

 a good race-horce, won four-mile heats in 7:37 and 7:46, the fastest race run in that 

 State, Kentucky, to that date, 1853. Creath, another famous race-horse, is also from 

 this family. Grenada, in addition to "being by King Alfonso, sire of Foxhall, Fonsp, 

 and other good ones, is much inbred to Sir Archy and Diomed, and to the Godolphin 

 Arabian, on the dam's side. We commend Grenada to the breeders of Ohio.
