Time — 1st heat, 8 m.; 2d heat, 8 m., 5 sec. 



There was little or no interest in this race. Mucklejohn (between 

 vrhom and Trifle the only competition was expected) having bolted in 

 the fourth round of the first heat. Both heats were afterwards won ea- 

 sily by Trifle. 



This beautiful and extraordinary little animal, has been deservedly 

 regarded as a phenomenon, and promises much in the future. She 

 is one of the many instances that may be cited to prove that the most 

 valuable goods are sometimes put up in the smallest packages. Trifle 

 was foaled April 2, 1828. She is a bright chesnut, near hind leg white, 

 between fourteen and a half and fourteen three-quarter hands high, of 

 perfect symmetry, with action very beautiful. She was bred by Mr. 

 Thomas Graves, (of Chesterfield County, Virginia ;) was got by Sir 

 Charles ; dam a grey mare of fine figure, five feet three inches high, by 

 Cicero ; Cicero was by Sir Archy, dam by Diomed.
