Kossuth was foaled in Columbia County, State of 

 New York on the 9th of July 1847, is a beautiful rich 

 dark brown, five feet three inches high, of great mus- 

 cular power and symmetry of form, docile dispositipn, 

 uud can trot his mile inside of two minutes and forty 

 seconds to a wagon. His colts are remarkably fine 

 and promising, having good action, and every indica- 

 tion of speed. Three of them received first class pre- 

 miums at the State Fair of 1855, and five at the 

 Fair of 1856, and from $300 to $500 a piece has been 

 refused for some of them at one year old. 



PEDIGREE. 



KOSSUTH 

 was sired by that world renowned trotting horse New 

 York Black Hawk, out of the well known trotting mare 

 Lady of the Lake. Black Hawk while living was the 

 champion of the turf, and all of his get are trotting hor- 

 ses and command high prices. For further particu- 

 lars refer to my bills, or the turf register, where it will 

 he seen that Kossuth is not a chance horse, or one of 

 doubtful pedigree, but that he belongs to a trotting 

 family, and that one beyond dispute the very best in 

 America and traces his blood for more than half a cen- 

 tury through a line of choice ancestors — all celebrated 

 for speed and great endurance — and goes back to some 

 of the purest Arabian and Engiish Horses. Persons 

 wishing to breed from Kossuth would do well to make 

 early application as he will be limited having a tall 

 engagement. 



Mares sent from a distance will be well taken care 

 of at my stable, at lbrty cents per day. '
