Miss Woodford, Queen of the Turf<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      There is a portrait now adornin\u2019 some windows here and there labeled, \u201cMiss Woodford, the Queen of the Turf.\u201d To my own knowledge there have been in the course of the last thirty years over ten different portraits of different horses with the same general inscription under \u2018em, \u201cThe Queen of the Turf,\u201d the only difference bein\u2019 in the name of the particular \u201cqueen\u201d who was written about, worshiped and then forgotten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Thirty years ago the mare, Miss Foote, was the recognized \u201cQueen of the Turf,\u201d and she had the rare and distinguished honor of havin\u2019 a dinner given to her, or rather in her honor, though she herself didn’t do any of the eatin\u2019 or drinkin\u2019. There had been a memorable contest of speed between three then famous horses: George W. Kendall, George Morton and Miss Foote, which was held to be the finest four-mile-heat race ever run in this or any other country up to that time, and in which Miss Foote came out winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Colonel William T. Porter of Porter’s Spirit<\/em> [of the Times<\/em>] was then a high cockalorum in sportin\u2019 matters, and he was so delighted with this race that he gave a dinner to the victor at the office of his paper. This impromptu and peculiar dinner was largely attended by sports and Bohemians. One peculiarity of this dinner was the tremendous proportion, or excess of proportion, of the fluids to the solids. It was like the story of the Mississippi steamboat captain, who got angry at havin\u2019 to ship a half barrel of bread along with eleven barrels of whiskey. He wanted to know \u201cwhat in thunder the fools wanted to do with all that bread?\u201d So with this dinner. Porter\u2019s bill for the provisions was less than thirty dollars, whereas the wine bill stretched to several hundreds. Porter could stand it though, as some of his friends had won thousands on the race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Another peculiarity of this, the only dinner I have ever heard of bein\u2019 given by a man to a mare, was that the party to whom it was given was not and could not be present. But her health was drunk standin\u2019 though, with all the honors. Porter proposed, in addition, \u201cnine cheers for Miss Foote,\u201d which were given with a will and were heard all along Barclay street, where the Spirit<\/em> office was then located.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      William T. Porter was perhaps the most enthusiastic and thorough-goin\u2019 sportsman of his time in the city and this country. Among the sportin\u2019 events in which he took a special interest was the great international foot-race in which Gildersleeve and Greenhalgh came out ahead. In this race ten and one-half iles were made in one hour and twelve miles in sixty-nine minutes. The wild Indian of \u201cThe Bounding Buffalo\u201d West, the trained English athlete, and the native American sport in this race contended for supremacy, and the native American came out ahead, though not so very much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      William T. Porter was a firm believer in breedin\u2019 horses, and he believed in \u201cblood\u201d among human bein\u2019s quite as much as he did among blooded \u201cstock.\u201d He was himself an example of \u201cblood\u201d and the transmission of certain qualities. His father and his father’s father were of a sportin\u2019 turn and fond of travel and adventure, while his mother and his mother’s mother had been remarkable for their vigor and independence of mind and fondness for general literature. So William T., as a literary sport and an independent, high-toned critic, represented both his father’s and his mother’s families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      His grandmother had been, in her day, a famously determined woman. Her husband had, durin\u2019 the first war with the old country, been a Tory, and had painted the royal arms on his sleigh. He was chased by a mob one time and compelled to rub out these royal arms; but when he got home his wife painted \u2018em in again and rode out in the sleigh as if nothin\u2019 had happened. William T., with all his good nature, had a good deal of the old lady\u2019s obstinacy, and havin\u2019 determined to start a sportin\u2019 paper, did so at the last, though he had all manner of difficulties in startin\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Porter began life in New York as a printer. Horace Greeley was one of the printers workin\u2019 at the case under him while a foreman. Greeley and Porter always loved each other, and spoke good words about each other all their lives. When Porter started his Spirit of the Times<\/em> Greeley worked on the first number, although he had conscientious prejudices then against \u201csportin\u2019 papers.\u201d His prejudices were just then shared by a lot of people. Horse racin\u2019 and sportin\u2019 generally was gettin\u2019 to be considered almost disreputable. Porter, however, did all he could to overcome this prejudice. In this attempt he was aided by a number of influential sportin\u2019 gentlemen, like Commodore Stockton, of New Jersey; the Livingstons, of New York; Commodore Stevens, of Hoboken; the Hall Brothers, of New York; \u201cDick\u201d Smythe and \u201cMajor\u201d Jones, of New York; Governor Hampton, of South Carolina; Harding, of Tennessee; Colonel Johnson, of Virginia, and others of like calibre, men who loved sport for sport\u2019s sake, not as a mere means of makin\u2019 money or an excuse for cheatin\u2019; sportin\u2019 men of wealth and character like the Lorillards and Belmonts of to-day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A number of this, the right kind of sportin\u2019 men, met at the old Astor house in the Stetsons\u2019 time, and agreed to start the Union Course, Long Island. Porter was the leadin\u2019 spirit of this gatherin\u2019, and after the arrangements had all been made, all hands sat down to a merry dinner given in the Stetsons\u2019 best style. Twenty speeches were made at this dinner, and yet Charley Stevens, who timed \u2018em, said they were all, includin\u2019 his own, made inside of sixty minutes\u2013considerably less than three minutes to a speech\u2013which considerin\u2019 the dinner lasted nearly six hours, wasn’t a very heavy proportion of talk to grub, or gas to solids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Porter was just the least bit in the world vain of his skill as a trout fisherman, but then he really had somethin\u2019 to be vain of. He also prided himself on his horsemanship and his judgment in jockeys. He thought Gilpatrick, who used to ride \u201cBoston,\u201d the prince of jockeys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      He was good-natured to a fault, and at one time he nearly turned his newspaper office into a purchasin\u2019 agency and express company, gratis. He announced in his paper that he would be glad to accommodate his country subscribers by buyin\u2019 for \u2018em whatever articles in New York they wanted, and he got so many commissions to execute on this arrangement that if he hadn’t soon given it up he would have had to give up his paper. And then the gratitude of his subscribers was even worse for him than their commissions, for they sent him as marks of esteem all sorts of things and truck that he didn’t want and couldn’t use. One party sent him some rattlesnakes, another a bonnet. He gave away the bonnet, and killed the rattlesnakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      After all, it was this very geniality of nature that was the very best thing about Porter, especially as he had a certain amount of personal dignity about him and common sense, which kept it from carryin\u2019 him too far. Everybody loved him, and he loved pretty nearly everybody. His four brothers almost worshiped him. The Porter brothers were all smart. George was a lawyer, and his brother, \u201che doctor,\u201d was a professor in Coudert’s down town academy, which I have previously written about. George looked a good deal like William, and \u201cthe doctor\u201d looked so much like Martin Van Buren as to be often taken for him\u2013a mistake which always flattered the doctor immensely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The five Porter boys were tenderly attached to each other, and were all handsome. It was one of the hardest things in William T.’s life gradually to lose one by one his dear brothers. He got thus lonelier and lonelier as he got older and older, till at last he was almost glad to go and join \u2018em all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 He died regretted by the city and country alike, and \u201cdied, as he had lived, without an enemy.\u201d Such was his epitaph, and what a blessin\u2019 it would be if there were more men like him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Editor’s notes: Porter was a key figure in the founding of American sporting literature (through his encouragement of Henry William Herbert, aka “Frank Forester”) as well as Southern humor (reprinting the works of his favorite correspondents from the South. The Spirit of the Times<\/em> was the leading publication chronicling the rise of recreational sport in America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The allusion to the foot race between Gildersleeve and Greenhalgh refers to several races that took place in November and December at the Beacon track in Hoboken, New Jersey. The Nov. 21 race, with the largest purse of $1200, was for ten miles, and attracted twelve runners from the United States and Great Britain–and a Native American, John Steeprock, of the Tonawanda band of the Seneca nation. John Barlow, of England won the race, with Steeprock a close second. Gildersleeve, an American, and Greenhalgh, an Englishmen, both competed in additional races over the next month.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n
