PERFORMANCES op BLACK HAWK. 



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

 U-nionCourse, mile beats : Black Hawk to a 2G01b. wagon, 

 Jenny Lind to a skeleton wagon weighing about 75 Ibe, 

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



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

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

 time 2 43; 2 43; 2 42; 2 45£. 



May 15th,, 1848, beat Americus over the same course in 

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

 iiiee 8 31 ; 8 36. • 



For 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 &5OO0 ; which challenge was never accepted. 

 Subsequently $13,000 was refused for hitn. 



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. Fehou's black 

 Stallion Ticonderoga, Kossuth winning with ease, 

 in two straight heats, in the last one, Ticonderoga 

 barely saving his distance (160 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 

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

 tkat Kossuth belongs to a trotting family— the best 

 in America, and traces his blood for upwards of 

 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. 



Persons wishing to breed from Kossuth, would do 

 weil to make early application, as he wiii positive- 

 ly not exceed the limit. 



Mares sent from a distance will be well taken 

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

" SAL.JERATUS. ' 



The subsribers offer to the trade Salseratoa of 

 different grades of strength, which they claim to be 

 of superior quality to any other in market, and en- 

 tirely free from any deleterious ingredients. 



We are the only manufacturers whose process of 

 manufacture is conducted under the immediate 

 superintendence of an experienced practical chem - 

 ist. Having been engaged for several years ia the 

 manufacture of our peculiar kind of SalsiraS«s> 

 and being the originator of those manufactured, we 

 can offer to consumers a guarantee of its gre*t excel- 

 lence which no other manufacturer can do ; the new- 

 kind of SalsEratus pompously set forth, under various 

 names, in different advertisements, being merely 

 imitations of the article we originally introduced 

 to the public. 



We warrant the quality of all goods sold by as, 

 and agree to return the purchase money, together 

 with expenses of transportation, on every article 

 that proyes to be inferior to our representation of 

 its quality.
