THE NOBLE SCIENCE.

You must endeavour to bring out your hunter, in the 

 pride of his strength, to equal this beautiful description 

 of a race- horse, and take it once, and for all, as certain^ 

 that, if you are resolved upon " doing the trick," your 

 horse must be quite as much " up to the mark" as 

 though he were about to '' start for the plate." A volume 

 would not contain rules sufficient for the attainment of 

 such a pitch of excellence : experience will be your 

 best instructor. If you have been long enough with 

 me in the stable, I have only to wish you an effective 

 monture, and beg that you will follow me 



" To-morrow to fresh fields and pastures new."
