230 THE HORSE. 



of this present season, since it will not be possible to do more 

 tlian commence the snbject, I shall close this brief and necessarily 

 incomplete sketch of the origin, rise, and present condition of 

 the Trotting Turf of America, with a memoir up to the present 

 date of Flora Temple, with so much of her pedigree as is attain- 

 able, her performances, and a description of her appearance, to- 

 gether with the pedigrees of one or two trotting horses which 

 are distinctly ascertained.
