vorite, but broke out with the distemper a few days before the 

 race, and was not started during the season.

Time, 8.05 — 8.08. Track very heavy from rain. 



Tlie betting was general at 100 to 25 on Black Maria, 

 amorous notions in whose head interfered with the swiftness of 

 her heels ; she was so desperately enamored with the Dutch- 

 man, that she could not be induced to pass him. Long odds 

 were offered on her for the race, even after the first heat. After 

 Mr. Badger's death — some three years since — Flying Dutchman 

 was sold to go West, with Priam — by John Eichards — and an- 

 other stallion. 



1832. Dutchess County Course, Poughkeepsie, N. Y., Thursday, Oct. 4— Jockey Club Purse, |300, 



conditions as before. Three mile heats.

A. Sherman's ch. h. De Witt Clinton, by Rattler, out of Matilda, 4 yrs 3 3 2 



Time, 6.02—5.55—5.55. 



Black Maria not being quite up to the mark, Mr. Stevens 

 entered her for the three-mile, and O'Kelly, instead, for the four- 

 mile purse, and thereby won both cleverly. O'Kelly, then five 

 years old, beat Jane Grey and De Witt Clinton, and soon after- 

 wards passed into the hands of Col. Johnson, of Virginia, for 

 $5,500. Col. Johnson disposed of him soon after at a handsome 

 advance, to a Tennessee turfman. Mr. A. T. Nolan advertised 

 him to stand at Franklin, Tenn., in 1836 ; his new owners 

 brought him on the turf again last season, in his eleventh year, 

 and considering " the hardships he had passed," his performance 

 was highly respectable. De Witt Clinton is still the property 

 of Mr. Brooks, of Ovid, Seneca county, N". Y., who purchased 

 him of Mr. Sherman, and he is now standing at Columbus, 

 Ohio.
