 he had to run with Highlander. 



He was tried with Phalanx, Bubble, and Archi- 

 bald. When they had about half a mile to run, 

 the other horses were so very much beaten by Pha- 

 lanx that (Mr. W. Lake and Neale, who from the 

 rising ground on our right commanded every 

 horse's situation) I called to know if we might
