FANNY JENKS. 185 



it inside the time ; and here, within a few years, we find that feat 

 so utterly outdone, that it is considered nothing ; and tliat we 

 find common roadsters keeping up the same pace, in a match, 

 not against time, for ten consecutive miles, and beating it in the 

 ninth mile by five seconds, 



A few days later, Lady Suffiolk trotting against the pacers, 

 J. C. Calhoun and Fairy Queen, three in five, mile heats, the 

 horse winning the first two, won in 2.29 ; 2.31 ; 2.28 ; 2.29 ; 2.30. 

 Fairy Queen was drawn in the fourth heat, having gone third in 

 the first three, and being necessarily incompetent to win. 



At Centreville, November 14th, Fanny Jenks was again 

 matched to go ten miles against Troy, and again won easily in 

 30.56, the horse not being able to drive her to her former 

 speed. 



These matches long remained unequalled, but they have 

 since been far outdone by Trustee and Lady Fulton, both of 

 whom have performed 20 miles within the liour. 



The trotting turf of 1845 owes its greatest eclat to the con- 

 tests of Americus, Lady Sufiblk, Moscow, Duchess, the pacing 

 of James K. Folk, the appearance of Lady Jane, who showed for 

 the first time as a winner, and for the great performance by 

 Fanny Jenks of a hundred miles in ten successive hours. 



Americus went, in all, eight trots,— 



Winning four times. Thi-ee-mile heats in harness, in two 

 heats, in 8.00 ; 8.05|, of Lady Sulfolk and Columbus. Three- 

 mile heats in harness, in two heats, in 8.05 ; 7.59, of Lady Sufiblk. 

 Two-mile heats, in three heats, in 5.23 ; 5.17^ ; 5.24, of Moscow. 

 One-mile heats, in two heats, in 2.344- ; 2.38^, of Moscow, and 

 Duchess, and Washington. 



Losing four times. Three-mile heats, in three heats, in 8.02 ; 

 8.07i; 8.17, to Lady Suff'olk. Two-mile heats, in two heats, 

 in 5.20 ; 5.29, to Lady Suffolk and Columbus. Two-mile heats,
