9S LIFE OF MYTTON. 



"MYTTON AND BEARDSWORTH. 



" Arrived last week in this Town, an old broken- 

 down Racer, from the ' Union Repository,' Bir- 

 mingliam, with two Black Legs, fresh fired and 

 blistered. He is attended by an old Groom, grown 

 grey in the Service, who has jockeyed him, un- 

 bridled, through many unlucky courses, and who, 

 having lately considerably lightened his Weight, 

 (flatters himself he will Reform his style of running. 

 The old Horse starts for the County Stakes this 

 week ; to be run for on the Quarry Course. The 

 ■odds are 500 to i against him ; nevertheless the 

 Brums {i.e., Brummagems) are in high spirits, he 

 being backed by a few respectable branches of the 

 MoB-ility here. Gentlemen are recommended not to 

 go too near the Horse, he being vicious and apt to 

 kick. It is understood, that should he not win, the 

 Proprietor will take the Horse back with him to 

 Birminofham, thinkintr to work him in a Slow Coach 

 and ' black jobs,' until he is fit for the knacker.
