 mile race at the old Louisiana course. The time was nearly 30 minutes. 

 Lancet was beaten by Young Tecumseh a five-mile race at the same course, 

 in 14 113. My father drove Lancet a mile in 2 148. Later in life he got 

 savage in temper, but in my boyhood he would stand by the fence, while I

 to lower ". Lancet was advertised, in 1857, in the "Sacramento Daily Union",
