I have lately mentioned the name of H. Andrews, which 

 was a pleasure I could not resist, when finishing the descrip- 

 tion of the particular qualities which make him unrivalled. 

 Any one who has not seen Andrews finishing, can have no 

 idea of the enormous energy he possesses. I have seen him, 

 on losing his whip, take his cap to flog his horse ; and then 

 losing his cap, he used his right arm and hand with the utmost 

 vigour and perseverance. It is no exaggeration to say that 

 when coming up to the winning-post, he communicates energy 

 to his horse, and shoves him in front in a particular way of 

 his own, without the slightest slackening off.
