248 THE HORSE. 



did with ease ; three weeks before Maria beat her as handily in 

 much better time. 



1834 Eagle Course, Trenton, N. J., Thursday, Nov. 13— Purse, $800, free for all ages ; weights the 



same as on the Union Course. Three-mile heats. 

 Maj. Jas. M. Selden's b. c. Charles Kemble, by Sir Archy, out of Pilot's dam by Gallatin,

John C. Stevens' bl. m. Black Maria, by Eclipse, out of Lady Lightfoot, 8 yrs. ... 22 

 Time, 5.50i— 5.51i. 



Kemble won handily ; he was considered the best three-mile 

 horse in Yirginia of his day. It should be remembered that 

 Black Maria beat him a long way off, running /bw?*-mile heats 

 in the spring of this year. 



1835. Union Course, L. I., Friday, May 8— -Jockey Club Purse, $1000, conditions as before. Four- 

 mile heats.

Wm. Gibbon's b. h. Milo, by Mens. Tonson, out of Meg Dods, 5 yrs dist. 



Time, 7.55-8.00—8.15. 



After distancing Monmouth and beating Henry Archy three 

 times in their prime, they took advantage of her want of con- 

 dition, and paid off a portion of their old scores. O'Connell 

 soon after passed into the hands of Mr. P. C. Bush of St. Louis, 

 Mo., who ran him successfully in the West at all distances. 

 Milo, who was a much better horse than his performance on this 

 occasion " made him out," suddenly died in the fall of 183T, on 

 his way to the Long Island races. 



This was the last performance in public of Black Maria, who 

 was now withdrawn from the turf and sent to Gohanna tlien 

 standing on Long Island.
