224 THE GOLDSMITHS. 



the regular meeting, Pamlico, Dawson, Simmocolon 

 and Mambrino Maid were marked as winners, Miss 

 Pauley saved her entrance, while Plush and Robert 

 M. Taylor were unplaced. Dawson picked up an-

 Yorktown Belle, Maud Muller and Golden Rod, in

After stopping at Hartford, where Simmocolon 

 and Dawson won, Plush trotted second to Fear-

 Richmond, Jr., a horse which his brother brought on 

 from California, fourth to Molly J., the Goldsmith
