JOCKEYS. 325 



" No ; I am sure he would have been beaten 

 half a length," was the reply. 



From what has been said, an idea of the 

 delicacies and difiSculties of horsemanship may 

 be gained by those who have seen races un- 

 observantly. Some veterinary science is highly 

 necessary, and happily the tradition that integrity 

 is needful still lingers in many quarters. All 

 these good points are of necessity rarely found 

 in lads of the class from which our jockeys are 

 taken, and great as are the rewards of success, it 

 is scarcely a matter for surprise that it is so 

 seldom achieved. 



THE END.
