that that Deterioration has been produced by the
practice Of breeding and is called, THAT is

admitted. After the mcs, dhigcnt INQUIRY an, careful
investigation, 4 believe the successful asers in
Virginia persuaded that occasional resort TO the
original stock of oriental horses is necessary To

that the best racers and breeders Engiard had
were the sons and daughters and at farthest, the
grardsons and grand daughters Of the Arabian: and
that they have depre ciats in ptoporon they were

would offer in support of the assertion is tie esta-

dates from the time ct the introduction :tl- harley
Arabian, until the death OF the Goloiphin Arabian;
which included period of about fifty years. They
were breeding extensively from oriental horses i'm
GLIDING Barbs and Turks. During that entire period
their horses continued to improve in speed and bot
tom, while the weights greatly increased; aged
horses then carried 16S pounds, and with that they
four miles, from seven minutes twenty seconds, to
seven minutes fifty seconds; from that time, say from
l770 to 1175 TO the days of Eclipse they discontinued
the breeding from the Arabian, and their weights have
been gradually decreasing; tracks to Ii9
pounds; and on none, believe they higher thai
1S3 pounds; yet there is not in England or Ame-
RIGA racer that can run the distance in the sine
in which was formerly done with their heavy weights
The next evidence is, the horses themselves barley
