verse, by Non Plus, out of Daisy by Kosciusko, ran honestly, and won 

 several good purses for him. This superior mare passed into other 

 hands, and formed part of Mr. Singleton's stud. Mr. Sinkler was fortu- 

 nate to possess one of the most faithful colored grooms in the State. It 

 is due to the integrity and character of this man to notice him favor- 

 ably in this place. In his attachment to his master, and devotedness to 

 his true interests, he reminds us of "old Cornelius" — not the Centurion, 

 but the trainer for Col. Singleton. I presume no one in the habit for 

 the last thirty-five years of attending the Charleston Races, but recol- 

 lects "old Cornelius." He was in South Carolina what "old Charles" 

 was in Virginia — a feature in the crowd upon a race field. 



This sketch of Mr. Sinkler (and also that of Col. Singleton — in fact, 

 all of the preceding notices), were written and originally published some 

 years ago. Death has since been busy among our friends, and has left 

 a melancholy chasm — all are now gone of the good old stock, or have 

 retired from the field of their glory. Time, that indefatigable, untiring 

 old courser, will neither stand still himself, nor allow others to do so. 

 Many young men, however, are annually making their appearance on 

 the Turf, to fill up, as far as they can, the vacant places. I was just 

 about to write the name of M. R. Singletok — but memory, sad mem- 

 ory, whispers, we shall see him no more among us ; — but Mr. Richard 

 C. Richardson, a son of the late Col. James B. Richardson, promises to 

 take the place, by-and-bye, of his lamented father. He has several 

 young things coming forward from season to season He has been 

 breeding from Amy, by Non Plus, and Zoe, by Rowton, out of the dam 

 of Little Venus ; also Ora, by Yeoman, out of a full sister to Transport. 



The good name of Wm. Lowndes has frequently, of late years, ap- 

 peared among the entries ; also, Wm. C. Heyward, J. W. Mazyck, J. E. 

 Edings, J. B. Moore, Frank Hampton, P. G. Stoney, W. H. B. Richard- 

 son, Dr. C. Fitzsimons, J. M. Howell, C. T. Howell, John Hunt^, and 

 others, who possess the means and the leisure to indulge in the recrea- 

 tions of the Turf.
