_Portrait of D. P. Tremesin._--Has there ever been any portrait known to
exist of one Dompe Peter Tremesin, who is supposed to have been the
earliest equestrian who performed feats on horseback, and of whom mention
is thus made in the Privy Purse Expenses of King Henry VIII., p. 218.:
"Paied to one Dompue Peter Tremesin, that _dyd ryde two horses at
once_, by waye of rewarde, C corons, _i.e._ 23l. 6s. 8d."
