A CORRECTION.

[To THE EDITOR OP THE " SPECTATOR."] SIR,—I think your correspondent of last week has made a mis- take about Copenhagen ' taking a part in the Duke of Wellington's funeral in 1852. Dr. Brewer says that the horse " died, quite blind, in 1885 at the age of twenty-seven, and was buried with military honours."—I am, Sir, &c., E. BRYANS.

Radley College, Abingdon.

[We ought to have noticed the slip in our correspondent's letter. ' Copenhagen' of course was the horse which the Duke rode at Waterloo.—ED. Spectator.]
