RACING, OR TURF HORSES. 215 



Rather a long catalogue is here presented of the best race-horses of 

 England and of this country, which might be extended. Those now or 

 lately upon our turf are omitted, as some doubts might be entertained of 

 their comparative merits. Of those furnished, who will agree as to the 

 pre-eminence of any two of them ; at least, to place any six above 

 ^e rest?

Another view of the comparative merits of race-horses that were not 

 contemporaries is presented by time on the same course, and with the 

 aame weight, or the relative weight for age. 



It has been showm lately, that on the Charleston Course, at three and 

 four-mile-heats, in the races won by Nina, Highlander, Jefferson Davis, 

 and Frank Allen, nearly the same time has been made ; besides the coro» 

 parison between that of Bertrand and Floride.
