speed should either do justice to the exhibitors, or give entire 
satisfaction to the public who witnessed them. 
Test trials are certainly very important, as a means of im¬ 
proving the quality of our horses, and it is therefore very 
desirable that the track itself should afford inducements to 
owners of fast horses to bring them out, and prove their quali¬ 
ties before the public. The exhibition of Horses must always 
be one of the most attractive features of our State and County 
Fairs, and it is certainly proper that the Society should make 
every reasonable effort to render such exhibitions as interest¬ 
ing and satisfactory as possible. A larger and firmer track is 
very desirable.

PEDIGREE OF BLACK HAWK STALLION “ WISCONSIN.” 
“ Wisconsin ” was foaled about the first of June, 1855. He 
was sired by “ Bucephalus,” he by the original Black Hawk, 
owned by David Hill, of Vermont. The dam of “Wisconsin” 
is a fine, blooded Duroc Mare, of unsurpassed style and most 
unaccountable endurance. 
“ Wisconsin ” stands about 15 1-2 hands high, and weighs 
about a 1000 lbs. when in condition, &c.; his color is a rich 
black, with one white foot behind.
