IN 1841, Lady Suffolk commenced her campaign at the 

 Centreville Course on the 4th of May, in a trot of two- 

 mile heats in harness, against Confidence and Washington. 

 The gray mare was successful, winning in two heats of 5m. 

 13^s. and 5m. 41s. Washington was distanced. In her 

 next trot on the Centreville, she went against Confidence 

 and Aaron Burr, mile heats, three in five. Aaron Burr 

 was in my stable, lie was a bay gelding, about fifteen 

 hands two inches high, a good stepper and long stayer. 

 This race was won by Confidence. I must now mention 

 the trots at the Hunting-park Course against Dutchman, 

 and the trots in which Lady Suffolk contended with Rip- 

 ton ; for, though they have been mentioned in the sketches 

 given heretofore of those horses, it is desirable that they 

 should be recapitulated here, in order that, having Lady 

 Suffolk's performances before him altogether, the reader 

 may be better enabled to comprehend the immense stamina 

 and marvellous bottom of the gray mare. In the two-mile- 

 heat race at the Hunting-park Course, Lady Suffolk beat 

 Dutchman in three heats, — 5m. 12^s., 5m. 19^s., 5m. 2l3.
