Co,ir,rr, a datk Orieva Horse. late the property of
—, Esq. a hot, fiery animal, extremely vicious,
apt to lash out behind, and a great biter. Carrier
was got by 7r eiti.,, dam by Guqiiiiie.., grand-dam
by &girdle, and great-grandam by dsberpitrre, out
of an old Cade mare. In 1793, Courier proved him.
self a colt of great promise, having distanced Tele-.
;raki, a capital horse of the day, for the sweep-
stakes over the Resolution Course. After long per-
formance, with various success, he broke down in a
match against Loudly, Britannia, and joie Ha%
it is a curious circumstance, in the history of the
turf, that Curers' r, in his prim-, was always rode by
a French Jockey, and was never once backed by a
woe Englishman. He is very aukward in his paces,
steps badly, dishes, and throws up the dirt in every
direftion. He is hard-mouthed, and has more than
once swallowed th bit in running. It is, therefore,
very unsafe to ride him, unless with a curb. For some
time. he .as been driven in a tandem, took the whip

strong t abiner, by w s:ch he bloke his chest, and is
now considered, by the knowing ones, quite duce
afi,„. Since that accident, he certainly stands
very aukwalro and appears also touched in the
wind, or what tk.issckies call, a roarer. His owners
are anxious to havth.iStersfeard; but, we think, he
is more in need of eroppitrA.ami dorho.g, and that
these operations would gm.' kiresferse his 3PP"'u-

Courier is no longer fit fot the "ad' the ear • et. the
course; but, as he is in en d condition, and has a
deal aisi.-,itood sis a: belly, he may be worthy the
*acme of some cat and dog's meat man. It is, be-
sides, not impossible, that, with good keeping, a
hackney coachman, who is a good whip, might be
Ale to work a few jells out of him still.
On Wednesday, the payment of His Kerney's
