PETER PIGSKIN 167 



unaffected character. No man ever saw Peter Pigskin 

 press upon hounds. He always rides as though he 

 anticipated a check, but when they " do run " and do 

 go straight, when a run is established, oh, but Peter is 

 there, imbibing delicious enjoyment as he goes. Yet 

 he has no jealousy ! He is the first to pull up, and 

 the last to move on again. Long may the old ever- 

 green flourish, and may many ambitious gentlemen, 

 who it would be impolitic in us to name, take a leaf 

 out of his book.
