back, I took the liberty of thus addressing hrm, 

 " With leave from your Royal Highness I shall 

 " be glad to name how Traveller ran on his trial." 

 His Royal Highness said, '' You may name." 



I then related to His Royal Highness the trial 

 Traveller ran, and was beaten with extraordinary 

 ease. He ran worse in this match, I think, than, 

 he had done on his trial, for he appeared to me 

 notable to go a proper running pace in any part 

 of the race. My cautious manner in answering 

 Mr. W. Lake, when I said I did not know that 

 Traveller had run a good horse, was because I 

 knew none of the horses' weights they were tried 

 with but the horse Traveller that I rode.
