It is not a little curious to hear the great trotting rider and 

 driver, whose fame is as widely spread beyond the Atlantic as 

 here at home, spoken of as " a boy named Hiram AVoodruff," 

 but it is believed that this was one of his first steps toward 

 celebrity, although he comes of a family who are all liorse- 

 men. 



A few days later on the Eagle Course at Trenton,Sally Miller 

 beat Columbus and distanced Screwdriver, the second of tliat

 ances, beat Columbus, Lady Clay, Gipsy, and Lady Jackson, in 

 2.40^—2.37—2.43—2.40. 



In the same month, at the Hunting Park Course, Sally Mil- 

 ler beat Gipsy and Lady, the best three in five, in her usual 

 time, about 2.37 ; and on the following day Columbus beat 

 Dread in 5.28 — 5.47 ; track very heavy. Neither weights nor

On the Harlem, New York, Trotting Park, in December
