HOW TO MAKE MONEY BY HOESES. 6? 



ting a Flying Dutchman, a Yoltigeur, Wild Dayrel, 

 or horses of such pretensions, or rather celebrity, 

 price becomes a secondary consideration. If we had 

 a Duke of York, or George the Fourth as reigning 

 monarchs, they certainly would give a stimulus and 

 eclat to racing, but it would be fatal to the sales of 

 the Hampton Court stud; both were far too good 

 judges of racing and race-horses to often give away 

 such a chance as Weathergage proved : it is good 

 blood, and the known fact that the royal owner of 

 these young ones never permits them to be tried, 

 that occasions their bringing the price they do. I 

 trust that my advice to a breeder not to be a racing 

 man himself, is, in a general way, correct, 



Notwithstanding this, I in no way mean to say 

 but that a man may keep race-horses, breed, and run 

 them, and at the same time profit by his breeding ; 

 but then he must, in a great measure, go on the same 

 plan I have been told haii'-dressers, or rather common 

 barbers, do by their razors : if they want two or 

 three for use, they purchase a score or two ; out of 

 these there are sure to be as many as they want that
