NEWMARKET NOTICE OF THE JOCKEY CLUB. 183 



to that which is pure and genuine ? This is genuine unadulterated refinement. 

 With respect to the knowledge of a good horse from a bad one, it is about even 

 betting between the generality of breeders and of purchasers and if size, and a 

 cock-tail, and shewy carriage be sufficient, why should a breeder look farther 

 why should he think of thrusting a good nag upon a man, against the grain, and at 

 the same time, of reducing his own chance for a good price ? A good nag cannot 

 be bred and supported until fit for work, that is, until five years old, under perhaps, 

 from fifty to eighty pounds ; and at last a man may very likely, purchase an equally 

 good one at a London Repository, for half the money. Here lie the difficulties of 

 the case ; nevertheless, an intelligent and persevering Breeder might, in process of 

 time, amply repay himself ; since according to the universal prevalence of anomaly, 

 capital horses whilst young and fresh, never fail, in this Country, to command a 

 capital price. When a good hack might be bovight for ten or twelve pounds, we 

 have known one sold for a hundred. 



The catalogue of discouragements in Horse breeding, is so extensive, that a 

 memorandum on the other side the question, may help to cheer the spirits of the 

 Breeder. Mr. Thomas Allenson, of East Kirby, Lincolnshire, has a mare now in 

 his possession, that has bred him a foal for seventeen successive years, and is now 

 in foal to the horse Hero. If like produce like, it must surely be an object to breeders 

 to obtain stock from this prolific mare, and Mr. Allenson's price ought to be 

 accordingly.
