The manner of training _jockies_ is different from that which is applicable to pedestrians and pugilists. In regard to jockies, it is generally _wasting_, with the view to reduce their weight. This is produced by purgatives, emetics, sweats, and starvation. Their bodily strength is of no importance, as they have only to manage the reins of the courser, whose fleetness depends upon the weight he carries; and the muscular power of the rider is of no consequence to the race, provided it be equal to the fatigue of a three or four-mile heat. Training for pugilism is nearly the same as for pedestrianism, the object in both being principally to obtain additional _wind_ and strength.--But it will be best illustrated by a detail of the process observed by CRIB, the champion of England, preparatory to his grand battle with Molineaux, which took place on the 29th of September 1811. The champion arrived at Ury on the 7th of July of that year. He weighed sixteen stones; and from his mode of living in London, and the confinement of a crowded city, he had become corpulent, big-bellied, full of gross humours, and short-breathed; and it was with difficulty he could walk ten miles. He first went through a course of physic, which consisted of three dozes; but for two weeks he walked about as he pleased, and generally traversed the woods and plantations with a fowling-piece in his hand. The _reports_ of his musquet resounded everywhere through the groves and the hollows of that delightful place, to the great _terror_ of the magpies and wood-pigeons. After amusing himself in this way for about a fortnight, he then commenced his regular walking exercise, which at first was about ten or twelve miles a day. It was soon after increased to eighteen or twenty; and he ran regularly, morning and evening, a quarter of a mile at the top of his speed. In consequence of his physic and exercise, his weight was reduced, in the course of five weeks, from sixteen stones to fourteen and nine pounds. At this period, he commenced his _sweats_, and took three during the month he remained at Ury afterwards; and his weight was gradually reduced to thirteen stones and five pounds, which was ascertained to be his _pitch_ of condition, as he would not reduce farther without weakening. During the course of his training, the champion went twice to the Highlands, and took strong exercise. He walked to MAR LODGE, which is about sixty miles distant from Ury, where he arrived to dinner on the second day, being now able to go thirty miles a day with ease, and probably he could have walked twice as far if it had been necessary. He remained in the Highlands about a week each time, and amused himself with shooting. The principal advantage which he derived from these expeditions was the severe exercise he was obliged to undergo in following Capt. Barclay. He improved more in strength and wind by his journies to the Highlands than by any other part of the training process.
