First Premium Trotting Stallion 

 KOSSUTH. 



This justly renowned Trot- 

 ting Stallion who has re- 

 ceived at the Virginia State 

 Agricultural Society the 

 first premium two years in 

 succession (1S54 arid 18^55,) 

 and a certificate of superior- 

 ity over all trotting stallions 

 on exhibition at the late Fair of 1856, (he being dis- 

 qualified according to the rules of the Society from 

 receiving any further premium having taken it on two 

 former occasions) and who is now pronounced by 

 judges to begone of the purest bred and fastest trotting 

 stallions in America, will commence his season on the 

 first of March at the stable of the subscriber on the 

 Mechanicsville Turnpike one mile from the City of 

 Richmond. The season will expire the 20th of June. 



TERMS. 



$30 the season, if prepaid; or $35 payable at the 

 close of the season. Insurance $50. Groom fee, $1. 



Kossuth was foaled in Columbia County, State of 

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

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

 cular power and symmetry of form, docile disposition, 

 and 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 fl/st cia-s pie- 

 mill out 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. 



V ED I GHEE. 



KOSSUTH 



was sired by that world renowned trotting horse New 

 York fJlack 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 ihe turf register, where it will 

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

 doubtful pedigree, but that be 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 ofohoice 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 be will be limited having a fall 

 engagement. 



Mares sent from a distance will be well taken care 

 of at my stable, at forty cents per day.
