fine race nag, Janus, filled her mane and tail full of sheep burs and
took her to May's race track to run against a crack pony known as Nick
Biddle, which had been brought from KY. by THOMAS, DAVID and SINGLETON
SHEHAN. The mare presented such a poor appearance with the burs in her
mane and tail, that the bets were all in favor of the pony, and nearly
every one present staked some money on the favorite. COLONEL JEFF. JONES,
who was a boy then, was there with $7.50 in his pocket, and he bet $5
of his money on the pony. When the race came off the mare beat the pony
250 yards in a run of 600, and there were some pretty long faces in
the crowd that witnessed the result. Mr. Jameson afterward sold his
little mare to a gentleman from Louisiana, for a large sum of money,
and the latter won $80,000 with her while he kept her. She made the
fastest time on record in the United States, in a race of 600 yards.
