PERFORMANCES of BLACK HAWK. 



Nov. 17, 1847, beat Jenny Lind in a match over the 

 Unitm Course, mile heats : Black Hawk to a 250 lb. wagon, 

 Jenny Lind to a skeleton wagon weighing about 75 lbs, 

 winning the first and third heats in 2 40, 2 43. 



April 25th, 1848, beat Lady Sutton in a match over the 

 same course, mile heats, best 3 in 5, to 250 lb. wagons : 

 time 2 43; 2 43; 2 42; 2 45£. 



May 15th, 1848, beat Ameiicus over the same caurse in 

 a match for $2000 ; three mile heats to 250 lb wagons ; 

 time 8 31; 8 36. 



Por further performance see Turf Register for 1847 and 

 1848 ; where will also be seen the challenge of his owner 

 to trot him against any horse in the world for any amount 

 from $500 to $5000; which challenge was never accepted 

 Subsequently $13,000 was refused for him. 



Kossuth having been kept solely as a breeding 

 Stallion, has made but one performance on the 

 turf, and that over the Union Course, Long Island, 

 on the of 1st Sept. 1855, in a match of two mile 

 heals, in harness, against Mr. F. Felton's black 

 Stallion Ticonderoga, Kossuth winning with ease, 

 in two straight heats, ; n the last one, Ticonderoga 

 barely saving his distance (IG0 yards ) 



Kossuth had made a large season, (serving 84 

 mares,) and been in training only one month, suf- 

 fering all the while from a severe cold, taken on 

 his passage from Richmond to New York, and was 

 so evidently out of condition, that I was advised to 

 withdraw him; but knowing his endurance I was 

 determined he should trot, and had the gratifica- 

 tion to see him not only win, but make a race un- 

 der the circumstances, creditable to any horse 

 A few weeks .subsequent to this race, he made a 

 trial to a wagon, which in speed will compare with 

 if not surpass, that of any trotting Stallion in the 

 world. By reference to my bills, it will be seen 

 that Kossuth belongs to a trotting family — the best 

 in America, and traces his blood for upwards ol 

 half a century, through a line of choice ancestors — 

 all celebrated for speed and great endurance— and 

 goes back to some of the purest Arabian and 

 English horses. 



Jfersons wishing to breed from Kossuth, would do 

 well to make early application, as he will positive- 

 ly not exceed the limit. 



Mares sent from a distance will be well taken 

 care of, at my stable, at forty cents per day.

TO FARMERS AND GARDENERS. 



Your attention is called to the Manures manufac- 

 tured by the Lodi Manufacturing Co. from the con- 

 tents of the sinks and privates in New York City, 

 and free from offensive odor, called 



POUDRETTE AND TAFEU. 

 Poudrette is composed of two-thirds night soil and 

 one third decomposed vegetable fibre. Tafeu is 

 composed of three-fourth night soil and one-fourth 

 No. 1 Peruvian Guano. 



These manures are cheaper and belter adapted 

 for raising Corn, Garden Vegetables and Grass,, 

 than any other in market. Can be put in contact 

 with the seed without injury, and causes Corn and 

 seeds to come up sooner, ripen two weeks earlier,, 

 and yield one third more than other manures, and. 

 is a sure preventative of the cut worm. 



Two bbls of Poudrette or 100 bbls. Tafeu, will 

 manure an acre of Corn in the hill. Tafeu 1 3.4 

 cents per lb. Poudrette $2 00 per bbl. or Si 50 for 

 any quantity over 7 bbls., delivered on board vessei 

 or railroad free from any charge for package or 

 cartage. A pamphlet containing every information 

 sent, post paid, to any one sending their address to

SUPERIOR IMPROVED SWINE, &C.

 the pure Chester County Hogs, and crosses of the 

 China, with the above varieties. I have now for 

 sale an Essex Boar, and Sow in pig, four years old.,
