nought's fire was Regulus, a famous colt of the
Godolphin Arabian's; Jenny Dismal was got by
Old Dismal, who won a sweep flake of one Thou
sand Guineas and five King's plates without ever
being beat. His fire was the Godolphin Arabian.
Jenny Difmal's dam was got by Lord Godolphin's
Whitefoot. In 1774, the only time Godolphin
ever ran, he beat Traveller, a celebrated colt of
Colonel Lloyd's, a match for Four Hundred Gui
neas at Leed's-Town. He since received forfeit
from Sir Peyton Skipwith's horse "gure.
The money must positively be paid before the
mares are taken away.
