professed trainers and jockeys, who carried racing on entirely as a business, 

 and regardless of that honourable spirit which had previously distinguished 

 it. Trotting also came into fashion, and the fanatics preached a crusade 

 against both, which took double effect upon the sport, already tottering to 

 its fall. It may indeed be said, that from 1845 to 1855, racing in 

 America was confined entirely to the south; but about 1855 or 1856 a 

 new jockey club was established in New York, and its members laid out 

 a new racecourse on Long Island.
