CORDIALS

,—medically considered, are the very reverse, in their property, of what has been said under the subject of "coolers:" they are warm aromatic articles, which stimulate to action the internal coat of the stomach, enliven the circulation, invigorate the frame, expel wind, strengthen the digestive powers; and are, perhaps, without exception, the best and most useful discovery yet made for the prevention and cure of colds in horses, as well as of some other disorders arising from an impoverished state of the blood. Horses subject to incessant fatigue in all weathers, particularly in the wet and dirty months of winter, should never be without the occasional interposition of a warm malt mash, or a CORDIAL BALL, after long journies or severe chases, whenever circumstances may render either or both necessary; the first being given at night, the latter in the morning. After a previous bleeding, these means may be considered infallible in a cold and cough, and never known to fail, if properly persevered in and attended to. The cordial balls are also exceedingly useful, where a horse is off his appetite, either from being overworked, or from the very common and very injudicious custom with weak servants, or penurious masters, of administering large quantities of nitre, (as a cheap and efficacious medicine,) till the blood is attenuated and impoverished below the standard of health, the solids reduced to a state of flaccidity, the stomach nauseated, and the digestive powers proportionally impaired.

CORIANDER

,—the name of A HORSE who acquired much celebrity by his performances upon the TURF for six years in succession. He was bred by Mr Dawson, and was got by Pot8oo's out of Lavender, who was got by Herod; her dam by Snap, out of Sweet William's dam by Cade. He was foaled in 1786. In 1789, when three years old, he beat Jericho, from the ditch-in, for 200 guineas, and Sir W. Aston's Marcia, two year old course, 100 guineas. First Spring meeting, 1790, he beat Buzzard, seven stone each, 100 guineas. Second spring meeting he beat him again for the same sum. He beat Egbert and Isabel, a sweepstakes of 100 guineas each; and Shovel, Glaucus, Alexander, and Sir Thomas, a sweepstakes of 50 guineas each; Baronet, Nimble, Egbert, and Sir Pepper, paying forfeit. He walked over for the King's hundred at Ipswich; and beat Lord Barrymore's Pellegrine the two middle miles of the Beacon for 200 guineas.

In 1791 he won a subscription purse, beating Spear, Isabel, Ruffian, Black Deuce, and Mouse. He also won the plate at Swaffham, beating Isabel and the Sister to Imperator; and the next day won the other plate, beating Clayhall. At Newmarket, in October, he beat Highlander, Serpent, Halkin, and Espersykes; after which, from the ditch-in, he beat Escape, Skylark, and Pipator.

When rising six years old, he received forfeit from Sir C. Turner's Weathercock, and won the King's plate at Guildford, beating Enchanter and Braggadocio; also the King's plate at Nottingham, beating Young Cicero.

In 1793 he won the aged plate at Newmarket, beating Dragon, Halbert, and Halkin. He won the King's plate also, beating the Duke of Bedford's Skyscraper. Second spring meeting, he won the Jocky Club plate, beating Skyscraper, Bustler, Cardock, and Pipator; and on the same day won the weight for the aged plate, beating Huby, Volanté, and Eager. In the same meeting he beat Buzzard the Beacon Course for 200 guineas.

In 1794, when aged, he won THE WHIP and 200 guineas, beating Creeper, ten stone each, over the Beacon. He won 50l. at Chelmsford, beating Sweeper, and Portland; likewise 50l. at Northampton, beating Triumvirate, and a son of Faggergill. At Newmarket, in October, he won the aged plate, beating Quetlavaca, Exciseman, and Halkin; and in the same week he beat Lord Egremont's Gohanna (giving him 24lb.) and Lord Strathmore's Hermes. In the second October meeting, being the last time of his running, he won a subscription purse, (paying 50 guineas entrance,) beating Lord Grosvenor's Exciseman, and Lord Sackville's Silver. This extraordinary horse was one of the very few who stood so many years training, and so much severe running, without an accident. He covered afterwards in the north, at seven guineas, and has produced some good runners.

CORNER TEETH

—are the four teeth at the extremities of each row in both the upper and the lower jaw, situate between the middle teeth and the tushes: the corner teeth in the lower jaw, are those which the horse sheds when four years old off, and rising five: these not spontaneously exfoliating in time to accommodate the pecuniary propensity of the dealer, he possesses the means and the practice of selling a four year old colt for a FIVE year old horse; and this is so constant, that there is with that class nothing dishonest considered in the custom.
