Lady Lightfoot, in this week, accomplished the unprecedented triumph 

 of winning three days out of four, beating some of the best horses in 

 the State. What a field, for instance, was that on the last day's race, 

 (Saturday, March 1) composed of the famous Transport, Little Johnny, 

 Maria and Merino Ewe. No horse ever achieved as much in one week. 



The following tribute was paid by Gen. Wynn to the great quaHties 

 of this fine mare : He said, " of all the nags I ever saw, she was the sa- 

 fest and best at any distance, having the best and most imiform constitu- 

 tion — being very fleet, and of the most perfect bottom." 



She was in constant training from three years old to eleven years of 

 age. By a computation made at one period of her racing career, of one 

 hundred and ninety-one miles she had nm, she won one hundred and fif- 

 ty-nine miles.
