 racer Rowton was imported by Dr. Merritt for Col. Hampton and 

 Messrs. Merrits. He was landed at City Point, in Virginia. 



* It is but justice to Hickory John to remark, that he was in such bad condition 

 his groom was alone induced to start him from an unwillingness to disappoint the 

 public. Nevertheless, by the time he made in the two first heats, although beaten, 

 he nobly sustained his reputation.
