Who can the proprietors lookto for support, if those most directly interested are to receive their copies free of charge ? Errata.—In the second line from the bottom of page 240, the reader will please erase the word procured and insert the word PLENIPOTENTIARY; ACCOMPANIED WITH A PORTRAIT, BY DICK, AFTER COOPER. As an appropriate embellishment of the Turf Register, its readersare piosented in this Number with a portrait of the Great Pleni-po—the best race-horse that modern, or perhaps any other days, haveproduced. There is no doubt, we believe, in the minds of English turf-men, that the subject of this article was altogether superior to any horsethat Newmarket had seen for many years ; indeed he was supposed tobe at least four pounds better than Priam was at three-year-old weights,and that is saying enough. When abroad in 1837, Maj. Davie wroteto the then Editor of this Magazine that Mr. Batson, the owner ofPlenipo, remarked that if he had more of his stock than he wanted, hemight one day be induced to sell him for a long price, but that is a dayso distant, that it is useless now to speak of it. By most sportsmenhere he is considered the best horse that has been in England sinceEc
