[UCY is a fine slashing bay mare, without white, 

 15} hands high. She was bred by Mr. Job 

 Butterworth, of Viuceutown, Burlington Co., 

 N. J., and was foaled in 1856, her sire being 

 the famous Jersey stallion George M. Patchen (see page 

 41), and her dame a mare by May Day, a son of the race- 

 horse Sir Henry, the renowned competitor of American 

 Kclipse. Her turf career began at Hartford, Conn., Sep- 

 tember 14, 1865, where she was second to Artemus Ward, 

 but won the third heat in 2:373, Honest Abe and Ben 

 Allen being distanced in the first heat. Her next effort 

 was more successful. At New Haven, October 19, she 

 defeated Volcano and one other for a Purse of f 150, in 

 2:40 2:39 2:39. In 1866 she made a great stride for- 

 ward, and at the Fashion Course, L. I., July 10th, she 

 defeated Amber, Daisy Burns and three others, in three 

 straight heats, in 2:332:302:32}. Then at Boston, 

 September 11, under saddle, she defeated Fanny Allen 

 and Leviathan, in 2:30 2:28f 2:30. Four days after- 

 wards, at the same place, she succumbed to Mountain Maid, 

 by Old Merrill, in slower time; Fearless being also in tire 

 race, and taking the first two heats. Two weeks after this 

 race, at the Fashion Course, she beat Rosamond, who won 

 the third heat, and Cora, in 2:30 2:30} 2:31} 2:28. 

 At Providence, October 27, she met with the stallion 

 Rhode Island, the sire of the magnificent trotting stallion 

 Governor Sprague. Rhode Island was then named Dan 

 Rice, and he was a good one. -Lucy won the first heat, in 

 2:32}, then the stallion took the second in 2:281 ; the third 

 was Lucy's, in 2:28}. and the stallion won the two last and 

 the race, in 2:29 2:27 J. She trotted her last race that 

 year at Boston, November 22, where she beat Uncle Dudley, 

 in three straight heats, in 2:44} 2:41 \ 2:38}. June 

 13, 1867, she met Panic, by Sherman Black Hawk, and the 

 famous black gelding General Butler, at the Fashion Course, 

 and a closely-contested race ensued. Lucy took the first 

 two in 2:32 2:31} ; Panic the third, in 2:30 J ; Butler the 

 fourth, in 2:27 ; the fifth was a dead heat between Panic 

 and Butler, in 2:28; the sixth Panic won, in 2:32}. Lucy 

 was then drawn, and all the others were distanced in the 

 seventh heat for running. At Narragausett, August 1, she 

 beat Colonel Maynard and Bruno, in 2:272:272:28; 

 and four days afterwards, at the same place, she beat 

 General Butler and Bruno, in 2:28| 2:27 2:26}. Lady 

 Thome now defeated her three races right off the reel, but 

 at the fourth time of their meeting, at Narragansett Park, 

 October 24, she turned the tables on the one-eyed mare, 

 and beat her. Bruno and Rhode Island, in 2:27i 2:28 

 2:26} 2:25}, Lady Thome taking the first heat. The 

 fifth race of the series the Lady won. She had previously 

 defeated Rhode Island and Old Put at New Haven, 



October 3. In 1868 she was .beaten six times by Lady 

 Thome, and did not win a single race from the game old 

 mare. At the Fashion Course, June 3, she defeated Gen. 

 Butler, to saddle, in 2:25} 2:26 2:22} ; and at Boston, 

 July 2d, she beat Rollo Golddust, also to saddle, in 2:37} 

 2:25} 2:23}. Two weeks later, at Troy, N. Y., she 

 met Goldsmith Maid for the first time, and defeated her 

 and Fred Pense, in 2:282:292:24}. At Buffalo, July 

 31, she beat Rollo Golddust and Silas Rich, in 2:251 

 2:31 2:27; and at Syracuse, August 21, she defeated 

 George Palmer and Mountain Maid, in 2:26 2:28J 2:29 

 2:25, Palmer taking the first heat. In 1869 she won 

 but one race, that against American Girl, at the Fashion 

 Course, L. L, May 17, 1869, in 2:29} 2:27} 2:25. She 

 was defeated seven times by American Girl, once by Gold- 

 smith Maid, once by Lady Thorne, and once by George 

 Wilkes. In 1870 she won four races from George Wilkes, 

 Mountain Boy and Henry being also in two of them, and 

 was beaten three times by Goldsmith Maid, twice by George 

 Wilkes, and four times by American Girl. In 1871, after 

 defeating George Palmer, at Narragansett Park, in 2:26} 

 2:252:24, she started out on a hippodroming tour with 

 Goldsmith Maid through the principal towns of the West. 

 She was well up to the Maid in nearly all the heats, but 

 did not win a single one from her. That she could have 

 done so, had it been the interest of those who controlled 

 her, is asserted by many good judges. In 1872 she was 

 more fortunate. She commenced the season at Philadel- 

 phia, June 7, where she was beaten by Goldsmith Maid, in 

 straight heats; and again at the same place, five days later, 

 she Was second to Jay Gould, in slow time. At Mystic 

 Park, June 19, and at Prospect Park, June 27, Goldsmith 

 Maid beat her ; and at Fleetwood Park, July 9, American 

 Girl beat her, Goldsmith Maid and Henry. At Cleve- 

 land, Goldsmith Maid beat her and American Girl, and 

 at Cincinnati beat her again. At Buffalo, August 9, the 

 three mares met again, and Henry was with them, and 

 an excellent race ensued. Lucy won the first heat, in 

 2:18} ; American Girl won the second, in 2:17} ; Lucy won 

 the third, in 2:19f, and the fourth, in 2:22. Although 

 she was unable to win a heat herself, Goldsmith Maid was 

 second in all of them. The Maid and Lucy now proceeded 

 on their expedition to California, and at Sacramento and 

 San Francisco the Maid beat her. She wound up the 

 season by beating Occident at Alameda, in two heats, 2:25} 

 2;20, Occident being distanced in the second heat. In 

 1873 she trotted but one race at Cleveland, August 2, 

 which she won in three heats 2:21 12:23| 2:24}, 

 American Girl being second in all the heats, and Goldsmith 

 Maid distanced in the first heat. After this she was put to 

 the stud, and is now at the Fashion Stud Farm, Treuton, N. J.
