Flying Childers

is said (as stories never lose by transmi ion) to have ran a mile in a minute: most probably, and most truly, he ran " one third of a mile, at the rate of a MILE in a MINUTE :" it is admitted, he ran, with nine stone two pounds upon his back, FOUR MILES in six minutes and forty-eight seconds; and this horse was undoubtedly got by, and the immediate descendant of, Darley's Arabian . Fire tail and Pumpkin ran a mile in a minute and a half; and each of their pedigrees run in a double and treble degree into the best Arabian blood in only two generations. Bay Malton ran four miles over York (in the year 1763) in seven minutes, forty-three seconds and a half; and his blood was in and in from the Go dolphin Arabian , and two Barbs in parallel directions. Eclipse ran the four miles over York, carrying twelve stone, in eight minutes, without going at his rate ; and his pedigree goes directly on the side of the DAM to Regulus , who was got by the Go dolphin Arabian ; and through his sire Marsk to Squirt , who was got by Bartlet's Childers ; from which chain of authenticated facts, it should incontrovertibly appear to every mind of impartiality, that the breed of blood horses in England has been very much improved by the judicious cro es so succe fully introduced. The pedigrees of all thorough bred horses have been so long and so justly recorded, that Mr. Weather by has given in his Stud Book, the accurate origin of above FOUR You sand horses, mares, colts, and fillies, the produce of the last sixty years only, (exclusive of numbers of an earlier date,) and in which may be traced the precise pedigree of every particular horse, up to the origin of any race or blood upon record.
