three and four-mile heats — netting for her owner $14,380. She 

 has never been put in condition since first withdrawn from the 

 turf, though " taken up " to train several times. She dropped 

 a very fine br. fillj foal bj Star in 1837, and is now stinted to 

 imp. Priam ; she still remains the property of Col. Johnson of 

 Yirginia, and Capt. David H. Branch, of the Union Course, L. I. 

 Charlotte Russe, an own sister of hers, coming five years, the 

 property of Col. Wade Hampton of South Carolina, promises to 

 add another chaplet to the brow of Sir Charles, by her brilliant 

 performances ; after winning at the South in the winter of 1837, 

 she was placed in the stable of the " JSTapoleon," who brought 

 her to the JSTorth with Boston, and she finished the campaign by 

 winning a four-mile purse on the Beacon Course. The same 

 chivalrous gentleman is also the owner of Bay Maria, an own 

 sister of the subject of this memoir, and a distinguished winner 

 at four-mile heats. To the great regret of her Northern friends, 

 Col. Hampton withdrew her from the turf at the close of her 

 five-year-old year, after she had won three Jockey Club Purses 

 in South Carolina at four-mile heats, within about as many 

 weeks. She was without a blemish when put into the stud, and 

 is the most beautiful brood mare we ever saw ; a filly she 

 dropped last season to imp. Rowton is considered a nonpareil.

The track was very heavy from rain, having been ploughed 

 the fall previous. Maria won without a struggle. Uncle Sam 

 having bolted in the last mile of the second heat, notwithstand- 

 ing which he came in second. We recollect seeing him adver- 

 tised to stand for mares in a Maryland paper a year or two 

 since. Medora, a very fine brood mare, is now the property of 

 Walter Livingston, Esq., of this city, and is the dam of his colt 

 Nassau ; he was nominated with Job in the great $44,000 stake
