 an old grey Arab hack and bugg}' horse, formerly

 Firefly, who had won The Colonials four years pre-

 but was unsuccessful with the others. At this meeting 

 he rode in the Arab Welter, which was carried off by 

 a horse steered by General Parrot, who, I am glad to. 

 hear, has been breeding lately some very good stock 

 in India. In 1852 Lord Ulick rode, at Sonepore,. 

 Mr. Kenneth Macleod's horses, then trained at Chuprah 

 by Mr. Hewitt, in two welter races ; in one of which 

 he beat the English horse Bedford, late Festus, by a.
