WHISKEY,—the name of a most excellent runner, whose recent performances on the turf laid the foundation of his present celebrity as a stallion of much promised reputation. He was bred by his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales; foaled in 1780, and got by _Saltram_ out of _Calash_, (who was got by _Herod_;) her dam (_Teresa_) by _Matchem_. In 1792, when three years old, in the July Meeting at Newmarket, he won a sweepstakes of 200 guineas, eight subscribers; and 50_l._ at Bedford. First October Meeting, a post sweepstakes of 1000 guineas each, three subscribers. The next day a subscription of 200 guineas each, eleven subscribers. Second October Meeting, a subscription of 20 guineas each, six subscribers. In the Houghton Meeting, he beat Sir F. Standish's _Sir John_ across the flat, staking 150 to 100 guineas. In 1793 (then Mr. Durand's) he won the Jockey Stakes of 100 guineas each, half forfeit, twelve subscribers. The next Meeting he beat _Halbert_ a match over the Beacon for 200 guineas. At Winchester he walked over the Course for a 50_l._ plate; and won a sweepstakes of 10 guineas each, six subscribers. He was then withdrawn from the turf, and announced as a stallion at five guineas a mare, and half a guinea the groom. Two of his get started at only two years, and were both winners. In 1799, _Clarissa_ appeared, and at two years old won 150 guineas, and 120 guineas, at Brighton. _Pamela_, three years old, 50_l._ at Brocket Hall; 200 guineas at Epsom; and 50_l._ at Ipswich. In 1800, two others appeared, each two years old, both winners at Newmarket. In 1801, _Eleanor_ started, and won 250 guineas, 700 guineas, and 200 guineas, at Newmarket; and the Derby and Oaks Stakes, both at Epsom, amounting to 1475 guineas. _Julia_ won the July Stakes, 40 guineas, and 450 guineas, at Newmarket; and _Whiskerandos_ won three prizes at Newmarket, Brighton, and Egham. In 1802, _Whirligig_ won seven prizes; _Julia_, six; _Eleanor_, three; _Gig_, two; and _Orlando_, 100 guineas, at Newmarket. Under the increasing merits of which progeny, his price as a stallion is advanced to double the original sum; standing announced to cover for 10 guineas a mare the present season, 1803, at Great Barton, near Bury St. Edmund's. WHITE-FOOTED HORSE—is always considered an indication of future weakness in the feet; such horses, in general, having hoofs which become soon brittle and battered; or an outer sole so thin at the bottom, that it compulsively submits to the propulsive force of the membranous mass within, and soon forms a preternatural prominence upon the surface, rendering the foot not only weak, but exceedingly difficult to shoe, without pressing upon the part requiring to be protected.
