470 THE PERFECT HORSE. 



Gypsy Queen, the dam of Jefferson, is black, fifteen hands 

 and a quarter ; handsome, with the exception of light tail ; 

 being famous at the West as a perfect " stayer," and a winner 

 at three, five, and ten miles. In her last ten-mile race she 

 was beaten less than a length by Capt. McGowan, in 28.11. 

 She was purchased by Thomas J. Vail, at Louisville, Ky., of 

 Bidwell, a Western trainer and driver, who represented that 

 Gypsy was sired by Wagner, and her dam by Glencoe. She 

 was perfectly sound when put to breeding. 



For further information, address William B. Smith, Hart- 

 ford, Conn. (See portrait, p. 96.) 



[As in the case of Rysdyk, because both are owned in my 

 native State, and therefore of peculiar interest to me, as to 

 all Connecticut breeders, I have felt at liberty to call their 

 special attention to this horse. He is, beyond doubt, the fast- 

 est stock-horse ever owned in the State, and one of the fastest 

 in the country. — Author.']
