FOALS AT BONEHILL. 205 



but nothing like the easy stride of the Bay 

 Middleton colt. Mr Edmund Peel has backed 

 him with me to beat the other in the Derby. 



"3. Cli. c. by Plenipotentiary — Glentilt. A 

 sturdy, sound, muscular, hard-constitutioned-look- 

 ing colt. Looks like plating or winning the 300 

 sovereigns stake at Goodwood, but a little slack in 

 the loin, and rather short in the body ; a good 

 true galloper, 



"4. Ch. c. by Plenipotentiary — Latitude. A 

 long-legged, thin, narrow caricature of Longitude 

 and Binnacle, having all the bad points of both ; 

 won't feed, and looks in the last stage of a con- 

 sumption ; apparently weak and hardly able to 

 walk. Upon taking him into the paddock, how- 

 ever, with the Glentilt colt and with a filly by 

 Plenipotentiary out of My Dear, he proved able 

 to gallop past either of them, and appears to 

 be the quickest galloper of all the lot. We 

 galloped the three till the filly and Glentilt colt 

 were in a lather all over, but, strange to say, 

 we could not get the consumptive horse to sweat, 

 neither did he blow half so much as either of 

 the others ; but they say they can neither get 

 him to eat or drink ! ! ! 



"5. B. c. by Plenipotentiary— Vacuna. A fair- 

 sized lengthy colt, but long and weak below the 

 hocks and knees, and not a very good head, but a 

 moderate goer. 



"6. B. c. by Plenipotentiary — Lady Emmeline.
