 Entered for the Mare's Plate to-morrow.

Juliet, full sister to Shakespear. Cordelia, by Cyprus, out of Bonny Black. Violante, by Bay Bolton, out of a Snake Mare. Camilla, by the Curwen b. Barb, out of Roxana's dam. Rosalinde, by Childers, out of Brockels by Betty. And my ches. Mare, Arethusa.

"The chief betts at present are; even money my mare and Juliet against the field. They are all in fine condition, and it will undoubtedly be a smoking heat, for I shall order my mare to go off at score, and run it every yard; you know she'll come through without a pull. As soon as the battle is over, I'll send you an account of the victory by Tom, and am extremely sorry that your indisposition detains you from your favourite diversion, the turf.
