BULL RUNNING
—is a pursuit of the bull in a way no less cruel and disgraceful to the humanity of this enlightened country than what has been before described. By custom in the manor of Tutbury, in Staffordshire, as mentioned at almost the head of the last article, a bull was given by the prior to the minstrels. After undergoing the torture of having his horns cut off, his ears and tail cropped and docked to the very stump, his nostrils filled with pepper, and his body besmeared with soap, he was turned out in such a pitiable state to be hunted, (this was called bull running;) and when taken, or held long enough to pull off some of his hair, he was then fastened to the stake, and baited. To the great honour, however, of the Duke of Devonshire, (Steward of Tutbury,) and not less so of the people who petitioned against it, the BULL RUNNING at Tutbury was entirely abolished in the year 1778.
BURROWS
,—are the holes or cavities in the earth of a rabbit warren, where they bring and breed up their young, as well as where they instantly retire to for safety, upon the approach of danger.
C.
CADE
—was a horse of the best blood, speed, and bottom, ever bred in the kingdom. He was foaled in 1734; got by the Godolphin Arabian; dam (Roxana) by the Bald Galloway. He beat most horses of his time, and was afterwards, as a STALLION, the sire of Changeling, Matchem, Young Cade, Mercury, Merryman, Cadormus, Bold, Bywell Tom, Victim, Turpin, and a long list of et ceteras; through the channels of whose different progenies his blood is to be found in almost every stud of celebrity from one extremity of the kingdom to the other.
CADENCE
,—divested of its mere technical idea in the manege, is, in horsemanship, what time is in music, uniformity in manners, or consistency in conduct: a horse complete in his cadence, is to be considered perfect in his action.
