Ugly was bred by Gen. Sumter, but usually entered by Gen. Hamp- 

 ton. He was reputed a good four mile horse. He was ugly by nature, 

 as well as by name. On one occasion, after he had distinguished him- 

 self, a gentleman in the crowd remarked, on looking at him as "he halt- 

 ed by," as if " He had been sent into this breathing world before his time, 

 scarce half made up, and that lamely and unprofitably." " Well — loho 

 would have expected S7(ch a performance from such an ugly brute .'" 

 Gen. Hampton, overhearing the observation, promptly replied, with his 

 characteristic humor, " Perhaps, Sir, you do not know who trained him!"
