1^0 JUSTIN MORGAN 



His Royal Highness, Edward, Duke of Kent, who, in 

 the year 1793, was travelhng with his suite in sleighs 

 from Boston to Canada. It was built of logs hewn out 

 with a broad-axe and made a most warm and fitting 

 place for so great a personage to tarry in, not less com- 

 fortable did our two more humble friends find it sixteen 

 years later. 



Nothing eventful occurred after the launching of the 

 boat except that Goss met a horse from Maryland, who 

 gave him news of Mistress Lloyd, now married to an 

 army officer, known as the dashing Lieutenant Tom Du- 

 laney. 



The Southern horse told him also of the lately opened 

 Baltimore course and of the great race there between 

 Mr. Ogle's Oscar and First Consul, and how Oscar ran 

 the second heat in the extraordinary time of 7 40, a 

 speed that had never been exceeded for the same dis- 

 tance, and which seemed almost a miracle !
