Godolphin was bred by old colonel Baylor, and was
got by eld Fearhought out of Jenny Dismal; Fear
nought's fire was/ Regulus, a famous colt of the Go
dolphin Arabian's : Jenny Dismal was got by Old Dis

and five king's plates, without ever being beat. His
line was the Godolphin Arabian. Jenny Difmal's
dam was got by lord Godolphin's Whitefoot, in 1774.
The only time Godolphin ever ran, hh beat Travel

" He is unreasonable who is displeased at

THERE is a detail, which it appeared necessary
to make in the prosecution of r efe papers, and
yet, which I vyifhed to avoid. In certain situations of
national affairs, silence, perhaps, is more productive
0 good, than a display of follies and mifcondud. I
was wavering between what I should fay or do on this
