Harrodsburg, in 2:39. Afterward, when very lame, he started and won 

 two heats, and made one dead heat, at Georgetown. 



Piedmont, in fall of 1875, at Hartford, won the Charter Oak stakes 

 for four-year-olds — the first race he ever started in — time, 2:32^, 2:34-^ 

 and 2:30:^. It was a race that attracted considerable notice. 



Alvermont, by Almont, in September, 1875, won the $500 free-for- 

 all jDurse, offered by the Fair Association, at Lexington, against a good 

 field. Alamo, by Almont, taking second money. 



This same Alamo, in October, 1875, at St. Louis, won the premium 

 offered for the fastest horse, mare or gelding of any age, over a field 

 of fourteen starters, some of them with fast records. He also took 

 premium at St. Louis for best four-year-old roadster stallion. In 

 1877, after a full season, he made a record of 2:41. 



Latoka, a three-year-old filly, won a match race at Georgetown,. 

 Ky., distancing Summer Coon in first heat. 



Trouble, by Almont, won, at Terre Haute, Ind., in 1875, and trotted 

 several races in the Northwest, winning first and second money, and 

 making a record of 2:37:^, at Chicago, in July — four years old. 



Easter Maid won, as a three-year-old, first heat in gold stakes, at 

 Lexington, Alethea winning the race. June 16, 1876, at Grand

Almont Jr. won at New Orleans, March 4, 1876, in three heats, in 

 2:37f, 2:41f, and 2:39^, This colt was sold as an. unsound colt at hia

Aldine was winner of Breeders' Centennial stake for three-year-olds,,

It should be said, in addition to the above, that Easter Maid trotted 

 in 1877, on a half mile track, in 2:27, and won in a public race, but 

 the time was not taken, as is alleged, because it was at a fair. 



This makes a list of actual winners that will far surpass that of any
