This is a fa-mous dash-ing steed, and he ap-pears to have a ve-ry smart, ac-tive young ri-der. He has a firm and grace-ful seat, and has his reins well in hand. He rides too with a great deal of cou-rage, al-though we must ad-mit that his charg-er is not like-ly to swerve from the course which he wish-es him to keep, nor, though go-ing at full gal-lop, is there any dan-ger of his be-ing thrown or run a-way with by the do-cile crea-ture on which he is mount-ed.
