 Urbana,O.,i856, and returned him to Long Island, 185 7 ; then kept six years on 

 farm of Nelson Haight, Washington, N. Y. ; later taken back to Ohio. Died 

 about 1875. Received ist premium as a trotting horse at the New York 

 State fair, 1853. The pedigree of 2d dam is furnished us by Nelson Haight, 

 who is sure that it is correct. 



Mr. Haight (now of New York city) writes : " I can say that he was the 

 handsomest horse, with the finest style and action, that I have ever seen. I 

 think he was about five years old when at a private trial he trotted in 2 137 

 on the Fashion track on Long Island, but soon after he had the misfortune 

 to break his ankle, which rendered him unfit for trotting. His stock were 

 very fine, of medium size, and uniform, many of them carrying his 

 marks". 



The "Spirit of the Times" of Nov. 21, 1853, in its report of the 

 National Horse exhibition, says : " Flying Cloud, exhibited by T. T. Jackson, 

 is a six-year-old Black Hawk of great merit and promise, and will yet be heard 

 from on the turf".
