seemed to be faster than ever. I shipped my stable, 

 including Brown Hal, to Pittsburg, and in the work- 

 outs I gave him there, he went so lame that I con- 

 cluded it was no use trying to race him any more, and 

 shipped him home, and he has never been conditioned 

 for racing since then. He is now owned by Captain 

 M. C. Campbell of Spring Hill, Tenn., where he will 

 undoubtedly spend the balance of his life. He had all 

 the elements of a great race horse, viz : speed, game- 

 ness and endurance, and these essential elements he 

 transmits to his get in a remarkable degree. Nearly 

 twenty years ago, in a communication I made to one 

 of the turf journals, I prophesied that a horse would 

 go a mile in harness in two minutes, and that the first 

 horse to accomplish that feat would be a pacing horse 

 and a member of the Hal family ; and I rejoice 

 to know that I have lived long enough to see that 

 prophecy fulfilled, and that the horse that fulfilled my 

 expectations was a distinguished son of Brown Hal.
