 ners of 1,400 heats and 2,650 miles, being above ten to one to the for- 

 eigners.

Imported. — ^Leviathan, Fylde, Luzborough. 



Native.— Andrew, Bertrand, Eclipse, Medoc 



This year the native horses ought to have got 516 winners of 5,526 



heats and 10,146 miles, in order to have equalled the performance of 



the imported stallions. It is not worth the while to carry out the ratio 



farther, as it remains, as nearly as may be, the same, throughout ; nor 



does it appear probable that, thus far at least, if ever, the English 



horses, of no very conspicuous fame, should have taken the choice of 



the mares away from such favorites as Eclipse, Medoc, and the sons and 



grandsons of Sir Archy.
