It will be seen from tlie above that Lady SuiFolk was upon 

 the turf nearly sixteen years, during wliicli time she trotted in 

 One Hundred and Sixty-One Races, winning Eighty-eight — 

 and $35,011— and losing Seventy-Three. 



I believe, Mr. P., your own dear self and "Acorn" were 

 the first to discover the extraordinary powers of Lady Suffolk, 

 while driving her to Comae, Long Island, in 1837 ; and I have 

 been told that it was by your advice that her owner entered 

 her for a purse on the Beacon Course in June of the following 

 year, when she gave such promise of speed and endurance as 

 to obtain the admiration of all present who were capable of 

 judging. 



The summary designates clearly the course of her travels, 

 from Babylon through ten States of the Union ; but it is deemed 

 an act of justice to the Lady to state that her trainer, driver, 

 and intimate friend, Mr. David Bryan, on their arrival at New 

 Orleans in 1851, was unable to attend to her on account of 

 sickness ; and although Mr. C. S. Ellis, an accomplished trainer, 

 had her in charge, she seemed to lose her accustomed spirit, 

 and to droop with her old master, who died there, leaviug his 

 mare in charge of Mr. Ellis.
