KOSSUTH was sired by that world-renowned 

 trotting horse, New York Black Hawk, out of the 

 well-known trotting mare, Lady of the Lake, and 

 she out of a thorough-bred Mambrino Mare. 

 Black Hawk, while living, was the champion of 

 the turf and all of his got are trotting horses, and

 Andrew Jackson, and a large number of other 

 fast ones,) the fasting trotting horse of his day.

 was by Why Not, and Why Not by old imported

 distinguished trotting mare, Sally Miller, who
