 run up to that date. The first mile was run in 1 :47-i-, two miles in 3:38, three miles in 

 5 ;29i, and the four miles as slated. This closed the turf career of Pellowcraft, and 

 since his retirement, while he has had a limited advantage as a sire, still he has sired 

 some fast horses. Knight Templar won three-quarters of a mile in 1 :14, three-quarter 

 mile heats, in 1 :16i. 1 :16J, and one mile in 1 ;42, all of which are very creditable, 1 :14 

 being the fastest time on record for three-quarters of a mile. Blue Lodge won heats 

 of three-quarters of a mile in 1:20, 1 :19J:, beating Brambaletta, Pilgrimage. Maggie C. 

 and others. She ran dead heat and divided Citizen's Plate with Long Taw,at St. Louis,l-i- 

 miles, in 155J. Blue Lodge won some good races in in 1882. Pellowcraft is only cred. 

 ited with ten foals, three of which are rising two years old. Nearly all that have been 

 trained have won. Pellowcraft is a rich chestnut, with star and two white hind feet, 

 is well formed and a fine blood-like specimen of a horse, 16 hands high. He is hand. 

 Bomely bred, and was a race-horse with great speed and the capacity to stay over a dis- 

 tance of gi'ound. He is strongly inbred to Diomed and imp. Medley, son of Gimcrack 

 by Cripple, son of Godolphin Arabian ; he possesses the Waxy blood through Whisker 

 and Whalebone, and numerous crosses to Herod and Eclipse, the pedigree terminating 

 in the blood of Medley by Gimcrack. With a chance he will make a real good sire.
