Maryland's Horses and Horsemen 123 



in a four-mile heat race at Lancaster, Pennsyl- 

 vania, in a close race for three heats, of which he 

 won the second heat. Then he gave a taste of 

 his quality to the New Yorkers, in a match race 

 run on an old course in Harlem, in which he was 

 beaten by Tippoo Sultan, then the Northern 

 champion at four-mile heats. 



He was a beautiful horse, of great strength, 

 15I- in height. He sired Bond's Eclipse, Diana, 

 and Greer's Potomac. He was never, however, a 

 great progenitor; and this extensive mention is 

 made of him because he ^yas the first thorough- 

 bred foaled in the state of Pennsylvania to make 

 any racing impress in America.
