MY OBLIGATIONS. 



To all tlie good horses that I have ever owned, who 

 by their fidelity have won my regard, who by their 

 devotion have secured a place in my afiections, who 

 have obtained for their race my best eJBTorts and desires, 

 and whose names fill my heart with the tenderest of 

 memories, I desire to express my obligations for the 

 lesson which I have recorded here.
