Wiltshire, when the clearing of the bushes laid it bare and revived inquiries as to. its origin and solicitude for it's preserva- ton, as well as for the upkeep. of it's various counterparts elsewhere.
 WeIl-known authorities have it that the horse was cut out to commeno- rate the victory of King Alfred over the Danes at Ethandune. the site of which is not far distant. Ufhngton, however, has a better specimen, as
