I have been looking through the resulta of the sixty-three racos which figure sa "Great inRafa Guide," and find that of these, :so far as we have got, niuetes have fellati to favourities, forty-four to others. Nor does this bare statement convey an acetate ides of the state of the case, for this resson: many of the nineteen hare been practical. certaintiesa fostarter and leng odd et ons horse who could hardly, in the natural equine of things, have boar beston.
