40 THE MORGAN HORSE 



winning his first seven races, though beaten in November, 1766, at 

 Annapolis, Md., by Selim, in a race of four mile heats, "witnessed by 

 an immense crowd from every part of the country". 



Jenny Cameron was one of the celebrated mares imported 

 before the Revolution. In volume VI. of " Skinner's American Turf 

 Register" there is a copy of the pedigree of Nonpariel, by Nonpa- 

 riel, son of Morton's Traveler, given by John Tayloe of Mt. Airy, 

 Va., in 1/73, in which he states that Jenny Cameron, in foal with 

 Betty Blazella, by Blaze, was imported by him. 



In the "Maryland Gazette" of December 21, 175 2, we have an ac- 

 count of a race at Gloucester, Va., in which Col. Tayloe's Jenny 

 Cameron was one of the contestants. In another race, the same 

 fall, she was beaten by Col. Tasker's Selima, as was also Col. Tay- 

 loe's bay horse, Childers, at same race.
