dred in the Shape of a St Leger to be added to it, and 

 although there was only one day's rest, the distance D.I., 

 and the horse stale, he was started tor it. As a lesson to 

 his master not to force a willing horse, he was beaten ; but 

 it was very clear that freshness alone enabled Archibald 

 to win. The Great Two-year Old Stakes, in the second 

 meeting, were severally won by Lord Orford's Clearwell 

 and General Grosvenor's Glaucus, with ease ; the two then 

 ran a kind of tie in the last meeting over the Criterion 

 Course, and Glaucus won in a canter, he having previously

Having thus disposed of some of the " Cracks" whose 

 deeds have filled preceding pages, it is but fair to note 

 those " lights of other days," who passed at this time from 

 our view ; viz. Old Phantom, Roundwaist, and Woful, who 

 were sent out to Germany, with a host of young, and old, 

 and middle-aged things, respectively divided amongst 

 Baron Biel, the Baron Hertefeldt, and Mr Litchwaldt.
