 Waterville, Oneida Co., N. Y., Feb., 1860, says: "Madam Temple, the clam of Flora, was 

 foaled the property of Elijah Peck, Waterville, Oneida Co., N. Y., in the spring of 1840: 

 her dam was a small but fleet bay mare. Madam Temple was sired by a spotted Arabian 

 stallion brought from Dutchess county and owned by Horace Terry. Mr. Peck disposed 

 of Madam Temple when four months old for a mere trifle to Wm. Johnson of the same place. 



' * * * Terry's spotted Arabian was a remarkably strong, restless,fast trotting horse, said 

 to have been sired by a full-blooded Arabian stallion on Long Island. He was a great 

 favorite in this section, and his stock for general use possesses probably more excellent 

 qualities than that of any other horse known in this vicinity. They were uniformly strong, 

 with rare speed and bottom. The general high reputation in which his stock was held 



may be judged from the fact that George W. Crowningshield, Esq., of Boston owned a 

 pacing gray mare of his get, so fast and enduring that he sold her for $1500. That was 

 considered very high in those days. Madam Temple has always been regarded as a re- 

 markable roadster. Mr. Hughes sold her in 1846 to G. B. Cleveland, Esq., Waterville, who 

 soon parted with her to N. W. Moss of the same place, but now of Osage, la. By him 

 she was kept as a horse of all work for several years, from whom she was purchased by 

 James M Tower in the spring of 1854, and he subsequently sold to H. L. Barker, Esq., of 

 Clinton, Oneida Co., N. Y., in January, 1855, who now owns her. Flora was her first colt. 

 Her second, a horse colt, was foaled in the spring of 1855, an d was bought by J. W. Taylor 

 of East Bloomfield, for R. A. Alexander, Esq., of Woodford Co., for $500. This colt was 

 sired by H. L. Barker's Edwin Forrest (a Kentucky colt), now owned by S. Downing, Lex-
