 and quarters into his stock, and these qualities are assuredly 

 desirable acquisitions in the case of a hunter.

 kept a Hackney for general purposes " Try one." He is 

 strong in constitution, and the best ride or drive horse in 

 existence, providing that he is properly done by ; therefore, 

 whilst once more counselling a would-be buyer to be extra 

 firm on the question of pedigree, in order that when he asks 

 for a Hackney he may get one, the advice is, go in and pay 

 a good price for a good horse. You will never regret your 

 bargain.
