Sida 348 - See! from the brake the whirring pheasant springs, And mounts exulting on triumphant wings: Short is his joy; he feels the fiery wound, Flutters in blood, and panting beats the ground. Ah! what avail his glossy, varying dyes, His purple crest, and scarlet-circled eyes, The vivid green his shining plumes unfold, His painted wings, and breast that flames with gold?

Sida 74 - Pretty Boy, and 3 to 1 against Coroner. Won by half a length, five lengths between the second and third. Mr. Sargent's bf sister to Spindle, by Orlando, 8st.
Sida 99 - English archen of his time. Speaking of the notorious manner in which their strength had declined, he says, " The French soldiers were in the habit of turning their backs to the English at long range, bidding them shoot.
