R. Palmer, one of the owners of this now well-known animal. Some two years ago Lucy first appeared in Gode- rich, and was at that time owned by Messrs. E. R. Palmer, Abraham Smith and Darius Duey. During that, rummer she was used as a driving home by the family, and in the fall won nine races. The followiug year she ran twenty races, and last season took part in twenty turf exhibitions. She is a hand- some black were with white nose and one white foot, and stands fifteen hands and half an inch high. She is at pre- sent owned by Mr. E. R. Palmer, of Goderich, and Mr. A. Wells, of Aurora. The hillowing is from the letter in the Mail: She started first in the 2.19 clam at Adrian, Mich., thefirst week in June, winning second money, amount $250, being beaten by Charley Ford, tune 2.251, half -mile track. A few days later at the same place, she won the 2.23 clam race, amount .$500, :time 2.261 beating Will Code and three tir fou r others.

The next day she won see mil in the 2.23 class, amount 8200; being beaten by Kitty Bate/, -time 2.231; with Piedmont third, a horse that. has Only been beaten this one race durinv the season. Front there she travelled to Chicago tosempete in the great stake race for the 1-23 elms, with ten entries at $200 each, haif 'forfeit, with $1,000 added by the Association. During her stay there it was discovered that Lucy had contracted what was supposed to lie only a cold, hence she was entered through the big circuit, but subsequent events proved beyond a doubt 'that .Ire really had the epizootic, which affected er so much that she was unable to trot n a first-class mile track any faster than he had been showing on ordinary half - mile ',nee. The third week in July she won sectinit at Chicago, amount 8460, being beaten by Wedgewood, time 2.21. The next week she was beaten at Cleve- land. 0.. by Will Cody and Richard, Mae 2.21; winning third, amount $300. he was beaten out (if a 'piece for the first nine at Buffalo in the 2.21 class, m Monroe Chief, ' Capt.

Then t Hartford, Con., the following week, she appeared to have recovered a good deal from her illness, as she was only beaten in each heat of the 2.19 Masa by a few feet. and a few lengths by Charley Ford,.Hannnis, Driver, and Bonesetter in the fast time for six heats of 2.201, 2.19, 2.191, 2.17/, 2.184, and 2.1W. Althongh limiter', ler ownets were well satisfied at the way Lucy showed in such fast company; but the Ford party won the gamest and best race of the season. Then she journeyed west to Dunkirk, N. Y., and had to put up with third money in a free-for-all, amount $90 I will not say beaten in this race; as her ownsrs think the judges gave the race to Little Give, and Robert McGregor. Next she trotted at Salamanca, N.

They, however, are not afraid to pay ea t/mime money against the best horses in the United States and start against them if they think she is in condition, let alone Climate horses of only ordinary speed and re utation. They have had from six to twelve entries in merely all the races she started, with such good horses as Charley Ford, record 2.1; Haman, 2.171; Monroe Chief, 2,1 ; Bodesetter'119; Kitty Bates, 2.1 ; Alley, 2.19; Wedgewood, 2.191; Driver, 2.191; Will Cody, 2.191. Lucy ha; trotted in twenty mem this seseen, win- ning six, getting seven seconds, three thirds, and one fourth, her gain amount- ing in all to $4,300. She commenced training in May, 1878, and has trotted about forty-five awes, wanting twenty- four, getting second in thirteen, third in five, and one fourth. I do not think there has ever been another trotter with such short training that has ciunpaigned so successfully, taking into consideration the number of races and the very fast class of horses she had to oompete against, also the diaadvantages of being • Canadian in • foreign land, aa she had to win sure by beating the horses,drivers and the prejudice of the public. She is at present located at Goderich, appar- ently in first-class form. Neilsen Mesa& Boyd's galvanic batteries for sale at J. Wilson • drug store, Price 50c.
