In January, 1862, Mr. RockWELL purchased Tiger 
of Mr. Tarsett,-since which time he has been almost 
constantly giving exhibitions in the States and in Canada, 
In April, 1862, Mr. Rocxweztt trained the pet colt 
Baby, a-three-year-old dark chestnut colt, with a small 
star in the forehead, the near hind-foot white; a splendid 
animal, sired by Ziger, and purchased by Mr. Rock wx1 
and Dr. J. H. Catpwex1, of Michigan. Of this colt the 
Hudson (N. Y.) Gaaette of May 22, 1862, says:
