bfr. Dawson was good enough to let me have a
peep at Bal Ga1,' treat to one who likes to sec
the many good points that make up racing per-
fectton. cannot help thinking that she ~ the
most wonderfully shaped filly for galloptng that
have ever set eyes upon. There is nothing,
perhaps, out OF the common about her as re-
CARDS actual beauty, but have never seen a s.
year-od OF her size so deep in front, or with the
fore-legs set SO free from the body. In this re-
spect she must fairly have the delivery OF
prize fighter, whilst, as she moved i'll, her box.
her back and luitis seemed strong enough to lift
house, with quarters and hnunches shaped like
odd II she could nor gallup, and albeit that Mr.
Dawson told me then she had met with triiiing
accident she was looking uncommonly Well.-.
