-O The C ample at Jockey, 



pare thereof, offer him a Quart of Oats fteeped in a Pint of Muskine or 

 Tent, but before you put them in, bruife them a little :; u' he chance to 

 - refuie it, put him fome Oats in the Whites of Eggs oiiiy ^ or to be better 

 fure of his eating Ibme of the beft aad fineft Bread, anu fome whole 

 Wheat, well fifted and dreffed, mingled with Oats, in which you muft 

 ufe no Beans •, but be fure you give him but a little of any of thefe Diets, 

 for if you fill him he will be unfit for the Race and may fail your Expec- 

 tation,' which, otherwifehe no doubt would have anlivered in each parti- 

 cular to your great Satisfaftion. 



If he empty not his Body freely, take him abroad and air him a little, 

 and fee if you can poiTibly get him to Dung and Urine, the w hich if he 

 do(the which no doubt by this time you will have taught him to do) b' ing 

 him into the Stable again, and put his Muzzle on ^ but on the contary, 

 if he will empty without any further trouble in the Stable, 'tis needlefs 

 to lead him out, and far better to let him remain till the time you are 

 defigned to run, or about half an Hour before, according as the diftance 

 is from the place he is kept to the ftarting-place. 



Juft as you are going to lead him, dip the Bitt of his Bridle in Mulca- 

 dine or Alicant, and then drawing off his Muzzle, draw on his Bridle, 

 but if you fee him inclinable to empty, let him do it before, and .to in- 

 cite him to do it more fpeedily, give him about a Pint of wafhed Oats, 

 Bread and Wheat as before you did •, then fpread foft Wax, fuch as Shoe- 

 makers ufe under your Girt and Saddle, which done, girt it gently on his 

 Back, fo that he fcarcely feels it is on •, then fpread a large white Linnen 

 Cloath over his Saddle, and over it all his other Cloaths, which likewife 

 being flightly girt, ftick wilps under his Girts or Surfmgles, but let them 

 be very foft -^ then cover him with fome piece of rich Tapiftry or Cloath 

 of State to make him fhew Gallant,after which pour down hisThroat with 

 u Drenching-Horn one Pint of Mufcadine, Alicant, or for want of either, 

 Canary. 



Then lead him forth with Courage, and fuffer him to move gently, and 

 if he offer to fmell to any Dung either old or dew, fuffer him by any 

 means to do it, or if he offer not, endeavour to make him do it, for it 

 will caufe him to evacuate, which will much lighten him and help him 

 in the Race ^ nay^ ufe double-diligence herein, by leading him to fuch 

 places as you think will fooneft provoke him to it, as heaps of Rufhes, 

 Brakes, or Heath, little Bufhes, high tufted Grafs or the like, but if 

 there happen to be no fuch in your way, then you may fpread, and light 

 up fome Straw under his Feet, making him ruftle j then whiftle, and 

 touch him gently with your Switch or Whip to make him llretch, the 

 which no doubt will effed your defire. 



Again,
