GOHANMA,
fH^IF.T, STAND the ensuing season at my farm, nine
/ T miles -hove Richmond, in the county of Henrico, on
the stage reid leading to Fredert, ksbnrg, known by the
name at Hall Sink, and formerly owned by Mr. William
>* tiTsion.
(Johanna is a rich blood bar. with black b-gs, five feet
tour and a halt inches high, elegantly proportioned, and
six years old next spring, and in appearance not surpassed
by any horse that the world can produce.
P E li EO RMANCES.
In the spring of 1825, (Johanns, then 3 years old, war
engaged in n sweepstake at Lftirunceville, BrmiswicA
county. m'Pe heats, £.JOO entrance, which he won in 3
neats, ^boating bafayette, Janette, (now the favorite r»i
New York,) and Betsey Archer.
His next race was in the same spring, over the Tree Hill
course, mile Ii«tet9, which he won in 3 heats, beating tlire.r
others, and making the bed time ever recorded nt thai
course.
His third race was in tho fall of I^TJ, over the New
Market course, 2 mile heats, which he won.
Mis fourth race was in the -pm.g of 1825. over the New
Market course, 4 mile heats, (Jockey Glob Purse,) which
h» won, beating the two celebrated racers FlirtiJia and
Shakspeare.
After having a hard race there, he vent over to Tree
Mi!!, and on the following week sta.ted for die Jockey
Club purse, 4 mile heap, against fresh horses, and was
then the only contending horse in the second hunt, which
was won by ,I>iel— Betsey Richards and several Olivers in
the race.
Shortly after tins lie beenme my property, since which
time, owing to the most intolerable mismanagement, he
h is heen uniformly unsuccessful, never, w ith one exccn
lion, having heen in tolerable order for a race; at which
time, his defeat was occasioned as much by the unex
ampled bad state of the course, as by the superiority of his
antagonist. In this race however, he was second, j£rjt.j
first, and the other two both distanced.
'I hreo weeks after, (having run in the mean frroe in
Norfolk, against fJVtel and Sally Hope, 3 mile heats, in
which he was second,; he ran in Nottoway, 3 mile heats,
against /Biiel, Sally Magee and Cedgaunilet; in which
race he beat the last two, end I03I the race only by a few
feet, which it was supposed by many he would have won
but for an accident—time, 1st heat 5 minutes 50 seconds;
•2d heat 6 minutes 40 seconds; being by many seconds the
fastest race ever run over that course.
His last race was over the Tree Hill course, this fall, 4
mile brat*, against Sally Walker, when one of his leaders
had given way before he started, and had been lame for
ten day-; under such circumstunccs he was of course
ocaten by that justly celebrated more; but the race never
..iclcss reflected high cicdit on him, us he distanced the
only other horse irt tho mar:.
This much at least may be said, that he has never lost
a r?fe in which be started, when the heats were broken,
and his mile race over the Tree-Hill eouise being the fast
est tint has ever been recorded there, furnishes the most
incontestible evidence of both speed and bottom
