In the first place, he had a smooth, lawn-like surface prepared on the steep slope.

Then he cut out the form of a horse in the green turf, sowing the whole contour of the animal with lime.

This brought out in such bold relief the body and limbs, that, at several miles distance, you seem to see a colossal white horse standing on his four legs, perfect in form and feature, even to ear and nostril.
The symmetry is perfect, although the body, head, legs and tail cover a space of _four_ acres! The next day I took staff for Northallerton, reaching that town about the middle of the afternoon.

Passed through a highly cultivated district, and saw, for the first time, several reaping machines at work in the fields.

I was struck at the manner in which they were used.
