228 THE GOLDSMITHS. 



1891— MAMBRINO MAID. 



She was a self-willed hussy, 



A big bay splattered with white; 



But when the bell rang for the races, 



She was in the thick of the fight. 



During the winter months James H. Goldsmith, to 

 all appearances, recovered from the attack that pros- 

 trated him at Lexington in October, and when the 

 buds began to open he shipped his stable to Charter 

 Oak Park, Hartford, where, during May and June, he 

 was busy as a bee preparing Mambrino Maid, Gean 

 Smith, Miss Alice, Leicester, Redmont, Robin and a 

 number of others for an active campaign. The first 

 starts were made at Charter Oak, the last week in 

 June, the report of the meeting showing that Miss 

 Alice won the 2:19 class, distancing the field in the 

 fourth heat with a mile in 2:17^4, and that Redmont 

 won the 2 133 class. Mambrino Maid was second to 

 Rosaline Wilkes in the free-for-all, Amender second 

 to Lightning, after winning a heat in 2:25^2, while 

 Carrie Walton, Richmond, Jr., Riverside and Sher- 

 wood were numbered among those who "also ran." 

 The Goldsmith stable made twelve starts at the Phila- 

 delphia Driving Park and Belmont Park July meet- 

 ings and won two races with the pacer, Robin, by 

 Vatican, while Miss Alice and Leicester had each a 

 first placed to their credit. Of the other members of 

 the stable, Redmont was third to Sappho and unplaced 

 to Fanny Wilcox, Richmond, Jr., second to Maud 

 Muller, Riverside fourth to J. J. Audubon, and Sher- 

 wood, Carrie Walton, Patience and Delaware Boy un- 

 placed.
