We this week reproduce a letter from
the Mai/ giving a description of the per-
forinancea of the Goderich Mare Lucy,
and supplement it with some other pare
Oculars which we have learned front
K. 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,

others. She then went to Detroit, but
was beaten in the 2.19 clam by Driver

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,

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. Y., winning
first in the free-for-all, amount $250--

They, however, are not afraid to pay ea

the United States and start against them

alone Climate horses of only ordinary
speed and re utation. They have had
from six to twelve entries in merely all

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.
