Digitized by CjOOQ IC ADVENTURES 229 The horse-racing and steeplechasing in Great Britain are poor tame exhibitions of a horse^s prowess in comparison of what may be often witnessed in the Greater Britain, an old nag heading a mob of wild cattle or horses. Seeing what it has to do, it might be almost heard saying to the rider, * Now, young man, look out, take good care of yourself!' Off it goes at a rattling pace, leaping over fallen timber, alighting on the ground again like a bird (learned th...is from youth upwards), down and up gullies, on, on, glorying in the chase, it may be from morning till night. The horses or cattle, never having had such a hard tussling as this, obliged to give in, can stand it no longer, the old nag with her greater powers of endurance proving one too many for them ; no help for it but to allow themselves to be driven into the stockyard as quietly as a flock of sheep. The old nag has done the whole business, the rider having had nothing to do but to take care of himself The sorry part of the business is the little outcome of the old nag's heroic exploit, the owner of one of these mobs of wild horses telling me all he received for them was twenty-five shillings a-piece for ex- port to India.
