Baltimore, October 20, he won a dash of one 

 mile, beating a field of fifteen, as follows : Gray 

 Planet, Lotta Moon, Audubon, Stanford, Keene 

 Richards, Storm, Chief Engineer, Boz, Carolina, 

 Resolute, Rosebud, Frank, O'Neil, First Chance, 

 and Jury, in 1.44J. This exhibition of speed 

 revived the hopes of the Mc Daniel confederacy, 

 for the great horse seemed to be himself again. 

 How uncertain are calculations upon the future ! 

 This was a striking repetition of this fact, for 

 two days after, October 22, he ran his last race. 

 He started in a contest of two miles and a half, 

 and was cut down by Balankeel, and unplaced in 

 the race. The wound he received, which in all 

 probability deprived him of a brilliant victory, 

 was on the hind leg just below the hock, and 

 it was so severe that he carried the evidence 

 of it to the day of his death. His winnings for 

 the year were ^350, and he won during his 

 remarkable turf existence the handsome sum of 

 $51,530. 



He now retired and went into the stud at 

 Stony Brook. There his success was wholly 

 inadequate to his merit.
