men had better seize this opportunity to

home-where my friends are invited TO

lower than he will stand again

England, that Flexible is horse Of the
highest quality: in his performances hav-
ing beaten some Of the finest horses on the
English turf, having given to horses OF
his own age, great advantage in weight ;

highest quality; his sire, Whalebone's

periodicals as remarkable for their racing
qualities, and his dam, after producing
race horses, was purchased for the King
