210 THE HORSE. 



beat, in both heats, Lafayette and another. Sally Walker was 

 comparatively fresh, having run but one race in the spring, 

 which she won with ease — though in three heats — and was 

 then declared to be the best nag from the South, that had ever 

 been introduced on the Union Course. Ariel was not in condi- 

 tion — too high ; nor did she get exactly " in fix " during the 

 campaign. The time of this race is the best on our records, 

 5m. 44-s. — 5m. 42s. 



28. At ISTewmarket, the next week, she was beaten easily, 

 by Sally Walker, for the Jockey Club purse, $600, four-mile 

 heats. 



29. October. At Tree Hill, the following week, she won 

 the post stakes, $450, a single four miles, beating Col. John- 

 son's famed Trumpator, four years old, by Sir Solomon, and 

 others. 



30. At l!^ottoway, the next week, she won with ease the 

 Jockey Club purse, $400, three-mile heats, beating Col. John- 

 son's famed Medley, three years old, by Sir Hal, in one heat. 



31. At Belfield, the week following, she was beaten by 

 Sally Walker, for the Jockey Club purse, $400, three-mile 

 heats. An uncommonly severe race — scarce a shade of difier- 

 ence between them. Time, 5m. 46s. — 5m. 48s. 



32. November. At Halifax, N. C, she was again beaten, 

 the succeeding week, by Sally Walker, for the Jockey Club 

 purse, $400, four-mile heats. 



33. At Scotland Neck, a few weeks after, she won the 

 Jockey Club purse. 



34. 1828. January. She was then travelled to Augusta, 

 Georgia, where she won the Jockey Club purse, $500, four- 

 mile heats, beating Col. Myers' Lady Deerpond and others. 



35. February. Thence to Charleston, S. C, where she was 

 beaten for the Jockey Club purse, $600,— and a bet of $1000, 

 — four-mile heats, by Mr. Singleton's Crusader, four years old, 

 by Sir Archy. A good race — lost the second heat by scarce 

 two feet. Time not known. 



36. A few days thereafter, she won the handicap purse, 

 $400, beating Crusader, who broke down in the first heat, 

 and another.
