OLD GREYHOUND, a son of Chillaby,— Slngey (a natural Barb mare), was foaled at Hampton Court. The cover for Greyhound was in Jiarbary, after which both sire and dam were brought to England. Greyhound was sire of Othello, Sampson, (Toliath, Favourite, &c. THE WHITE D'ARCY, OR SEDBURY, TURK was sire of Old Hautboy, Grey lioyal, l^c. OLD HAUTBOY, a son of the White d'Arcy Turk,— a Royal Mare, was never trained for racing. He was sire of Grey Hautboy, Wyndham, &c. THE D'ARCY YELLOW TURK, was sire of Spanker, Brimmer, &c. THE MARSHALL, OR SELABY, TURK was sire of the Curwen Old Spot, who was sire of the dam of Alixbury, from which mare have descended the famous Agnes family, including Lily Agnes, Ormonde, Orme, &c., as well as Prince Hampton and others. THE CURWEN BAY BARB, a present to Louis the Fourteenth from Muley Ishmael, King of Morocco, was brought into England by Mr. Curwen, who procured him, together with the Thoulouse Barb, from Count Byram (Master of the Horse to Louis), and Count Thoulouse (Achiiiral of the Fleet). The Curwen Bay Barb was sire of Mixbury and Tantivy, " both very highly reputed galloways, the former of which was only thirteen hands two inclies high, and yet there were not more than two horses of his day that could beat him under light weights." He was also sire of Jh-ocklesby, Brocklesby Betty, Creeping Molly, &c. THE HONEYWOOD ARABIAN, a pure white stallion, wa.s sire of the two True Blues, " the eldest of which was the best plate horse in England for four or five years, and the younger was in very high form." THE BELGRADE TURK, taken by General Merci at the siege of Belgrade, from the Pasha of that place, and sent to the Prince de Craon, who presented him to the Prince of Lorraine (afterwards Emperor), was subsequently sold to Sir Marmaduke Wyvill. THE LEEDES ARABIAN was sire of Leedes, whose dam was by Spanker out of a jMorocco Barb mare. This mare also produced Charming Jenny (sister to Leedes), whose daughter, Betty Leedes by Careless, was the dam of the two Childers. BUSTLER, by the Helmsley Turk, bred by Mr. Place, was sire of the " Bustler Mare," from whom descended Marske, Sultan, Newminster, &c. THE DARLEY ARABIAN. THE DARLEY ARABIAN, foaled about March, 170.2, was a bay horse, some fifteen hands high, " descended from the race most esteemed amongst the Arabs." He was the property of John Brewster Darley, Esq., of Aldby Park, near York, whose brother, memher of a hunting chib at Aleppo, secured the horse for a very moderate sum, and sent him to England about the end of 1705. The Darley Arabian was sire of the celebrated Flying Childers, and his present day descendants, through Eclipse, far exceed in number those of the Goclolphin Arabian or Byerley Turk ; a fact dilhcult to account for, as there is no doubt that the Byerley Turk, through Herod and Highflyer, held, at the end of the last century and the beginning of this, a higher place in the esteem of breeders than did the race of Eclipse ; and the Godolphin Arabian, again, was at one time the most successful of all. Coming to a later date, the descendants of Eclipse, through Whalebone, have gone far ahead of all the others. Some few years since, the thoroughbred sires of any note in England comprised 260 direct descendants of Eclipse, GO of the Byerley FamoHs Jlurses. 7 Turk, and only 30 of the Goclolpliin Arabian. Of those of Eclipse, no fewer than 189 sprang from Whalebone, 19 from Whisker, 20 from Hambletonian, IS from Lottery, and 11 from Liverpool; while of those from the Bj^erley Turk, 42 were descended from Highflyer, 17 from AYoodpecker, and one from Florizel. Equally curious is it that the American stud shows the same state of affairs, with the Whalebones there, as with us, absolutely predominant. OLD MERLIN, a son of Bustler (by the Helmsley Turk), was bred by Sir Matthew Pierson, Bart. He was the winner of several important jjlates and matches, and was said to have been the best horse of his day. Merlin won a great match at Newmarket, upon which occasion " the south-country gentlemen observed to those of the north, that they would bet them gold whilst gold they had, and then they might sell their land." Several gentlemen " having entirely ruined their fortunes, a law was passed by Parliament against the recovery of any bet exceeding 10/." Old Merlin was sire of Woodcock, Castaway, &c. THE VINTNER MARE, whose pedigree was never made public, was considered to be the best bred mare in England of her day. From her descended Muley Moloch, The Wizard, all the Maid of Mash am family, Peter, Necromancer, Kilwarlin, Bendigo, &c. CROFT'S BAY BARB, a son of Chillaby,— Queen Anne's Moonah Barb Mare. From the Moonah Barb Mare have descended, in the female line. Shuttle, Charles XII., Physician, The Doctor, Longbow, Sweetmeat, &c. SNAKE, a son of the Lister Turk, — a dau. of Old Hautboy, was never trained for racing on account of a tumourous swelling supj)Osed to have been caused by some venomous reptile, but he made a considerable name for himself at the stud.

He was the sire of the dam of Bay Bolton and Lamprey, and also of the famous black mare, the dam of Capt. Hartley's Blind Stallion.

He was sire of the Bolton Grey Starling ; and died at Bolton Hall, Bedale, about 173G. THE FIRST RACE mentioned by Weatherby was one for a gold cup, value 50/., run for on Clifton and llawcliffe Ings, near the City of York, by horses six years old, in September, 1709. THE FIRST DEAD-HEAT ON RECORD occurred at York in the year 1709 also; when for a 10/. Plate — four mile heats — Button and Milkmaid, " in running the last heat, came in so near together that it could not be decided by the tryers." BASTO, a son of the Byerley Turk,- — Bay Peg by the Leedes Arabian, - — a dau. of Spanker, — a dau. of Mr. Leedes' Bald Peg (bred by General Lord Fairfax),- — a mare of the same name by His Lordship's Morocco Barb, was bred by Sir William Pamsden, Bart. Basto won several F((ij>u/(s Horses'. 9 matches at Newmarket from 1708 — 1710; "but the accounts are deficient for several years in mentioning the sums that he, as well as many other horses, ran for at that place. He beat Squirrel, Billy, Chance, Tantivy, and Brisk, giving- weight in each case ; and was looked upon, when in keeping at Newmarket, to be in very high form for running. He had an appearance of pride and spirit, which added greatly to his figure ; was remarkably strong, and was allowed to be the most beautiful horse that had ever appeared in this kingdom." THE WOODSTOCK ARABIAN was sire of Flying Whig, and of Mr. Frampton's Spider and Pontz, " two famous running horses at Newmarket." CASTAWAY was a son of Old Merlin,— Sister to liuffler by a son of Brimmer, — the noted running mare, called Dick Burton's mare, whose pedigree has long been lost. THE ALCOCK ARABIAN, " though he covered very few mares, produced some of the stoutest racers that ever went a four-mile course ; witness Mr. Panton's Old Crab, his son Spectator, and Marc Antony, who, though little more than a pony, won twenty out of twenty-eight races." THE LONSDALE BAY ARABIAN covered very few mares, and those chiefly Lord Lonsdale's. " Notwithstanding this, however, from him have descended some very excellent racers." He was sire of Monkey, Spider, the dam of Miss Eamsden, &c. GRASSHOPPER, a son of the Byerley Turk,— a dan. of Lord Bristol's Hog (by Old Hautboy), — a dau. of Colonel Charteris' Hawker, was sire of Goldenlocks, the dam of Looby. Grasshopper was the property of Sir Roger Mostyn. THE COFFIN IYiARE,adau. of theSelaby Turk,— adau. of Mr. Place's White Turk, " was stolen out of the Lord Protector's stud ; and, though strict search was made and a great reward offered for her, no account could be had, Mr. Place having kept her closely secreted in a cellar till the death of Cromwell."

PLYING CHILDEKS. FLYING CHILDERS, a bay son of the Darley Arabian, — Bettj Leedes by Old Careless (son of Spanker), — sister to Leedes by the Leedes Arabian, — a dau. of Spanker,— the old Morocco Mare, which mare was also the dam of Spanker, was bred by Leonard Childers, Esq., of Carr House, near Doneaster, in 1715, and sold when young to the Duke of Devonshire. Flying Childers was a galloway, about fourteen hands and a half in height ; and was what we call a close-made horse, short-backed and compact, whose reach lay altogether in his limbs. Eclipse, on the other hand, was the reverse of this, having great length of waist, and standing over considerable ground. If anatomical structure have any- thing to do with speed ; then, looking at their respective frames, it is evident that, at weight for age over a mile course. Eclipse must have beaten Childers. Flying Childers in his earlier days was employed to carry the letter-bag backwards and forwards between the Hall and Don- caster. On the road he beat everything that opposed him ; and, subsequently on the turf, the best that England could bring against him. He was never beaten ; though it must be added that he ran on five occasions only, and of these, but two were officially reported. The best FaiiiuKs Ilorst'-s. 13 horses in liis clay seldom ran more than five or six times, there being scarcely any plates of note, except Royal plates, and very few sweepstakes or matches made, except at Newmarket, nntil about the year 1700. In his race with Almanzor and Brown Betty over the Round Course at Newmarket, Flying- Childers (9st. 21b.) was timed by the Dukes of Devonshire and Rutland to have moved as much as 82-|- feet in a second of time, which is at the rate of close upon a mile a minute. Flying Childers proved a very valuable stallion, though he covered but few mares, besides those of the Duke of Devonshire. He died in 1741. The immense number of Inn signs and portraits still extant all tend to show the immense popularity of Flying Childers. WOODCOCK (brother to Castaway), a bay son of Merlin, was foaled in 17L"), and won the Royal Plate at York in 1721. "Proserpine and Mr. Frampton's grey gelding were the favourites before starting, and large sums were depending between the two ; unfortunately, when they had run about a mile, they both fell ; by this accident the riders, Edward Jackson and John Pearson, were so much bruised as to be obliged to be carried off the course in a carriage to Clifton, where Jackson died in a few weeks, and Pearson did not long survive him." At Lincoln Woodcock again beat Proserpine and Mr. Frampton's gelding ; but the latter turned the tables on him at Newmarket in October. "Woodcock was backed to win at high odds ; but it was observed that the gelding, true to his master's interest, convinced the friends of honest Woodcock that he only complimented him with the Royal Plate at Lincoln, with a view to their meeting at Newmarket." In April, 1722, however. Woodcock won the Royal Plate at Newmarket, beating Mr. Frampton's gelding, Proserpine, and others. " This was one of the most numerous meetings ever known at Newmarket ; for, though Woodcock was but poorly attended by his friends in October ; yet, in April, scarcely a sporting gentleman was left in the north, and those in the south were very happy to receive them ; various were their opinions, and each party were flushed with the most certam success. Mr. Frampton's gelding was the favourite ; but no sooner was a bet proposed than it was immediately taken, till a great many thousands were depending on both sides , and it was said that there had not been so much money sported on any race since that of Merlin's. Woodcock won easy. After which an old Yorkshire sportsman remarked that, ' though Woodcock had drooped like the leaves in October, yet he was as sweet as violets in the spring.' Woodcock was rode for the above races by Mr. Match'em Timms, a much esteemed and very favourite jockey." I'iniiliil ly Seymour, OLD PARTNER.

"Old Partner was a horse of great power, fine shape and beauty, the best racer of his time at Newmarket, and as fine a stallion as any up to that time bred in the kingdom." In the above portrait can be seen, both in the head and in the hind-quarters, all the characteristics of his Oriental descent ; but, already, the forcing system shows itself in the elongation of the frame, and in the strength which we express by the term "bone." HARTLEY'S BLIND STALLION, a son of the Holderness Turk,— Sir Ealph Milbanke's famous black mare (a dau. of Makeless and a D'Arcy Eoyal Mare, " and considered to be the highest and best bred mare in England of her day"), was foaled about 1715.

"The Druid" observes: "The speedy and lasting properties in Herod descended, in a remarkable degree, through AVoodpecker to Buzzard, and through Highflyer to Sir Peter. The cross with Old Snap's daughter, Papillon, brought Highflyer very early into notice with his renowned son. Sir Peter, whom no amount of money could have purchased. Sir Peter stood at Knowsley, while Pot- S -OS was at Eaton ; and his stock, like himself, were mostly rich l^rowns. They had great constitutions, but required such strong work for the post that comparatively few were brought there Sir Peter was the sire of more winners than any horse that had so far appeared on the turf. Sir Solomon was about the stoutest of his sons, and, with Jack Shepparcl on his back, he won against Cockfighter the finest four mile race ever run at Doncaster. Four eminent sires (sons of Sir Peter) kept up his charter, and these were Sir Paul, Walton, Haphazard, and Stamford, the two latter being crossed with Eclipse Famous Ilurscs. 63 mare.';. The eoiupaet little Stamford, however, who showed more quality than most of the breed, only preserved the family honours in ' tail female,' and the dams of Mameluke, Beiram, Actaeon, and Emilius, were all by him. The Haphazards were soon forgotten, despite the line cross with Mrs. Barnett by Waxy, from which union sprang the famous Filho da Puta." Of Sir Peter's stock, Sir Harry won the Derby in 1798, Arch- duke in 1799, Ditto in 1803, Paris in LSOO, Hermione the Oaks in 1794, Parasote the Oaks in 179(5; and as to the St. Leger, Fyldener won in 1806, Paulina in 1807, and Petronius in 1808, a triple succession of victories that have never before nor since fallen to the lot of one sire. Sir Peter Teazle and Waxy were both of them winners of the Derby, and each of them was the sire of four winners of that great race ; in the Oaks, however, Waxy was one ahead. The parallel may be carried further still, as both Sir Peter and Waxy finished their racing career by breaking down. Principal Performances of Sii' Peter Teazle. 1787. Epsom : Won the Derby.

In a race on the previous day, Escape, with .2 to 1 on him, ran last of four. Old Sam Chifney rode Escape in each race, and an intimation was sent to the Prince by the Jockey Club, that if he allowed Chifney to ride for him again, no gentleman would start a horse against him.

MANIAC, a chestnut dau. of Shuttle,— Anticipation by Bening- borough, — Expectation by Herod, — Skim (by the Bolton (jrrey Starling), was foaled in 1806. Maniac stood 15.2 ; and was of fine symmetrical form, with all the qualities requisite for making a good racehorse. The madness, however, of her temper defeated all attempts to put her abilities fairly to the test. She produced nineteen foals in as many successive seasons, including Lunatic (tlie dam of Bessy Bedlam), the Alderman, and Bedlamite (one of the best three-year-olds of his year). The line of the Shuttle mares has, in proportion to its numbers, formed the basis for a greater number of first class animals than any other strain, including, as it does, Aj^ology, Coronation, Crucifix, riladiateur, Isonomy, Kingston, Kisber, and Wenlock. And yet, with the exception of Maniac, no mare so descended has ever founded a family of renown such as credited to Mandane, Paradigm, Prunella, or Queen Mary. Painted In/ J. F.

Epsom : Won the Derby easily, beating Caterpillar, Illusion, Solyman, and others. " The moment Smolensko appeared there was a burst, of admiration on all sides. His fine eye, the splendid synnnetry of his limbs, the grace and power of his action, and his perfect docility, became in turn the subject of comment and approbation." Egham : Won the Magna Charta Stakes. It is somewhat remarkable that Smolensko and Caterpillar were both out of Mentor mares ; also that the first three in the Oaks of 1813 were all by Waxy, and that T. Goodwin rode the winners of both Derby and Oaks. Prior to the Derby Sir Charles Bunbury refused 5000 guineas for Smolensko.

Toinsoii. TRAMP, a bay son of Dick Andrews, — a dau. of Gohanna, — Flaxinella by Trentham, — a dau. of Woodpecker, — Everkisting by Eclipse, was foaled in 1810. " The Druid," in "Scott and Sebri.cvlit," observes— " It was quite a curiosity to see Dick Andrews with his giraffe-like neck eat from the top of the rack. In ugliness of ears and head altogether he was unrivalled, and so light was he in the body as to require very little training. Tramp, like all the tribe, was very narrow when young ; but he gradually became one of the grandest boned and grandest-looking borses in England, well worthy to be the sire of the renowned Lottery." Tramp was a nice level horse, standing just fifteen hands and two inches high, being long and low, and rather straight in his back : of all his sons Tyke resembled him the most. Tramp was a wonderful four-mile horse, and the Subscription Purse at York, in 1814, when Prime Minister (a son of Sancho) only just beat him, produced greater excitement than had ever been known on the Knavesmire. John Jackson, on Tramp, forced the pace round the bason-turn; but, by the wood. Shepherd (on Prime Minister) headed him again; however. Tramp got the lead, and cries of, FamoHx Hoixcs. 105 " Now Tramp ! " " Now Minister I " rent the air. i^ifty yards from home Shepherd got the Minister's nose in front, and increased it to half- a-length, by which distance he won. Until he possessed Bkicklock, Mr. Watt would never keep a stallion, and so he parted with Tramp for 300/. His new owner kept him for two years, and then sold him for 1400/. A cross between Tramp and a Whisker mare produced Liverpool, bred In' Mr. Watt. Tramp was very successful as a stallion ; for, at the time of his death, the total value of the stakes won by his stock amounted to 67,501/. 5^'. Among these we find two winners of the Derby (St. Giles and Dangerous), one of the St. Leger (Barefoot), and two of the Whip (Zinganee and Little Eed Rover). In the month of December, LS35, poor old Tramp, worn out with age, was shot at How Bridge farm, near Malton. Joe Andrews (Tramp's grandsire) died, in obscurity, many years before his son Dick made his blood famous through Altisidora, Manuella, and Tramp. Dick Andrews was a narrow horse, with a long- lean head and neck, but showed great breeding. Principal Performances of Tramp. 1814: Won the Cups at York, Beverley, and Pontefract.' Doncaster : Won the Prince's Stakes — four miles, and the Doncaster Cup, beating Camelopard. CANNON BALL, a bay son of Sancho, — a dau. of Weathercock (by Ruler), — Cora by Match'em, was foaled in 1810. Principal Performances. 1815. Newmarket: Won the Oatlands.

ML) LEY, a brown son of Orville, — Eleanor by Whiskey, was bred by Sir Charles Bunbury in 1810, Muley did not shine very conspicuously on the turf : but will be remembered as the sire of Margrave (winner of the St. Leger), Muley Moloch (sire of Alice Hawthorn), Little Wonder (winner of the Derby), Vespa (winner of the Oaks), &c. Muley was considered to have larger bone and greater muscular power than any thoroughbred stallion in England. J'aintcd by J. F. Herring. PARTISAN. PARTISAN, a bright bay son of Walton, — Parasol by Pot-8-os, was bred by the Duke of Grafton in ISll. Partisan stood 15.2, and was very muscular in form without heaviness. As a three-year-old his performances were by no means promising ; as, by reason of the severity of the preceding winter, it was not possible to get him into anything like racing condition ; and thus his true form was not ascertained until the following year when, as a four-year old, he showed to great advantage. Speed was his special forte. " Partisan was a beautiful short-legged horse, with a lovely head, straight hocks, and a somewhat clubby off fore-foot. The trainers of his day, one and all, were wont to refer to him with much fondness, as being like a piece of machinery in his action. Venison, if not the best, was certainly the gamest of all his sons ; but that little horse could never do himself justice, as his very long and sweeping action unfitted him for forcing the running, as he was often obliged to do. Gladiator, another of his distinguished sons, was a very blood-like dark chestnut, very delicate, and requiring great care in his preparation. With Bay Middleton out of the way he would have won the Derby, and he never ran again, being Fa)H()N-s Jlor.se-s. 107 eventually sold for .OOOU guineas and sent to France. For Sweetmeat's sake alone lie was worth all the money, and even more ; for he left us Queen Mary, the dam of Blink Bonny, and grand-dam of Caller Ou. Pai'tisan w^as also the sire of Mameluke and Glaucus, a quartette worthy to rank Avith the Whalebones." Another son of his, Patron, won the Two Thousand Guineas ; and a daughter, Cyprian, won the Oaks. OLIVE, a bay son of Sir Oliver (by Sir Peter Teazle),- — Scotina by Delpini, — Scota by Eclipse, — Harmony by Herod, — Rutilia by Blank, was bred by Lord Egremont in 1811. Principal Performances. 1814. Newmarket : Won the Two Thousand Guineas — fourteen runners, including Mulatto, Spectre, Thunderbolt, Medora, and Magician. This was his only win. BLUCHER, a bay son of Waxy, — Paulina by Buzzard, — a dau. of Trentham, — Sister to Drone, was bred by the Duke of Grafton in 1811. Principal Performances. 1814. Won the Newmarket Stakes. Epsom: Won the Derby. " This race excited unusual interest, the sporting world being much divided in opinion as to the respective merits of the horses. The Haphazard Colt (who ran second to Olive in the Two Thousand Guineas) made the running at a very severe pace, and was never headed till within a very few strides of home, when Will Arnull, on Blucher, challenged, and, after a desperate struggle, won by a neck, all the rest being beaten off. The pace all through was tremendous." lYIEDORA, a chestnut dau. of Selim, — a dau. of Sir Harry, — a dau. of Volunteer (by Eclipse), — a dau. of Herod, — Goldengrove by Blank, — Spmster by Old Partner, was bred by the Duke of Eutland in 1811.

Epsom (Sam Barnard) : W^on the Oaks, beating Vestal, Wire, and others. Ascot : Won the Windsor Forest Stakes, and the Billingbear Stakes. Medora was the dam of Gulnare (winner of the Oaks of 1827), of Posthuma, Pucelle, and several other good runners. WILLIAM, a bay son of Governor (by Trumpator), — a dau. of Spadille, — a dau. of Dungannon, — Pastorella by Otho, — Diomed's dam, w^as bred by the Duke of Hamilton in 1811 ; and won the St. Leger of 1814. J. F. Herring. DOCTOR SYNTAX. DOCTOR SYNTAX, a brown son of Paynator (by Trumpator), — a dau. of Benin gborough, — Jenny Mole by Carbuncle (son of Babraliam Blank), — a dau. of Prince T'Quassa (son of Snip), — a dau. of Regulus, a dau. of Old Partner, was bred by H. Osbaldeston, Esq. in 1811. " ' The Doctor ' as they so fondly termed him in the north, was in every way a very remarkable horse to look at, being barely fifteen hands high, very broad at the base of the nose, with an eye full and bright as a hawk's, a high drooping rump, and short quarters. He was very short in his coat, which was mouse-coloured. A slight canter would bring out his veins so strongly that he looked as if covered with network. He had splendid legs, and a strong muscular head ; but could never bear either whip or spur. Bob Johnson could always get every ounce out of him by merely stroking and talking to him. Bill Scott, who rode him in four of his races, used to hiss at him furiously." (From " The Druid.") Dr. Syntax won the Cup at Preston in seven successive years, commencing in 1815 ; also the Cups at Eichmond and Lancaster, each no less than five times ; in addition to various other Cups and races, and winning altogether on thirty-two occasions. PRUDENCE, a brown dau. of Waxy, — Prunella by Highflyer, was Famous Horses. 109 bred by the Duke of Grafton in 1811 ; and was one of the most highly- prized of his brood mares. She was never trained for racing, but was the dam of the following excellent runners — viz. : Rowena by Haphazard (winner of the 1000 Gruineas, and second to Lord Egremont's Caroline, by Whalebone, in the Oaks of 18.20) ; Reginald by Haphazard (winner of the Two Thousand Guineas, and second to Gustavus for the Derby of 18.21) ; Rebecca by Soothsayer (winner in 1824 at Newmarket of the Riddlesworth Stakes of 200 guineas each, value 2000 guineas; of the Dinner Stakes of 300 guineas each, beating the Derby winner Cedric ; second to Cobweb for the 1000 Guineas, and third to Cobweb for the Oaks) ; Rufus, by Election (winner, in 1825, of the Riddlesworth Stakes, and second to Middleton for the Derby of 1825. The defeat of Rufus by Middleton caused great sensation in sporting circles, his victory in the minds of many being well assured, notwithstanding Lord Jersey's dark colt started first favourite) ; Roderick, by Rubens, foaled in 1824 ; Ronald, by Centaur, foaled in 1826 ; and RujDert, by Emilius, foaled in 1827, all of whom were very fair performers, but not fortunate as winners. FILHO DA PUTA, a brown son of Haphazard, — Mrs. Barnett by Waxy, — a dau. of Woodpecker, — Heinel by Squirrel, was foaled on the 14th April, 1812. Filho da Puta was fully sixteen hands high, and as good as he looked ; but, like Touchstone, he went very wide behind when galloping. Principal Performances. 1815. Doncaster : Won the St, Leger, and the Club Stakes. Richmond : Won the Cup, beating Dr. Syntax. 1810. Newmarket (R.M.) : Giving 71b., was beaten a neck by Sir Joshua in a match for 1000 sovs., run during a heavy fall of snow. Filho was beaten in consequence of his suddenly rearing at the starting post, and losing thereby several lengths, which he could not recover. It was also said that, on coming down Pushes Hill, he slipped and nearly fell. Doncaster : Won the Cup. WHISKER. WHISKER, a rich bay son of Wux}', — Penelope by Trumpator, was bred by the Duke of Grrafton in 1812 ; and this union of the Darley, Byerley, and Grodolphin strains may be looked upon as almost the founda- tion of the superlative excellence of the English thoroughbred ; for nearly every modern racehorse of special quality claims descent from either Whisker or his brother Whalebone. In early times the northern and southern breeds of horses were kej^t very distinct, and Whisker was the first of the southern cracks to go north. "In general appearance Whisker was as near perfection as a horse could be ; and his blood descended, through The Colonel and Chatham, to Woolwich (who was a perfect wonder over a distance of ground) ; and, through Economist, to Harkaway and his son, King Tom. Irrespective of Emma, the Whisker mares were always of an uncommon stamp. Liverpool, Tearaway, Euclid, Knight of the Whistle, The Era, Mango, Mundig, Cother- stone. Meteor, Mowerina, and Theon were all of them out of Whisker's daughters ; and the famous mare Catherina, who survived all the others, dying at the age of thirty-two, ran in 171 races." (From " The Druid.") ¥(i ))/ o Ns ]/() I sr.s . Ill Principal Performances. 1815. Newmarket: Not placed for the Two Thousand Gruineas won by Tigris. Second for the Newmarket Stakes to Busto. Epsom (T. (xoodison) : Won the Derby. " At the furzes Raphael and Whisker joined the leaders, Busto still leading, a position he maintained to within .:?()() yards of home, where Raphael came up and deprived him of the lead ; but was, on the instant, challenged by Whisker. These two ran locked together till about four strides from the winning-post, when Whisker got his head in front ; and, despite John Jackson's strenuous efforts on Raphael, won a magnificent race by half-a- head, Busto being only a neck behind Raphael. Jackson was thrown off just after passing the chair, but sustained no injury. 1810. New- market : Won the Port Stakes ; and, in receipt of 01b., beat Sir Joshua in a match (A.F.).

"Mr. Eeed had the ofPer of Blacklock for 50/. ; but he neither liked his forelegs nor the recollection of his dam when he saw her crawling past his windows in York on her way to the stables of Mr. Moss, who had bought her for 3/. Blacklock's most desperate race was the four miles over York Course with Magistrate, whom he defeated by half-a-head. The severity of the running, however, finished them both. Magistrate never ran again; and, after his defeat on the following da}^ by St. Helena, Blacklock was saddled no more. The famous mare. The Duchess, by Cardinal York, led Blacklock in most of his exercise gallops ; and, on one occasion, Tom Peirse exclaimed, in his anguish, when he saw the great half -moon head and seven-league stride of Blacklock at work, ' Father's going to kill the mare with that half- thick of a horse.' Wm. Peirse, Tom's father, trained both The Duchess and Blacklock." Principal Performances. 1817. Doncaster : Ran second in the Great St. Leger to Ebor. Tommy Sykes, Mr. Watt's stiicI-gTooni, was so eontident i^lacklock would win, that his only orders to Jackson were, " Ride him as thou lik'st, only lay thee hands down, and let him stride along, and he'll distance the lot ; look oot for me at the distance-post, and I'll tell thee then what to do." At the distance, where Blacklock had a three-lengths' lead, Sykes shouted out — " Pull till'em, John, pull till'em, thou hast it all thy own way," words which also fell on the ear of Bob Johnson, who instantly pulled Ebor on one side that Jackson might not see him, and snapped him on the post by a head. Sykes was frantic with rage ; and, from that moment, never ceased scheming to procure Jackson's dismissal from Mr. Watt's service, in which he eventually succeeded. But for Sykes's interference, Blacklock would have won very easily. Won the (lascoigne Stakes, beating St. Helena. 1818. Doncaster -. Won the Doncaster Stakes — four miles; and in another race beat Rasping, who had, on the previous day, won the Cup. 1819. York Spring: Won the Cup. York August: Won the Great Subscription, beating The Duchess and St. Helena. Blacklock was sire of Velocipede, Voltaire, Brutandorf, and a host of other winners, sires, and brood mares ; and through A^oltaire comes the line of Voltigeur, Vedette, Galopin, and St. Simon. In the pedigree of Blacklock are eighteen crosses of the Godolphin Arabian, sixteen of the Darley Arabian, sixteen of the Byerley Turk, and twenty of the Lister Turk, the latter being due to the fact that Eclipse alone showed five strains of this cele- brated sire. In 1894 the winning descendants of Blacklock numbered 100, who appropriated between them '1()\ races of the aggregate value of 76,770/. 10.s\ AZOR, a chestnut son of Selini (by Buzzard), — Zoraida by Don Quixote (son of Eclipse), — Lady Cow by John Bull, was foaled in 1814, and won the Derby of 1817, beating Young Wizard, Manfred, Waterloo, &c.

Reveller was a thick -necked liorse, with very square hips and short ribs. He was a fine goer, and always ran with his head down. " His defeat of Doctor Syntax for the Cup at Preston (which the Doctor had won for seven years in succession, and against all comers) astonished the Preston ites even more than did the defeat of Bee's -wing for the Northumberland Plate confound and amaze the Northumbrians."

A contributor to the " Old Sporting Magazine '* says : — " I saw Sultan run all his races ; but, if defeated, I never saw him run a jaded, shuffling, spirit-broken horse. He had his favourite courses, in which, though carrying very heavyweights, he never had his ecpial. From the high form which Sultan showed in the Derby, he speedily rose into high favour for the Doncaster St. Leger. A few days, however, before that event came off, Avith the betting only 3 to 1 against him, in taking his morning gallop over the course he unfortunately broke down, and was with difficulty got into Mr. Maw's stables at Bellevue, adjoining the course. The consternation that ensued bars all words, and cuts description short." "The Druid" writes — " When Sultan of the lovely head, long back ribs, and muscuhir quarters, was purchased at seven, his legs had become quite fine. The T.Y.C. was his forte ; but he Famoif-s Horses. 121 could get well over the flat. He was a long horse, and many were wont to compare him to the print of the Uarley Arabian. His stock were lleshy and good doers ; and, for beauty, Vanish had no peer among them." Sultan was the sire of Augustus, Beiram, Green Mantle, Ualata, Varna, ]Meeca, Frederica, Circassian, Destiny, Eva, Jereed, Aclimet, Glencoe, and Bay ^liddleton ; these last two alone sufficing to exalt the fame of any sire to its highest pitcli of excellence ; to say nothing of Aurelius, Caliph, Csesar, Clarion, Kremlin, Turban, and a host of winners far too numerous to mention.

This race was run twice (" in consequence of a representation to the stewards that several horses had not gone off with the rest").

F. Herring. THEODOEE. THEODORE, a bay son of Wofnl,— Rosalind (Blacklock's clam) by Coriander, was foaled in 1819. Theodore's Adetory for the St. Leger was an astounding surprise ; for, though a very speedy horse, he was so lame and unsound that he could scarcely walk when he appeared on the course. Mr. Petre thought so badly of his chance that he sold his book, with full control of the horse for this race, to Mr. Ehodes Mills for 200/., wdio made some thousands by the bargain. When John Jackson was ordered to ride him, he burst into tears, exclaiming, " What ! Eide such a cripple as that? " Jackson's instructions were to race all through at his best pace, and most rigidly he observed them ; for he struck his spurs into Theodore's flanks the moment they started, never giving him time to think of his corns or other ailments. He went off with the lead, was never headed, and w^on triumphantly by four lengths. One bet of 1000/. to a crown was laid against him, and another of 100/. to a walking cane. Phosphorus won the Derby under somewhat similar circumstances. Principal Performances. 1822. York August : Won the York St. Leger.

Epsom : Unplaced for the Oaks, won by Pastille. Newmarket : Won the First Class of the Oatlands. WANTON, THEODORE, MAYDAY. Mr. Herring " has represented the three horses as they appeared on coming in at the rails ; and those acquainted with John Jackson's features and style of riding will easily recognise his portrait on Wanton. At the finish, all three horses were so near together that it was impossible for any- one but the judge to say which had won. Jackson rode admirably ; he nursed his horse, in a beaten state, never using whip or spur, lest he should swerve. So near a thing was it, that each jockey thought he had won." I'aijiUd I'll /;. EM I LI us, a bay son of Orville, — Emily by Stamford, — a dan. of Whiskey, — Grey Dorimant by Dorimant, was foaled in 1820. " Emilins," says " The Drnid," " was Orville's best son, inheriting his plain head, bnt was not so coarse in appearance. He was a mnscular, compact horse, with great chest and powerful arms, but rather short legs, the hinder ones being unusually straight. Emilius was perfectly well until just before his death, which was caused by one of the stable-boys giving him a feed of whole, unbruised oats, which he was quite unable to masticate. The line of Emilius did not go on in very regular order. The Bizarre line, too, through Orville, stopped with Eat-trap, who stai-ted first favourite for the Derby in 1837, but who will be better remembered by the severest and most punishing of races which (ridden by Arthur Pavis) he contested with Mango (Nat Flatman) at Ascot in 1837. As regards the line of Emilius, Recovery and his singularly pretty stock fell into disrepute. Euclid died very early ; and Theon, who showed a deal more quality than any of the family, had very few blood mares sent to him. Lastly, the mighty Plenipotentiary, whose magnificent frame gave higher promise, left no mark beh'nd him at the stud." Principal Performances of Emilius. 18.23. Newmarket: Won the Piddles worth Stakes. Epsom : Won the Derby — eleven runners, including Tancred and Nicolo (winner of the Fcnnoii^ Ifor.'^cs'. 129 Two Tliousaud).

After three false starts, twenty-three of them went away witliout the order to " go " having been given ; and, although called back by the bugle, the}^ ran the whole course, the Eosanne colt, by Comus, coming in first, Barefoot second, and Comte D'Artois third. Twelve only ran in the proper race, Barefoot winning, Comte D'Artois finishing second, while the Eosanne colt was unplaced. 1824. Ascot: Second for the Gold Cup to Bizarre. 1825.

Newmarket: Upon his first appearance in public, Nicolo won the Two Thousand Guineas — seven runners, including Talisman, Zealot, and Bizarre. A few days later he won the Newmarket Stakes, beating Zinc, Bizarre, and others, but was unplaced for the Derby. K LOTTERY, a very blood-like brown-bay son of Tramp, — -Mandane by Pot-8-os, was foaled in 1820. The temper of Lottery was very bad ; but, tliougli the spirit was nearly galloped out of him, he was never subdued. When he could not get his rider out of the saddle, he would lie down and roll. Mr. Watt was so apprehensive of serious mischief that he w^ished to have him shot ; but, being persuaded to sell him, he parted with him for 450 guineas ; and the purchaser subsequently refused 3000 guineas for him. One morning, while at exercise, he rushed at a farm labourer, and struck him with his foreleg ; and, on another occasion, when Shepherd rode down to the paddock to have a look at him, he became so furious, that Shej)herd dismounted from his hack, and the two horses galloped off to the stable together. Lottery stood fully sixteen hands high ; and his racing-like jDoints and figure speak for themselves. He was indeed the horse of a century, and many of his races were splendid exhibitions of courage and speed. His finest race was for the Doncaster Cup, in 1825, when he made his own running all the way, beating Long- waist by half-a-neck, and leaving the rest of the field half-a-mile behind. In private. Lottery could run clean away from his half-brother, Barefoot, and he was without doubt the best horse of his day , but, at one time, he was miserably treated and mismanaged, serving mares and being only Famous Horses. 131 lialf -trained at tlie time that he was engaged to compete in h^ng courses, and with some of the hest horses of his time. At York on one occasion his condition was so bad as to excite the public indignation, which vented itself in exchimations of " Take him away; he is not fit to run a yard." Lottery was eventually purchased by the French Government. Principal Performances. 18.23. Doncaster : Lottery was one of the fifteen horses that were withdrawn, after the false start for the St. Leger, won by Bare- foot.

The engraving of this famous mare is from a highly finished and admir- able likeness in oils by the younger Marshall. When this portrait was taken Cobwel:) M^as nine years old and had just dropped her third foal. All who had ever seen Cobweb in training jDronounced her to be the queen of racing mares. The elegance of her outline, her splendid symmetry, and legs so finely and beautifully formed, and black as ebony itself, combined to render the materials and proportions of which she was composed altogether matchless. Her small muzzle brings forcil)ly to recollection the old prevailing notion that it is an infallible sign of the highest breeding when the muzzle of a racer is so small that he could drink out of a tumbler.

"They who saw this race would never forget it ; not only was it the most exciting, but the truest run race ever witnessed. The magnificent riding of each jockey was beyond all praise. Very large sums changed hands on this great occasion, greater, it was said, than in the famous match between Sir Joshua and Filho-da-Puta. The pace throughout, owing to the riding orders from the respective owners of the competitors, was tremendous. Both horses kept very close together the whole distance (A.F.), Cedric winning in the end by half-a-length. Cedric, if not the best of his year, was a good honest horse, and an excellent racer."

Middleton only ran once, when he won the Derby of 18.25 — sixteen runners, including liufus (winner of the Eiddlesworth) and Actaeon. " Rufus was brought to the post in superb condition, and looked all over a first-rate racehorse ; but in the preparatory canter, it was evident he w^ould find a very dangerous opponent in Middleton, whose fine sweeping action was universally admired, insomuch so, that in several instances 5 to 4 was taken about him before the horses reached the post. As they topped the hill, the whole of them were in a cluster, Eufus leading by half-a-length. The pace was tremendous, and yet they all passed Tattenham Corner well, not one as yet being beaten. Entering the straight Eufus was still leading ; and, after crossing the road, Sam Chifney carried Hogarth into the second place, Robinson simultaneously bringing Middleton into the third, who soon after headed Hogarth, though Chifney 's amazing efforts to hold his place were worthy both of himself and the occasion. It was indeed the most memorable feature in the race. A quarter of a mile from home, Rufus was seen suddenly to flag, and Arnull to raise his whip. Just before this he had been watching Hogarth ; and, on the instant, Robinson came alongside of him, made his rush, shot by him on the whip hand, and won, hands Fa)iioi/s Horses. 135 down, by three lengths. Muleteer was fourth, and the rest quite beaten off. The result conclusively proved that, as between Rufus and Middleton, the winner was far away the faster and better horse of the two. Eobinson rode in his coolest and finest manner."

" Fleur-de-Lis never looked more beautiful in her life, so bright, so buoyant, so light, so strong, and so full of her old fire and spirit ; but the fact is that she never at any time possessed the speed of Priam, which, on this occasion, proved too great for her ; and being, moreover, eight years old, she had doubtless lost somewhat of her old powers of running. Game she was to the last. Looking at the weight which Priam carried as a four-year-old, the result of this race j^laced him, unquestionably, at the head of all the horses of his time." Fleur-de-Lis did not run again.

" The Druid," in " Silk and Scarlet," observes — " The cart-horse quartered Camel can fairly challenge Sir Hercules for the Whalebone wreath, with the two famous brothers. Touchstone and Launcelot. The curious growth of Camel's quarters was owing to his having fallen backwards when a yearling" In "Scott and Sebright," " The Druid " remarks—" Mr. Theobald, ot Stockwell, w^as one of the most remarkable of the Southern patriarchs. The old gentleman swore by Whalebone, Whisker, and Orville ; and Camel, of the Whalebone and Selim blood, whom he bought from Lord Egremont, held the undisturbed premiership) of his stud. This horse was as good as an annuity of 800/. to Mr. Theobald for several seasons after the performances of Touchstone had brought him so prominently into notice, while Caravan, Wapiti, Callisto, and others carried on the game. When the American agent arrived, and bid Mr. Theobald five thousand Famous Horses. 141 guineas for him, lie ' gave a verdict without turning round in the Ixjx,' and would not even allow Lowry time to strip the brown before he refused the offer. Camel was then seventeen years old, and he lived for six seasons more. Mr. Cooper, the great surgeon, always maintained that he never looked over a more powerful piece of machinery. His gaskins were enormous, and his leverage so great that, when Lowry (Mr. Theobald's stud-groom) lunged him, he could leap mid-air almost to the last." Principal Performances. 18.25.

Doncaster: Won the St. Leg-er, beating- Mulatto, Bedlamite, Belzoni, and Boyal Oak. " At the Red House all were beaten, except Tarrare, Bedlamite, and Mulatto, who ran every inch of the ground. At one time, Bedlamite came up to Tarrare's head, and for a great distance the race was most beautiful, and the issue very doubtful. , Two hundred yards from home, it looked like a dead-heat between Tarrare and Bedlamite ; but now the good head and helping hand of Sam Day, gave Mulatto a strong turn, and he came to the front like a winner ; but, though he ran as honest as truth, he could not quite reach Tarrare, and was beaten by half-a-length, with Bedlamite close up." 1827.

York: Won the Fitzwilliam Stakes, beating Moonshine and Actseon. "Actseon, who was in receipt of a year and lib. from Mulatto, was very refractory at the post, and all through the race preferred hanging to the cords to going straight, to the great mortification of his rider, who had a good lump of money on him, not believing that any horse in the Kingdom was capable of giving the weight to Acta^on." At the same meeting, ran second to Grranby for the Great Subscription — four miles — with Acta^on third.

At the distance it was any odds on (xlenartney ; but Edwards taking a strong pull at him, Robinson, with great judgment, instantly slipped Mameluke and won by a length. It was universally remarked that, had Edwards' bridle broke, Glenartney must have won. After the race, Edwards frankly admitted his mistake, adding also that Lord Jersey's orders were that each jockey was to do his best to win. Mameluke was sold to Mr. John Gully for 4000/., whilst no amount of money could have purchased Glenartney. Second for the St. Leger to Matilda. Owing to the many false starts, Mameluke became quite unmanageable, and Chifney had the greatest difficulty in Fanions Horses. 145 getting him to the post.

" The Druid " remarks : " It was to Eaton Hall that old Emma, five times over, took her eight days' journey from Streatlam ; and Cotherstone and Mowerina (dam of West Australian) were the best rewards of her toil. Seven years previously she had thrown her first Derby winner, Mundig, to the game, coarse Catton, who was great even in an age abounding with four milers, and would run every yard of the course. Mundig was the biggest and thickest foal she ever dropped, slovenly in his style of going, and with very great hips. Emma herself was low and long, half-an-inch under fifteen-two, but not so big in her limbs as her dam, the dappled bay Gribside Fairy. Emma died in her twenty-seventh year, quite worn out. At night she had taken her mash as usual, and then she had struggled to the door, where she was found in the morning, stretched out and cold. Her form is still flourishing on the Cotherstone banner, which Mr. Herring painted for Mr. Bowes after the Derby of 1843. Cotherstone himself in the central compartment. Bill Scott up ; while Whalebone, Camel, and Touchstone (his noble progenitors), on one side, and Whisker, Gibside Fairy, and Emma on the other, gracefully encircle him with the Famous Horses. 1 47 'Streatlam' coat of arms."

When a yearling she measured only fourteen hands one inch and a half, just an inch higher than Whisker's son. The Colonel, at the same age. A handsomer little filly than Matilda, and a finer and more slashing colt than Mameluke, never met together on any racecourse. Mr. Petre eventually gave Matilda to the Duke of Cleveland.

From this point a very fine race ensued, Mameluke once getting his head in front; but he could not sustain the effort, and Matilda passed the post half-a-length in front. Eobinson's riding of Matilda was much praised ; and it is said that a Scotch admirer presented him with 1000/. 1828.

She was a j)rodigious favourite with the public, and was as good as she looked ; but her lot was cast at a time when many first-class animals were on the Turf. U, , ..,, ^j,„nU„y. DEFENCE, a bay son of Whalebone, — Defiance by Enbens, — Little Folly by Highland Fling (son of Spadille, — Coelia by Herod), Harriet by Volunteer, — a dau. of Alfred, — Magnolia by Marske, — a dau. of Babrahani, — a dau. of Sedbury (by Old Partner, — the Old Montagu Mare), — Ebony by Flying Childers, was foaled in 1824. Standing a trifle under fifteen-two, Defence was a horse of very fine mould and great muscular power ; and, altogether, one of the most compact animals ever seen. He imparted to his stock the stamina and lasting powers which so pre-eminently distinguished the Wlialebone blood ; but the strain through him has gradually become extinct. Defence started but once, viz. : in the Derby of 1827, when he was so seriously lamed as to compel his retire- ment from the Turf; but he gained imperishable renown at the stud. The Emperor (sire of Monarque and grand-sire of the triple-crowned Gladiateur) was his best son ; but he was also sire of ^gis. Fortress, Deceit, Deception, Lalla Eookh, &c., &c. lYlARlA, a chestnut dau. of Waterloo (by Walton, — Penelope), — Belvoirina by Stamford, — the grey Sister to Silver by Mercury, — a dau. of Herod, — Young Hag by Skim, was foaled at Hampton Court in 1824. Maria was a most beautiful little creature, and her style of running quite FamoiiH }[or-scs. 149 captivating. She was a great favourite with George the Fourth. At one time, indeed, His Majesty was as partial to the stock of Waterloo as he had been to that of Trumpator and Gohanna. It was a saying of the trainers that " it would take twice round the Ascot Cup Course, at the very best pace, before Maria would blow out a rush-light." Principal performances. 1820. Won the Prendergast Stakes. 1827. Ascot: Won the Swinley Stakes and the Windsor Forest Stakes. 1828. Bath: Won the Somersetshire Stakes. Eg-ham : Beat Tom Thumb. This was the last race meeting Georu^e the Fourth attended. He came on to the course in an open barouche with four splendid bays, and attended by Lord Albemarle, the Master of the Horse. Eising in his carriage. His Majesty turned towards the Ring ; and, in loud tones, oifered to lay GOOO to 4000 on Maria. Robinson not seeing Lye on Tom Thumb, on making the last turn, the latter rushed past him like a wdiirlwind, Robinson being so amazed that he pulled Maria short up for the moment, and only won on the post by a short head by dint of the most resolute riding. The King was furious. LAUREL, a fine, powerful, dark brown son of Blacklock, — Wagtail by Prime Minister (son of Sancho, — Miss Hornpipe Teazle by Sir Peter, — Hornpipe by Trumpator, — a dau. of Herod, — Sister to Eclipse), — adau. of Orville, — Miss Grimstone by Weasel, — a dau. of Ancaster, — a dau. of the Damascus Ai'abian, — a dau. of Sampson, — a dau. of Oroonoko (a son of Old Crab), — Sophia by the Godolphin Arabian, was foaled in 1824. Principal Performances. 1827. Third for the Doncaster St. Leger to Matilda and Mameluke. 1828. York: Beat Matilda and Mulatto. Won the Doncaster Cup, the field including Longwaist and Mameluke. 1829. Doncaster Cup. At the distance, Robinson called upon Fleur-de- Lis ; but the game old mare was already beaten. A few strides from home Voltaire got his head in front of Laurel, and won, after a slashing set-to, by half-a-length. Lincoln : Second to Fleur-de-Lis for the Grand Falconer's Cup. 1830. York Cup. Laurel gained considerable advantage at the start, which he made the most of by setting a tremendous pace, holding a lead of several lengths for a mile and a half ; but, at the finish, he could only just win from Maria by half-a-length, after a severe struggle. 1831. Second to Maria for both the York Cup and the Doncaster Stakes. P,ii,il,'fi Oil Abrnhnin Oxiper. P.. A. CADLAND (j. ROBINSON UP) . CADLAND, a brown son of Andrew (by Orville, — Morel by Sorcerer), — Sorcery by Sorcerer, was foaled in iS^o. Principal Performances. 1S.27. Cadland did not run as a two-year-old. 18.28. Newmarket : Won the Two Thousand Gruineas. Epsom -. Won the Derby. A splendid race from the distance between Cadland and The Colonel ended in a dead-heat, with Zinganee beaten half-a-length only. In the deciding heat, Cadland forced the pace, holding a good lead until nearing the distance, when the Colonel challenged, and, after a desperate struggle, was defeated by less than half-a-length. It was said that Scott (who rode the Colonel) was highly nervous in the second heat, in having to contend single-handed with James Robinson, whom he always feared even in a large field of horses. Newmarket : Won the Grrand Duke Michael Stakes, and the Newmarket St. Leger. 18.29. Newmarket: Won the Oatlands and the Audley End Stakes, beating Zinganee. 1830. Newmarket : Beat Zinganee for the Whip. 1831. Newmarket : Beat Varna, after a dead-heat, in a three mile race for 50/. The cruelty of running off a dead-heat over such a distance, and for such a prize, was much reprobated. THE COLONEL, a chestnut son of Whisker, — a dau. of Delpini, — Famous Horses. 151 Tipple-Cider by King Fergus, — Sylvia by Young Marske, — Ferret by Bro. to Silvio, — a dau. of Eegulus, was foaled in 1825. "The Colonel was a small, short horse, with very fine speed, high and fighting in his action, and ready to creep into a mouse-hole, if reached ; but, then, it was always difficult to reach him." (From " The Druid.") At the stud at Hampton Court, prior to its dispersion, The Colonel presented a magnificent appearance, being the beau ideal of an English thoroughbred. Principal Performances. 1S27. Doncaster : Won the Champagne Stakes. 18.28. Epsom : Beaten in the Derby by Cadland, after a dead-heat. Doncaster: Won the St. Leger. Before 100 yards had been covered. Velocipede dashed to the front with Bessy Bedlam, but at the Eed House the latter was beaten ; and Belinda and The Colonel followed the leader closely to the distance, where Velocipede gave way. Here The Colonel took a length lead of Belinda, winning finally with great ease by three lengths; Economist was also in the field. 1830. Ascot: Second for the Cup to Lucetta, with (ireen Mantle and Zinganee behind. Goodwood : Third for the Cup to Fleur-de-Lis and Zinganee, the field also including Green Mantle and Glenartney. Ascot : Won the Great Park Stakes. 1831. Ascot: Pan a dead-heat for the Oatlands with Mouche, and broke down in running it off. The Colonel now joined the stud at Hampton Court. TURQUOISE, a brown dau. of Selim, — Pope Joan (sister to Waxy Pope, Pledge, and Prudence), by Waxy, was bred by the Duke of Grafton in 1825, and won the Oaks of 1828 — thirteen runners, including Euby (the dam of Coronation), Trampoline, and Zoe (winner of the One Thousand). 25 — 1 Turquoise. "At Tattenham Corner Ruby was many lengths ahead, and here she should have been gently pulled. The rest of the field now discovered that they must make good running or lose all chance of the race. Accordingly, J. Day, on Turquoise, came up at the road at full speed, beating all the others in detail, till he got on level terms with Ruby, when a splendid race home resulted in Turquoise winning by nearly two lengths." ZOE, a bay dau. of Orville, — Nina by Selim, — Penny Trumpet by Trumpator, was bred by Lord Lowtherin 1825. Principal Performances. 1828. Newmarket Craven: Beat Bro. to Emilius and Zinganee. Won the One Thousand Guineas — seven runners, including Trampoline. Epsom: Unplaced for the Oaks, won by Turquoise. I'alnt.ithii J. Fnihl.fi. velocipejit: (w. scott up). VELOCIPEDE, a chestnut son of Blacklock, — a dan. of Juniper (by Whiskey, — Jenny Spinner by Dragon), — a dau. of Sorcerer (by Trumpator), — Virgin by Sir Peter,- — a dau. of Pot-8-os, — Editha by Herod, — Elfrida by Old Snap, — Miss Belsea by Eegulus, was foaled in 1825. Velocipede was purchased when a yearling for 120/., after Mr. Houldsworth had said he would not give sixpence for such a slight- legged one. " This king among horses," says " The Druid," " had a rough, vulgar, Eoman head, with a white blaze and flesh-coloured nose, which he transmitted to all his stock, the great majority of whom resembled him in colour and marks. His dam (a half-sister to Camarine) was not more than fifteen hands high, while his own height was just over sixteen. One small knot, on Velocipede's off fore-leg, halfway between the knee and the fetlock, made him the magnificent cripple he was by pressing on the main tendon. Velocipede was sire of Amato (winner of the Derby), Queen of Trumps (winner of the Oaks and St. Leger), and Joe Lovell and King of Trumps (both successful stud horses). He was shot in 1859. Dropsy had set in, with chronic disease of the lungs, and his respiration became so difficult that his breathing Fam u /f.s llur.se-s . 1 5 :] could be heard all over the yard. His whole body began to till, and he became so oppressed as to be unable to lie down, but propped himself against the wall, refusing all kinds of food for three weeks before his death. He was shot on a hill overlooking the Irish Channel, by a tailor, the Squire's groom not having the heart to pull the trigger. Thus perished miserably this grand animal, the quondam pride of Whitehall." Principal Performances. 18.28. Doncaster : Third for the St. Leger to The Colonel and Belinda. 1829. York: Won the Gold Cup, defeating Laurel, after a grand race, by a neck, with Non-plus and Actaeon beaten from the start. Liverpool Jnly : Won the Cup, beating Dr. Faustus, Laurel, Pelion, and Economist. ZINGANEE, a bay son of Tramp, — Folly by Young Drone (son of Drone, — Anna by Eclipse), — Regina by Moorcock (son of Highflyer, — Georgiana by Match'em), — Rally by Trumpator, was bred by the Marquis of Exeter in 1825. Principal Performances. 1828. Won the Newmarket Stakes. Epsom : Beaten only half-a-length in the Derby by the dead-heaters Cadland and The Colonel. 1829. New- market : Won the Craven Stakes by a short head, the field including Fleur-de-Lis, Amphion, and Brocard, but was receiving more or less weight from all three, in fact, over a stone beyond weight for age from that grand mare, Fleur-de-Lis, who, moreover, was herself carrying three stone of dead-weight. At the same meeting Zinganee won the Claret Stakes, beating Rough Robin and Cadland at even weights. Ascot : Won the Oatlands and the Ascot Cup, beating, in the latter, Mameluke (winner of the Derby of 1827), Cadland, The Colonel, Green Mantle (winner of the Oaks of 1829), and Bobadilla (winner of the Ascot Cup of 1828) — a fine field. Previous to the race Zinganee was purchased from Mr. W. Chifney by Lord Chesterfield for 2500 guineas. Zinganee won by two good lengths, and proved himself to be the best horse in England. Chifney waited in the rear with him until rising the hill, when calling upon his horse he closed up and finished in that most beautiful and brilliant style so peculiarly his own. Soon after this Zinganee went amiss, and was never in the same form again. ECONOMIST, a bay son of Whisker, — Floranthe by Octavian, — Caprice by Anvil, — Madcap by Eclipse, — a dau. of Blank, — a dau. of Blaze, was foaled in 1825. Economist did not distinguish himself particularly on the turf ; but he was the sire of the famous horse Harkaway. Painted by O. H. Laportc SIR HERCULES. SIR HERCULES, a black horse shot with white hairs, was a son of Whalebone, — Peri by Wanderer (son of (xohanna, — Catherine by Wood- pecker),— Thalestris by Alexander, — Eival by Sir Peter, — Hornet by Drone, — Manilla by Goldfinder, and was foaled in 18.20. Sir Hercules ran third to Eowton and Voltaire for the St. Leger of 18.29; and won the Claret Stakes at the Newmarket Craven Meeting of 1830. At the stud he established a lasting reputation as the sire of Irish Birdcatcher and those distinguished mares Maria, Waterwitch, and Cruiskeen (all bred m Ireland). In England he begat The Hydra, The Corsair, Coronation, Hyllus, Eobert de Gorham, Gemma-di-Vergy, Newcourt, Vibration, Venus, The Moor, Knight of the Shire, Gunboat, and Lifeboat, the latter foaled when Sir Hercules was twenty-nine years old, and Sir J. Shelley's ch. c. Sir Hercules, foaled when his sire was thirty-two years old, together with a legion of other winners too numerous to mention. In 1894 Sir Hercules was represented by 352 winning descendants, who appropriated between them 038 races, value FawoKS Horsefi. 155 177,070/. 5.y., Camel, the rejDresentative of the other branch of Eclipse, having 306 winners. FREDERICK, a bay son of Little John (by Octavius, — Grey Skim by Woodpecker), — a clau. of Phantom, — Sister to Election by Gohanna, was bred by the Earl of Egremont in 1820. Principal Performances. 1829. Epsom: Won the Derby, the field including The Exquisite (second), Prince Euo-ene, Patron (winner of the Riddles worth, the Dinner Stakes, the Two Thousand (luineas, the Newmarket Stakes, and other races), Mohican, and Lazarus. " This Derby (run on the 4th June) was one of great interest, and attracted a larger concourse of people to Epsom Downs than had ever been there before. The names of the winner and the second were scarcely mentioned in the betting. Patron being the favourite. By the time they reached the new stand, Patron's chance was quite hopeless, and Lazarus was going as well as anything. Hitting his leg, however, he faltered and lost his place, which was immediately taken by Mr. Forth on Frederick, young Buckle on The Exquisite shortly after taking the lead. About thirty yards from home, Mr. Forth, with a grand rush, collared The Exquisite, winning a fine race by a head. It was said that Forth, on the night before the Derby, had shifted his money from The Exquisite to Frederick." Doncaster : Not placed for the St. Leger won by Rowton. At the stud Frederick never got anything of note, and his name is now quite forgotten. ROWTON, a chestnut son of Oiseau (by Camillus, a son of Hamble- tonian, — Faith by Pacolet), — Katherina by Woful, — Iris by Brush, was foaled in 1820. Principal Performances. 1829. Doncaster -. Won the St. Leger. At the distance Chifney brought up Voltaire, and, passing Bolivar, Felt, Clotilde, and Sir Hercules, resolutely challenged Scott on Rowton ; but, although Voltaire responded most gamely, Rowton won, without ever being headed, by half-a-length. 1832. Ascot : Won the Oatlands, Lucetta and The Saddler being also in the field. Ran a dead- heat for the Ascot Cup with Camarine, with The Saddler third and last. In the decider, Camarine won by two lengths. This was Rowton's last race. VOLTAIRE, a brown son of Blacklock, — a dau. of Phantom, — a dau. of Overton,— a dau. of Walnut, — a dau. of Ruler, — Piracantha by Match'em,^Sister to Prophet by Regulus, was foaled in 1826. Principal Performances. 1829. Doncaster: Beaten half-a-length by Rowton for the St. Leger. Won the Doncaster Cup, beating Laurel and Fleur-de- Lis. This was his last race. Voltaire's two famous !ion.ii, Voltigeur and Charles XII., will ever keep his memory green. « Mm' ^g— ' — ^ J'ainted Ini J. F. Ihrring.

Lucetta's conformation was peculiar, she being very deep forward, with light head and neck, high loins, and drooping quarters. She was always ridden in a single snaffle, without a martingale ; but invariably commenced kicking the moment Eobinson put his foot in the stirrup, and right royal kicks they were. When once her rider was fairly in the saddle, she became as quiet as a lamb. Eobinson declared she was the best stayer he ever crossed with the exception of Camarine. Principal Performances. 1829. Newmarket: Won the Garden Stakes. 1830. Ascot: Won the Cup, beating The Colonel, Green Mantle, and Zinganee. 1831. Newmarket : Won the Audley End Stakes, beating The Cardinal, Sarpedon, Eough Eobin, The Saddler, and Spaniel. 1832. Newmarket : Won the Jockey Club Plate, B.C.

Principal Performances. 18.29. Newmarket : Won the Riddlesworth Stakes — five runners, including- Lucetta. Won the Two Thousand Guineas, beating Ivean, his only opponent. Won the Newmarket Stakes — six runners. Epsom : Unplaced for the Derby won by Frederick, G — 5 Patron, 40 — 1 Frederick. Patron was a good horse, his only defeat being that for the Derljy. GREEN MANTLE, a bay dau. of Sultan, — Dulcinea by Cervantes, — Eegina by Moorcock, was bred by Lord Exeter in 1820. Principal Performances. 1828. Newmarket : Won the July Stakes, the Clearwell Stakes, and the Prendergast Stakes, her only three races this year. 1829. Newmarket: Second for the One Thousand Guineas.

CAVENDISH'S bay fiUy by Godolphin (son of Partisan), — Mouse by Sir David, — ^Louisa by Ormond (son of King Fergus, — Miss Cornforth by Match'em), — Orville's dam, was foaled in 182G, and won the One Thousand Guineas of 1829, Green Mantle second ; but was unplaced for the Oaks. SAIYI CHIFNEY, the celebrated jocke^^ began his career on the turf early in the present century. Among his numerous patrons were Lord George Cavendish, the Duke of Rutland, and Mr. Thornhill. It was on Chifney's model, more than on that of Frank Buckle, that James Robinson fashioned his own riding, for, great as was his admiration for Frank, he always maintained that he "hadn't i\\e fddling skill of Sam, whose fingers on the reins, when his horse had a delicate mouth, went as lightly as the feet of a dancer on the tight rope." Sam Chifney seldom spoke, either at the post or in the race. He stood about five feet seven inches in height, and was about half-a-head taller than Robinson ; but the latter measured more than Sam round the chest by six inches. Sam possessed all the strength and courage of his father. He rode occasionally for His Majesty, George the Fourth. Painted hy L. Marshall. ALBERT (p. CONOLLT UP) . ALBERT, an undefeated bay son of "Waterloo, or Moses, — Varennes by Selim, was bred by the Earl of Yerulam in 1827. This very fine and truly promising colt was never beaten, winning upon five occasions, including the Audley End Stakes at Newmarket in 1830, in which race he beat Oppidan and Cadland. He died on the 31st March, 1831, from the bursting of a bloodvessel. The above engraving by Cook, from a painting by Lambert Marshall, was considered to be a perfect likeness of this splendid animal. Conolly, who rode him in all his races, is reported to have said, " I can never think of him without a sigh." PRIAM, a bay son of Emilius, — Cressida (sister to Eleanor), by Whiskey, was foaled in 1827. "The Druid " remarks that Priam was " a mare-looking horse, especially about the head, and so delicate a feeder that his owner, Wm. Chifney, could tell to a handful the quantity of oats he would eat in a week. His head and neck were light, and his coat feathered, from his ears to his withers, in a most eccentric fashion. He drooped rather on his hind pasterns, and stood on a straight hind leg. Faii/of/s Horses. 159 Lord Jersey declined to buy liiin as a yearling, thinking he would put out ringbones." Principal Performances. 1830. Newmarket: Won the Eiddlesworth Stakes and the Column Stakes, beating Augustus (winner of the Two Thousand). Epsom : AVon the Derby. A drenching shower and thirteen false starts were the prelude to this race. Sam Day (the rider of Priam) was told not to Imrry himself until he had passed the distance. At this point Little Ped Rover (a small but finely-shaped chestnut colt by Tramp, barely fifteen hands high) was leading ; but Priam, shooting out at the half-distance, went in an easy winner by two lengths. The field also- included Mahmoud and Augustus. Doncaster : Second to Birmingham for the St. Leger. 1S31. Newmarket: Won the Craven Stakes and the Port Stakes. Beat Lucetta in a match, Priam giving away a year. Beat Augustus in a match, giving him lOlb. Ascot : Won the Eclipse Foot. Goodwood : Won the Cup, beating Beiram by a short head, with St. Giles also in the field. BlRIYliNGHAM, a powerful brown son of Filho-da-Puta,— Miss Craigie by Orville, — Marchioness by Lurcher (son of Dungannon, — a dau. of Vertumnus or Eclipse, — a dau. of the Compton Barb, — a Sister to Regulator by Careless, — a dau. of the Cullen Arabian), — Miss Cogden by Phenomenon, — a dau. of Young Marske,- — a dau. of Silvio, — Daphne by Regulus, was foaled in 1827, and won the Doncaster St. Leger of 1830 — twenty-eight runners, including Priam, The Cardinal, Maria, and Emancipation. On the day of the race it rained heavily ; and Birmingham, starting at 40 — 1, gained an easy victory through sheer strength. Birmingham was so attached to his owner — Mrs. Beards worth — that he would follow her round the dining-room table, and, in fact, became quite domesticated. VARIATION, a bay dau. of Bustard (by Castrel,— Miss Hap by Shuttle, — Sister to Haphazard), — Johannah Southcote by Beningborough, — Lavinia by Pipator, — Dick Andrews' dam by Highflyer, was foaled in 18.27, and upon her first appearance in public won the Oaks of 1830 — seventeen runners, including Mouche (second), Maria, Recovery, Charlotte West (winner of the One Thousand), and Lady Bird. AUGUSTUS, a chestnut son of Sultan, — Augusta by Woful, was bred by Lord Exeter in 1827 ; and won the Two Thousand Guineas of 1830 — two runners only ; and the Newmarket St. Leger. CHARLOTTE WEST, a chestnut dau. of Tramp, was foaled in 1827, and won the One Thousand Guineas of 1830 — seven runners ; but was unplaced for the Oaks, for which she started favourite. Charlotte West also won the Royal Stakes at Ascot. J'ainted by J, F, Herring. SPANIEL, a bay son of Whalebone, — a dan. of Canopiis, — a dau. of Young Woodpecker, — Everlasting by Eclipse, was foaled in 1828. Spaniel was a small horse, standing barely fifteen hands high ; but he was very stoutly bred ; and, at his own pace, could stay for ever. Though small he had plenty of length, with shoulders remarkably high, and tail set low. The portrait of him, by Herring, was considered an excellent one. It was said of Spaniel that he " possessed a hide of silk " (so superlatively fine was his coat) " and a heart of oak." Principal Performances. 1880. Spaniel was defeated on four occasions as a two- year-old, without scoring one solitary win. 1831. Epsom, May 17th : Won the Shirley Stakes. Although Spaniel won this race in the easiest possible manner, starting at 4 — 1 on, he went down no less than twenty points in the quotations for the approaching Derby. May 19th: Won the Derby — twenty-three runners, including Riddlesworth (winner this year of the Riddlesworth Stakes, the Dinner Stakes, and the Two Thousand (luineas), and Colwick. Betting: 6 — 4 on Riddlesworth, 50 — 1 against Spaniel. " Riddlesworth looked very blood-like, but rather light Fdiiioii.s llur-ses. 1 (5 1 for his size, and somewhat leggy ; and, no douht, the iron state of the ground was much against him. A'estris was full of life and mettle; and Bras-de-Fer was in the pink of condition ; while the bright, light, airy little Spaniel, with his silky coat and pert expression, trod the turf as though he disdained the earth. At no part of the contest was the j^ace severe, OAving to the hardness of the ground ; and it was not until about thirty yards from home that Spaniel shot out, and won in the easiest possible fashion. Wildrake, in "Cracks of the Day," observes that "the stout little Whalebone weed was so ripe on the day that he held on his best and only pace from first to last ; and, though he could not work an atom faster, yet, as his rider, Wheatley, said, he could have gone that one pace the whole w^ay to London." Spaniel never did anything of consequence after this. OXYGEN, a bay dau. of Emilius, — Whizgig by Rubens, — the famous Penelope by Trumpator, was bred by the Duke of Cxrafton in 18.28. Principal Performances. 1830. Won the Clearwell Stakes. 1831. Newmarket : ISJot placed for the One Thousand Guineas to Gralantine. Epsom : Won the Oaks — twenty-one runners, including Marmora (second), (jruitar, Circassian, and Delight. " It was a very fine race, and a truly run one, though it was apparent that Circassian, from some cause or other, ran in difficulties from the distance post, as just previously she had looked all over a winner." 183.2. Newmarket : Won the Oatlands and the King's Plate, beating Lucetta. Newmarket Second Spring, B.C. : Beaten by Lucetta for the Jockey Club Plate, the old mare proving the better stayer. CHORISTER, a bay son of Lottery, — a dau. of Chorus (by Trumpator, — Seafowl by Woodpecker), — a dau. of Orville, — Anticipation by Beningborough, was foaled in 1828, and won the Doncaster St. Leger of 1831 — twenty-four runners, including- The Saddler, Creole, Colwick, Circassian, and Liverpool. Nearing the T.Y.C. starting post, John Day began to creep up with Chorister ; and Nicholson, at the same time, bringing up The Saddler, they contested the lead with Chancellor round the Red House corner to the end of the rails. A few strides further Liverpool made an unavailing effort, and had to give place to The Saddler, who appeared to have the race at his mercy. Day now brought up Chorister with a rush on the outside ; and, after a magnificent race, he defeated The Saddler, in the last few strides, by half-a-length, the latter showing the " white feather" to some extent when pressed. Chorister was the first of Lottery's stock to run. He was on rather a small scale, but showed great quality ; and was, in shape, very like his sire. M I'aiiitcd by J. F. Henincj. THE SADDLER. THE SADDLER, a brown son of Waverley (by Whalebone,— Marga- retta by Sir Peter, — Sister to Cracker by Highflyer), — Castrellina by Castrel (brother to Selim and Eubens), — a dau. of Waxy, — Bizarre by Peruvian (son of Sir Peter), was foaled in 1828. Principal Perform- ances. 1831. Won the York St. Leger. Next day: Beat Chorister at even weights. York August : Beat Bro. to Tarrare, Lady Elizabeth, and Yictoire. Lady Elizabeth, a very fine racing-like filly, was a strong favourite. On reaching the distance, Yictoire joined the front rank, but soon dropped behind, being evidently amiss, and a very severe finish from the half distance between The Saddler and Bro. to Tarrare ended in the victory of the former by half-a-length. Doncaster : Second to Chorister for the St. Leger. Won the Doncaster Cup, beating Emancipation, Eowton, and Birmingham. Next day : Beat Colwick, Bro. to Tarrare, Frederica, and Creole. 1833. Newmarket Craven: Beat Glaucus in a match. The Saddler earned a very fair reputation at the stud. LIVERPOOL, a bay son of Tramp,— a dau. of Whisker,— the famous Mandane by Pot-8-os, w^as foaled in 18.28. Principal Performances. 1831. York: Beat Creole. At the distance Creole (own brother to Faii/o/'.s Jlorxcs. 103 Mulatto) challenged Liverpool ; and one oi the longest and severest struggles ever witnessed then ensued, Scott and Edv^-^ards using every exertion to obtain the niasteiy, and each alternately having the advan- tage. Within two or three strides of the winning post Creole was half-a- head in front ; but, in this all imj)ortant moment, Edwards' strength seemed to fail him ; and Liverpool, in the very last stretch, was declared the winner by a short head. The two miles were run in three minutes and thirty -nine seconds ; and both horses were terribly punished. Creole, though not so good, perhaps, as his brother Mulatto, was a very fine horse, but leggy, and with the sniallest' feet ever seen, excepting only those of his conqueror, Liverpool. Doncaster : Not placed for the St. Leger won by Chorister. At the same meeting won the Gascoigne Stakes, after a dead-heat with Chorister, who was giving 41b. The two came on from the Eed House at rattling speed and locked together to the stand, each jockey striving his utmost to shake off the other, but neither could succeed in doing so, and the judge could not divide them. In the deciding heat, Scott (on Liverpool) came away as soon as the flag fell, making very strong running, with Chorister close at his heels. At the distance they joined issue, and ran a grand race home, Liverpool winning by nearly a length, and proving himself to be one of the gamest horses that ever ran. CRUTCH, a chestnut son of Little John (by Octavius),— Zaire by Selim, — Zephyretta by Hedley, — a dau. of Diomed, — a dau. of Imperator, — Otheothea by Otho, was foaled in 1828. Captain (afterwards Admiral) Rous, on his return home from sea service in 18.29, purchased Crutch for sixty guineas ; and he matched the colt with such admirable judgment as to win eleven sinsfle-handed contests wdth him, and to run a dead-heat for the twelfth. Crutch, like Teddington, was a short horse and very high on the leg ; and animals of this conformation are usually speedy. Robinson observed of Crutch that he " never rode a horse so quick on his legs, or one that was faster over the two-year-old course." M 'Z I'liinti'd III/ J. /'. I/crriiKj. CAMARINE. CAIYIARINE, a chestnut dan. of Juniper (by Whiskey),— a dau. of Rubens, — Tippitywitchett by AVaxy, — Hare by Sweetbriar, — a dau. of Justice, — a dau. of Chymist (by Match'em, — Duchess by Whitenose), — a dau. of South, — Sister to Babrahara, was bred by Lord Berners in 18.28. " The pul^lic liad a notion that Camarine was far beyond Lucetta in point of speed, but had no chance with her over a Queen's Plate course, and that she required to run with her near leg first. If she started on the off one, said they, she swung it round so much that unless she had been steadied and made to change she would soon have been in distress. Robinson, however, declared that Camarine was the very best mare he ever rode, and that Lucetta had no chance with her at any distance, and further that he knew nothing whatever of any leg peculiarity." Principal Performances. 1831. Newmarket: Beat Spaniel (winner of the Derby). Won the Newmarket St. Leger, beating Oxygen (winner of the Oaks). 1832. Newmarket: Won the Claret Stakes, beating Circassian by ten lengths. Ascot: Won the Cup, beating Rowton, after a dead-heat (having thus been victorious over the winners of the Derby, Oaks, and T(t 1110 Hx Jlo ) -.se.s . 1 ( ) 5 !St. Leger, respectively), The Saddler Ijeiiig tliird and last.

The Saddler Avas beaten ; and, between the other two, one of the closest and severest struggles ever witnessed ended in a dead-heat. It was a general remark that Chifney's riding and Eowton's superb action, in both heats, were equally fine. Newmarket: Won the Audley End Stakes. 1833. Newmarket: Won the Craven Stakes and the Jockey Club Plate — B.C.— beating Tauinis (one of the fastest horses of his day over any distance) by eight lengths. The race, however, was a costly one, as neither of them ever ran again. RIDDLES WORTH, a chestnut son of Emilius,— Filagree (dam of Cobweb) by Soothsayer, was bred by Lord Jersey in 18.28. Principal Performances. 1831. Newmarket: Won the Kiddlesworth Stakes and the Dinner Stakes. Won the Two Thousand Gruineas, Sarpedon second. Won the Newmarket Stakes. Epsom : Second to Spaniel for the Derby. GALANTINE, a bay dau. of Eeveller, — Snowdrop by Highland Fling, — Daisy by Buzzard, — Tulip by Damper, was bred by Sir Matthew Wood in 1828; and won the One Thousand Guineas of 1831 — eight runners, including Lioness (second) and Oxygen (who afterwards won the Oaks). COLWICK, a son of Filho-da-Puta,— Stella by Sir Oliver,— Scotilla by Anvil, was foaled in 18:28. Colwick was a brown bay with black legs, mane, and tail, of great length, and beautiful temper. Principal Per- formances. 1830. Doncaster : Second to Circassian — with The Saddler and Yictoire also in the field. 1832. Chester: Won the Cup. 1834. Newmarket : Won the Craven Stakes. Goodwood : Second to Glencoe for the Gold Cup, the field also including Famine, The Saddler, Rocking- ham, St. Giles, Nonsense, and Marpessa. CIRCASSIAN, a chestnut dau. of Sultan, — Variety by Selim or Sooth- sayer,— Sprite by Bobtail, — Catherine by Woodpecker, was foaled in 1828. 1830. Doncaster: Beat Colwick, Bras-de-Fer, The Saddler, and Yictoire. 1831. Heaton Park (where there used to be good racing) : Won the Stanley Stakes. 1833. Derby : Won the Gold Cup. Doncaster : W^on the Doncaster Stakes. I'ainttd III/ Alini/uiin Cv<>in GALATA, ;i brown dan. of Sultan, — Advance by Pioneer (a son of Whiskey and Prunella), — a dan. of Buzzard, — Sister to Champion by Pot-8-os, was bred by the Marquis of Exeter in 18.29. " Galata," says " The Druid," "was the best of the Burleigh mares. In the Ascot Cup of 1883, William Arnull received the daring orders to rip up Lucetta, and he acted up to them most effectually, (ialata's timidity was so excessive that Marson was obliged to train her quite alone, otherwise she Avould not have touched an oat. She was leggy, light- fleshed, and had large feet. If held she would utterly beat herself, as was proved in a trial with Beiram. YLiiX forte was speed ; and, like her dam. Advance, she could run half her horses to a standstill in the first hundred yards ; but she had no good lasting qualities ; and, when once collared, she shut up. In the Port Stakes Sam Darling had the cue to let her go, and finish her held in the first mile. Lord Chesterfield, Mr. George Payne, Colonel Udny, and Marson were at the Ditch Cfap ; and Darling had so literally obeyed his orders ' to catch her by the head and come along,' that there was soon a spread eagle of Emiliana, Fmuous Horses. 167 Archibald, and Co. 'Hold her fast, Darling,' — roared Lord Jersey — 'All right, my Lord,' was the reply, 'If I was going to Bury, I should win!'" Principal Performances. 183.2. Won the One Thousand Gruineas in a canter. Won the Oaks also, very easily. A writer in the Sport i/if/ Mof/nzine observes, with reference to this race, "I never saw such a thorough^ vanquished lot in my life. The winner is as racing- like an animal as ever imprinted foot on Epsom Downs, and her action is an example for all time." 1833. Won the Port Stakes, beating Emiliana and Archibald (winner of the Two Thousand Guineas of 183.2). Won the Ascot Gold Cup, beating Lucetta. Galata made the running at a terrific pace, running Lucetta entirely out of it ; and finally winning by ten lengths. ST. GILES, a chestnut son of Tramp, — Arcott Lass by Ardrossan, — a dau. of Cramlington (l)y Pipator, — Harriet by Volunteer), — Floyerkin by Stride (son of Phenomenon, — a dau. of Goldfinder, — Lovely by Babraham, — Eegulator's dam), — a daughter of Javelin, — a dau. of Highflyer, — a dau. of Match'em, — a dau. of Dainty Davie, was foaled in 1829. After comparatively indifferent antecedents, St. Giles won the Derby of 1832 easily, the course being in splendid order. A quarter of a mile from home, Scott brought up St. Giles, who was in the pink of condition ; and, heading Trustee, came away fully a length in front, followed by Perion (Prank Boyce), who made a most resolute bid for victory. St. Giles, however, was well in hand, and won without difficulty by a couple of lengths. Margrave, Beiram, and Emiliana were also in the held. It was the common talk of the day that, with the sole exception of Perion, every horse that started ran in the interest of Messrs. E. Eidsdale and John Gully, the joint owners of St. Giles. St. Giles was beaten for the Goodwood Cups of 1833, 1834, and 1835 ; and won two minor races in 1834. MARGRAVE, a very dark chestnut son of Muley, — a dau. of Election, — Fair Helen l3y Hambletonian, — Helen by Delpini, — Eosalind by Phenomenon, — Atalanta by Match'em, was foaled in 1829. Margrave, although not a handsome horse, and having a large plain head, was lengthy, and had fine sweeping action. Principal Performances. 1831. Stockbridge: Beat Eleanor. Won the Criterion, beating Archibald. 1832. Not placed for the Derby, won by St. Giles. Doncaster : Won the St. Leger, the field including Birdcatcher, Trustee, and Physician. Won the Gascoi^ne Stakes. Newmarket: Won the Grand Duke Michael stakes, beating Galata and Salute. Beaten a head by Archibald for the Newmarket St. Leger, with Beiram and Non-Compos also in the field. i'aintHl I'll J. F. Herring. BE I RAM, a very speedy cliestnut son of Sultan, — Miss Cantley by Btaniford, — Sister to Silver by Mercury, was bred by the Marquis of Exeter in 1S.29. " Beirani," says " The Druid," " was a A^ery nervous and irritable horse, and lathered so much when he came to the post for the July Stakes, that Bill Arnull said he would never require sweating again. In the race, however, he seemed to acquire confidence, and pulled up as dry as a bone. Had Lord Exeter, after (lalata's Oaks, transferred his allegiance from Sultan to Beiram, and not used two crosses of the blood, there seems to be a strong probability that he would have held his own much longer than he did." (Erom " Silk and Scarlet.") Principal Performances. 1831. Won the July and Prendergast Stakes. 1832. Newmarket : Beat Non-Compos and Count Robinson. Jumping off at a terrific pace, Beiram cut his opponents down from the start, John Day (on Non-Compos), having no time given him to recover his lost ground, was quite unable to get up ; and, the further they went, the further he was left behind. Sir Mark Wood most certainly missed the mark when he put Jem Robinson, the jockey, on Count Robinson, the horse. Second Fa 11/ 0 NX ] lor. sex. 1 (iU to Mixbury for the Newmarket Stakes. Beirani tried liis cutting clown tactics again; but Eobinson, following with Mixbury, came with his well- known rush and won close on the post by a neck. Epsom : Not placed in the JJerby won by St. (riles. Beiram seemed in anything but good condition. Goodwood : Won the Drawing-Room Stakes easily. Second for the Groodwood Cup to Priam. ARCHIBALD, a bay son of Paulowitz (son of Sir Paul by Sir Peter,— Pewet b\- Tandem), — Garcia by Octavian, — a dau. of Shuttle, — Katherine by Delpini, — a dau. of Paymaster, — a dau. of Le Sang, — the dam of Rib, — Mother Western, was bred by Colonel Jonathan Peel in 1829. " Archibald was a universal favourite with the public, being gracefully elegant ; and, though on a small scale, remarkably muscular and strong in those points where power and strength are most rec|uired, being more- over most delicately formed for the purposes of speed, most captivating to the eye; and possessing, withal, an animated and courageous spirit, with great sweetness of temper, and the gentleness of a lamb." Principal Performances. 1831. Ascot: Beat Beiram and others. "Excepting Beiram, there was not one amongst this field of horses that could compare in appearance with Archibald, who marched in the midst of them more like a well -furnished four-year-old than a stripling of his tender ao:e." 1S32. Won the Two Thousand Guineas. Won the Newmarket St. Leger, beating Margrave (winner of the Doncaster St. Leger), Beiram, and Non-Compos. PHYSICIAN, a bay son of Brutandorf,— Primette by Prime Minister,— Miss Paul by Sir Paul, — Miss Dunnington by Shuttle, — Miss Grimstone by Weasel, was foaled in 1829. Principal Performances. 1832. Second to Birdcatcher for the Liverpool St. Leger. Doncaster : Won the Scarborough Stakes, beating Birdcatcher. Heaton Park : Won the Stanley Stakes, beating Circassian. Northallerton : Won the Gold Cup, the field including Liverpool and Nitocris. 1833. Manchester: Won the Gold Cup. Liverpool : Won the Croxteth Stakes, the field including Birmingham and Birdcatcher. York August : Won the Queen's Plate, beating Tom -boy. Also won a Silver Tureen, beating Nitocris and Emancipation. 1834. Second for the Liverpool Summer Cup. Won the Stand Cup. York August : AVon the Queen's Plate. Painted by J. F. Herring. DANGEROUS (j. CHAPPLE UP). DANGEROUS, a rich cliestnut son of Tramp, — Defiance by Rubens, was foaled in 1830. He was a large and powerful animal, with good bone and muscle, and rare quarters. His action was low and sweeping ; and it was a jntj that he did not train on. Dangerous did not distinguish himself as a two-year-old, probablj' on account of his being a horse that required time; but he won the Derby of 1833. Wright (on Forester) made the runnmg, closely followed by Catalonian (Sam Mann), both jockeys having received orders to take the lead, and, if possible, to keep it ; so that these two, at topmost speed, ran a kind of match as far as Tattenham Corner, where Forester compounded ; and, very soon after, Glaucus, Llewellyn, Little Casino, Cactus, Egyptus, and (xlenmore were dead beaten. Catalonian came first round the turn, with Connoisseur, Revenge, Dangerous, The AVhale, and Sir Robert, in the order named, well up in his wake. Al^out a quarter of a mile from home, Sir Robert and The Whale succumbed ; and Connoisseur, having raced with Cata- lonian for some fifty yards, shot past him ; but was himself instantly Famous Horses. 171 collared by Dangerous, who appeared as full of running as when he started ; and, Chappie giving him his head opposite the Stand, he passed the post the easiest of winners by a good length. Betting: 3 — 1 Grlaucus, 'I'd — 1 Dangerous, 100 — 1 Connoisseur. Without doubt the best horse won. Shortly after this Dangerous went amiss ; but the secret was so well kept that he was allowed to walk over for a race at Stockbridge and for one at Winchester. He could never be got fit to run again ; and, in 1S35, he was purchased by the French (Government and sent across the Channel. GLAUCUS, a bay son of Partisan, — Nanine by Selim, — Bizarre by Peruvian, was bred by General Grrosvenor in 1830. Principal Perform- ances. IS 3. 2. Stockbridge: Beat Dangerous. Newmarket: Won the Prendergast, ran second for the Criterion, and beat the winner of the Clearwell in a match. 1833. Not placed for the Derby or for the St. Leger. 1834. Newmarket: Won the Claret Stakes. Ascot: Won the (jrold Cup, beating Eockingham and Gralata. This race created the most extraordinary interest ; vast sums were staked upon it, and the sj)eculation never waned until the horses were off. At the Swinley Post, (lalata, owhig to the severity of the pace, died completely away ; and, when they reached the trees. Chappie brought Pockingham nearer the front, the pace still being very severe ; but Scott, holding Grlaucus fast by the head, won with great ease. On the same day, — in fact with only one race intervening, — (llaucus won " The Eclipse Foot " (the hoof forming a magnificent snuff box, richly mounted in gold, and resting on a highly ornamental plateau of the same precious metal). James Eobinson, decked out in a brand new green and white silk jacket, was soon in the saddle, and (xalopade gave one good kick-royal to let his supporters know he was all right and ready for the fray. As the two came up the course, Eobin- son was leading at a gentle hand-canter, three or four lengths from Scott ; and, in this way, they reached the Swinley Post, without any alteration either in pace or position. Down the hill Scott made some advance ; but there was nothing like racing about it. At the trees they came together, at little better than a trot ; but, at the turn of the half-mile, away they came at topmost speed, Gralopade never having the ghost of a chance, Eobinson using neither whip nor spur, from the conviction that it was hopeless. Scott never stirred on Grlaucus, who won in marvellous form, looking at the field he had beaten, over the same distance of ground, only an hour before. 1835. Won the Groodwood Cuj). 2'aiittcd by J. F. JAriing. ROCKINGHAM. ROCKINGHAIVI, a big bay "pheasant-looking" son of Hnmphrey Clinker, — Medora by Swordsman (son of Prizefigliter (by Florizel, — Promise by Snap), — Zara by Eclipse, — a dan. of Squirrel, — Ancaster Nancy by Blank,— Phoebe by Tortoise), — a daii. of Triimpator, — Pe23per- mint (sister to Phmella) by Highflyer, was foaled in 1830. Principal Performances. 1S33. Doncaster : Won the St. Leger very easily by two lengths, the field including Mussulman, Belshazzar, Muley Moloch, and Grlaucus. Long before they reached the Eed House, Sam Darling (on Rockingham) felt that he had the race in hand. Also won the Doncaster Cup with great ease, beating Pevenge, Consol, and The Saddler. The public were now convinced that Rockingham was something out of the common. 1834. Ascot : Second for the Cup to Glaucus, with Belshazzar and Galata also in the field. This race excited great interest. 1835. Cloodw'Ood : Won the Cup. Down the hill, facing for home, Beiram, who had been fighting all the way, broke down. At the distance Wm. Scott brought Grlaucus forward, and made his effort; but his challenge was F(ut/oi/s Horses. 173 easily stalled oft' by Eockiiigham, who won in a common canter by four lengths. Beaten for the King's Purse by Lucifer (winner of several cups). This was a most extraordinary race. At the distance Rocking- ham was fully a dozen lengths in front ; and, so hollow appeared to be Lucifer's defeat, that Forth, his trainer, called out to Twitchet to stop him. Eobinson, hearing this, began to ease Rockingham; and, so much so, that sixty yards from home he was completely out of his stride, while Twitchet, who had kept Lucifer going, and found his horse had still an eftort left in him, with a tremendous rush caught Rockingham a few yards from the post and won by a full length, amidst roars of laughter. Robinson acknowledged that he was unconscious of his danger until he saw Lucifer's shadow, wdien it was too late. Brighton : Won the Cup. VESPA, a dark brown dau. of Mule}', — Miss Wasp by Waxy, was foaled in 1830. Principal Performances. 1833. Epsom: Won the Oaks by half -a -neck from Octave, after a fine race — the field including Revelry, The Margravine, Tarantella, and Catherina (the latter during her career started on no less than 175 occasions, making her first appearance in the Oaks). 1834. [N^ewmarket : Won the Oatlands, beating Trustee, Gralata, and ]\Ialil)ran. Vespa was ultimately sent to Hungary. CLEARWELL, a grey son of Jerry, — Lisette by Hambletonian, was bred by the Earl of Orford in 1830. Principal Performances. 183.2. Upon his first appearance in public. Lord Orforcl's colt won the Clearwell Stakes at Newmarket — sixteen runners, including Nonsense, Cactus, Tarantella, Octave, Marpessa, Tigress, Malibran, and Emperor ; and was thereuj^on named Clearwell. Newmarket Houghton : Beaten a length by Glaucus at even weights in a match for 500 guineas over the Ancaster Mile. 1833. Newmarket: Won the Two Thousand Gruineas, the field including Sir Robert (second), Mussulman, and Nonsense. Second to Forester for the Newmarket Stakes. 1834. Ascot: Won the Wokingham Stakes, carrying the top-weight, 9st. 41b. This was ClearweU's last race. TARANTELLA, a chestnut dau. of Tramp, — Katherineby Soothsayer, — Quadrille by Selim, — Canary-bird by AVhiskey, was foaled in 1830. Tarantella won the One Thousand Guineas of 1833 — nine runners, including Falernia (second), Yespa (third), and Octave; but was unplaced for the Oaks. J'ainted by AOnihain Cooper, Ji.A. PLENIPOTENTIARY. PLENIPOTENTIARY, a ricli chestnut son of Emilius,— Harriet by Pericles, — a dau. of Selini, — Pipylina (sister to Pipylin) by Sir Peter, — Ptally by Trumpator, was bred by Mr. S. Batson in 1831. Plenipoten- tiary stood just fifteen hands two and a half inches high, and was a horse of such ponderous muscle, and carried so much flesh, that he always looked like a fat bullock when in training ; but no horse was ever so much admired for his beauty and racing points. Principal Perform- ances. 1834. Newmarket Craven, P.M. : Beat (Hencoe (who two days before had won the Eiddlesworth in a canter). Eobinson, whose orders were to try and cut down Plenipo by the severity of the pace, remarked after the race : " I came the first half mile as hard as I could lick ; ]jut, on looking round, I saw the great fat bullock cantering by my side, C'onolly at the same time exclaiming, ' I'm here, Master Jemmy, only waiting till I'm wanted.' " Cllencoe, believed till then to be the fastest horse of his day, was beaten four lengths. Epsom : Won the Derby. At the distance Plenipotentiary collared (Hencoe, and very :;oon had him Ijeaten. Conolly then looked round for Shillelah, and, seeing that Chifney was bringing him up, he gave Plenipo his head ; and, without FaiitoKS Horses. 175 the shadow of a strui^'gle, wc)ii by two lengths, (Ik'neoe l)eaten half a length from the .second, Doneaster : Not placed for the 8t. Leger, won by Touchstone. Plenipo was dead beaten early in the race ; and, the further he went, the further he was left behind. Foul play had mo;^t effectually done it;- work ; and he was not only made safe for the day, but hi:; constitution wa;; utterly ruined. Plenipo Avas a very difficult horse to saddle, and still more so to mount, rearing, plunging, and kicking, and using every effort to prevent ConoUy getting into the saddle ; but, on the St. Leger day, he made not the slightest show of resistance. Indeed, Conolly, after an attempt at a preliminary canter, observed to John Scott, "my horse is as dead as a stone." 1835. Newmarket : Won the Craven Stakes, the field including Nonsense, Cxlaucus, and Shillelah. PUSSY, a very dark brown dau. of Pollio (by Orville, — Blue Stockings by Popinjay (son of Buzzard, — a dau. of Bondrow (by Eclipse, — a dau. of Sweeper (by Sloe), — Escape's dam by Squirrel), Yalve by Bob Booty (son of Chanticleer (by Woodpecker),— lerne by Bagot), — Wire (sister to Whalebone), by Waxy, was foaled in 1831. Principal Performances. 1834. Epsom : Won the Oaks. It was not until they had passed Tattenham Corner that the pace was increased by Louisa forcing it into something like racing. May Day lay on the higher ground, Frank Boyce sitting quite still upon her, and having more the appearance of winning than anything in the race. Here Cotillon made an effort, but Scott saw" it was a vain attempt, and in a few strides she was among the hindmost. In this order they croivsed the gravel foad, and w^ere approaching the distance, when May Day was seen to pitch for- wards, falling wdth a fearful crash, and throwing Boyce over her head, but he was on his legs in an instant. Old John now brought Pussy to the fore, who up to that point had never appeared to be in the race ; and, so full of running was she, that it was quite evident the race was at her disposal, and she finally won by a length and a half. Ascot : Won the Ascot Derby. MAY DAY, a chestnut dau. of Lamplighter (b}' ]\Ierlin, — Spotless by Walton, — a dau. of Trumpator, — a dau. of Highflyer, — Otheothea), — a dau. of Eubens, — Tippitywitchett by Waxy, was bred by Lord Berners in 1831. This Eubens Mare (the dam of May Day) was dam also of Eecovery, Camarine, Juniper, and Phosphorus. May Day won the One Thousand (guineas of 1^34, Velocity being second; but, unfortunately, broke her leg while running well for the Oaks and was shot. Painted bii J. F. Jli-rring. TOUCHSTONE. TOUCHSTONE, a broAvn son of Camel, — Banter (a low lengtliy mare standing 1.J..0) hj Master Henry (son of Orville, — Miss Sophia by Stamford), — Boadicea by Alexander (son of Eclipse), — Brunette by Amarantlius (son of Old England, — a dau. of Second, — a dan. of Starling, — Sister to A^ane's Little Partner by Partner), — Mayfly by Match'em, — a dan. of the Ancaster Starling, — a dau. of Clrasshopper (by Old Crab, — a dau. of Astridge Ball, — a dau. of Dods worth, — a Barb Mare), — a dau. of Sir Michael Newton's Arabian, was bred by the Marquis of Westminster in 1831. Touchstone was a very frail looking foal, and " The Druid " remarks of him — " He was in every way a very peculiar horse. His near fore-ankle never was good ; and, at the first Ascot Cup, it had almost risen to the dignity of a ' leg.' He had very fleshy legs, and turned his hocks out so much, and went so wide behind, that a barrel might have been placed between his hind legs when he was galloping. He went with a perfectly straight knee, and w^as altogether a very strange goer. Neither distance nor the state of the Fa lit 0 /IS ITori^es. 177 ground made any difference to him ; l)ut, at exercise, lie was very lazy, and could hardly be kicked along. He was (like his l)rother Launcelot) a very hard puller, and speed was his greatest jioint. In height he stood fifteen hands and two inches, as near as possible. The roots of his ears were the only coarse parts about him. It was grand to watch the wondrous action of his hind legs, and he was equally good for speed and stamina, though he required very fine riding, for he would instantly swerve if his jockey raised the whip. Like many other first class horses, both before and after him. Touchstone always failed at the Mostyn mile ; but he could stay for ever. He never began well, but his immense speed soon brouo-lit him to the fore. He o-ot his stock in almost every form, and they were mostly browns. Surplice was the finest and biggest of them, Orlando being the most beautiful. As a rule they were best at a mile, with but indifferent action in their slow paces, and shaky on their legs before they had advanced very far on their Turf career. Surplice, Orlando, Newminster, and Cotherstone w^ere the best of his sons." Principal Performances. 1834. Chester: Won the Dee Stakes, and the Palatine Stakes. Doncaster : Won the Grreat St. Leger, the field including Plenipotentiary (11 — 10 on), Bran, (xeneral Chasse, and Shillelah. 40 — 1 Touchstone, who was known to be amiss, and Scott elected to ride Lady de Grros in preference. Plenipotentiary (who had been poisoned) was dead beaten early in the race. About one hundred yards from home, Calloway gave Touchstone his head ; and he won, hands down, by four good lengths. The astonishment at this most unexpected result cannot be imagined ; but, perhaps, Calloway himself was more surprised at it than anybody. 1835. Doncaster : Won the Cup, the field including Hornsea, Greneral Chasse, and Shillelah. 1830. Ascot : Won the Cup. Rockingham made the running at a rattling pace to the distance, when Touchstone went up and defeated him easily, winning by two lengths. Doncaster : Won the Cup, the field including Carew, Venison, Bee's-wing, and General Chasse. 1837. Ascot: Won the Cup. Once set fair for home it was all over ; for Touchstone went like an arrow to the front, beating Slane at every stretch, and winning in a canter by six lengths. BRAN, a chestnut son of Humphrey Clinker, — Velvet by Oiseau, — Wire by Waxy, was bred by Lord Sligo in 1831. Principal Per- formances. 1834. Won the York St. Leger. York August: Beat Cotillon. Doncaster : Second to Touchstone for the St. Leger. Won the riascoigne Stakes. 1835. Ascot: Second to Griencoe for the Cup, with Nonsense, Shillelah, Pussy, and Marpessa also in the field. N /■.iiiila/ 1,11 (. Unm: GLENCOE, a chestnut son of Sultan, — Trampoline bj Tramp, — Web by Waxy, was bred by the Earl of Jersey in 1831. Regarding this celebrated animal, " The Druid " remarks — " Of all the countless Sultans Tiny Edwards had through his hands, he loved Glencoe the best. He was a low-backed chestnut, with great speed, and the rare Tramp staying power about him. His ends were very line ; and Kobinson used to look like a man seated in a valley." (xlencoe was sent to America; and, barring, perhaps, Diomed, did more to improve the racing stock in that country than any other imported thoroughbred ; though they took from lis Diomed, Saltram, Spread Eagle, Sir Harry, Archduke, Lapdog, Priam, St. Giles, and St. Blaise (all Derby winners), as well as Phenomenon (son of Herod), Spadille (son of Highflyer), Barefoot, Powton, Margrave, Mango, Don John, and St. Cleorge (all St. Leger winners), (xlencoe died in August, 1857. With all his ancient pluck, he stood up bravely against spasmodic colic and lung fever, for ten days, and died cpiite exhausted from bleeding at the nose. He was a racehorse in the fullest xsense of the term. 1834. Newmarket Craven: Won the Tuesday's Faiiioifs Horses. 1 79 RidcUesworth Stakes in a canter; l)ut on tlie following day was beaten by Plenipotentiary. Newmarket First Spring- : Won the Dessert Stakes. Won the Two Thonsand (Inineas — seven rnnners, inchiding Flatterer (second), Bentley, Paris, and Viator. Epsom : Third for the Derl)y won by Plenipotentiary, (xoodwood : Won the Cup — ten rnnners, including Colwick, Famine, The Saddler, St. Griles, Marpessa, and Nonsense. Up to the distance Marj^essa held the lead, when Colwick and (llencoe over- hauled her, the old horse going strong and well ; but he was so heavy in hand that Bill Scott had very hard work to keep him together ; Glencoe, on the contrary, as light in hand as a feather, and full of running, raced past him at the Stand, and won in the commonest of canters by four lengths. AVon the Pacing Stakes. Newmarket Second October : Won the Grarden Stakes, beating Grlaucus and Colwick. 1835. Ascot: Won the Cup — nine runners, including Bran, Nonsense, Pussy, and Marpessa. Pounding the turn, Chifney made his mighty rush with Shillelah, closely followed by Famine ; but the severity of the pace soon beat them, as it did all the rest, scattered far and wide, Glencoe, Bran, and Nonsense being alone left to contest the race. A glance at Pobinson's seat (by those who knew his style of riding) foretold the result. Next to the rails this superb horseman was skimming over the sod as light and graceful as the dolphin shoots away from the shark. At the Betting Stand, Old John Day brought up Bran in the most resolute manner ; and so gamely did Sir Edward's colt respond to the call, as nearly to get on level terms with Cxlencoe ; but Pobinson, mute and motionless as a statue, just slightly slackened his hold on Grlencoe's head, and sent him in an easy winner by a couple of lengths. All the horses were in the finest possible condition ; and Grlencoe exhibited no sign whatever of distress. This was Glencoe's last race. GENERAL CHASSE, a lurching chestnut son of Acteeon, — Hamble- tonia by Stamford, — Harmonica by Hambletonian, — Monica l^y Sir Peter, — a dau. of Young Marske, — a dau. of Match'em, — a dau. of Tarquin, — Sister to Antelope by Young Belgrade, was foaled in 1831.

Milndig was a full-limbed, coarse -looking horse (a quality derived from his sire). When thoroughly extended, his action was remarkably fine and sweeping. Principal Performances. Epsom : Won the Derby — fourteen runners, including Ascot, Ibrahim by Sultan (winner of the Two Thousand), and Coriolanus (winner of the Doncaster Champagne Stakes). At Tattenham Corner the whole of the field were together; but as soon as they descended the hill, liobinson brought Ibrahim into second place ; and, on reaching the road, Mimdig on the higher ground, and Ascot on the lower, joined the leaders. Before reaching the Stand Ibrahim was beaten, and Pelops succumbed as soon as it w^as passed. The struggle was now confined to Ascot and Mimdig, and a most exciting one it was, Miindig just winning, absolutely on the post, by half a neck ; for, in the very next stride, Ascot's head was in front. Bill Scott said he ne\'er rode a severer race, and he had to shout to Nat as loud as Famous Horses. 181 he could to keep liis colt from hanging on to him. jMiindig was the first north country horse to win the Derby. Doncaster : Unplaced for the Great St. Leger won by Queen of Trumps. Won the Foal Stakes. 1S36. York: Won the King's Cxuineas. Doncaster: Second to Venison for the King's Gruineas. Nottingham : Won the King's Cluineas. This was ^liindig's last appearance on the turf. ASCOT, a bay son of Reveller (by Comus, — Eosette by Bening- borough), — Angelica by Rubens,— Plover by Sir Peter, was bred by the Earl of Orford in 183.2. Principal Performances. 1835. Epsom: Second to Miindig for the Derby. Ascot : Won the St. James' Palace Stakes. Unplaced for the Doncaster St. Leger. Won the Newmarket St. Leger. HORNSEA, a chestnut son of Velocipede, — Sister to Duport by Cerberus, — Miss Cranfield by Sir Peter, — a dau. of Pegasus (by Eclipse, — a dau. of Bosphorus, — Sister to Clrecian Princess by Forester), — a dau. of PajTuaster, — Pomona by Herod, — Caroline by Old Snap, — a dau. of Regulus, — a dau. of Hip (by Childers, — Sister to Soreheels by Basto), — the large Hartley Mare, was foaled in 183.2. Principal Performances. 1835. Doncaster: Second to Queen of Trumps for the St. Leger, Sheet Anchor, Preserve, Miindig (winner of the Derby), and Ascot (beaten but a short neck for the Derby) also in the field. It was well known that in private trials Hornsea could give weight to Miindig ; but, to please Mr. Scott, he was kept in the stable on the Derby Day, though as well as any horse could be, the stable wishing the Squire of Streatlam to win the Derby. Second to Touchstone for the Doncaster " Cup " (a Gold Candelabrum on this occasion), with General Chasse also in the field. At the Red House turn General Chasse went to the front, and held the lead to the distance. Here Hornsea and Touchstone drew up, wdien General Chasse was immediately beaten ; and between the two former one of the most beautiful head and head contests ever witnessed ensued, the gallant Touchstone winning by half a head. 1836. Goodwood: Won the Cup beating Elis and Rockingham. I I II J. I. Rat uiij. QUEEN OF TRUMPS. QUEEN OF TRUMPS, a fine spanking dark brown dau. of Velocipede,— Princess lio^'al by Castrel, — Queen of Diamonds l)y Diamond, — a dau. of Sir Peter, — Lucy by Florizel, was bred by the Hon. Edward Lloyd Mostyn in 183.2. Queen of Trumps was one of the best mares ever seen on the turf ; and, up to her time, the only one that carried off both Oaks and St. Leger. Her sweeping action (close to the ground) much resembled that of her sire. Though possessed of great speed, she had a somewhat delicate constitution, which obliged her to carry more flesh than was pleasing to the eye, and which eventually prevented her training on. She was a bad beginner ; and, in her gallops, she appeared to go lame, first with one leg and then with the other, till she seemed to be lame all round. Principal Performances. 1835. Epsom : Won the Oaks — ten runners, including Preserve (winner of the Clearwell, Criterion, and One Thousand Guineas). .2 — 1 on Preserve, 8 — 1 Queen of Trumps. The wonderful superiority of the Queen over all her competitors, was known only to a select few. At Tattenham Corner, Preserve rushed to the front ; but, at the road, Tommy Lye gave Her Majesty her head. F(inu)iiH Horses. 183 when she instantly passed Preserve, and won, hands (h)wn, in the easiest fashion. Doncaster : Won the Great St. Leger — ten runners, inchidin"- Hornsea (known privately to be better than Miindig), Sheet Anchor, Preserve, ]\Iiindig (winner of the Derby), and Ascot (who was only just beaten by ^Vliindig- for the Derby). Hornsea, Sheet Anchor, Preserve, and Queen of Trumps, in the order named, came on in front up to the rails, the pace having- been very fast all the way ; but Lye kept tight hold of the Queen's head to just within the distance post when he let go one finger on the rein, and she came away, amid signals of severe distress on all sides of her; and won, in the commonest of canters, from Hornsea, who, though dreadfully punished by Scott for the last half-mile, never once flinched, but ran gamely on to the bitter end. IBRAHIIYI, a bay son of Sultan, — Sister to Co1)web by Phantom, was bred by Lord Jersey in ISS.^, and won the Two Thousand (xuineas of 1835 — four runners only. Epsom : Unplaced for Derby won hy Mimdig. Ibrahim was sent to France in 1835. PRESERVE, a chestnut dau. of Emilius,— Mustard (dam also of Perfume, Marmalade, and Morella) by Merlin (s(jn of Castrel), — Morel by Sorcerer, was bred by Mr. Greville in 1832. Principal Performances. 1834. Newmarket: Won the Clearwell Stakes, Hester second. Won the Criterion, Hester second. 1835. Newmarket: Won the One Thousand Gruineas — three runners only. Epsom : Second in the Oaks to Queen of Trumps. Goodwood : Won the Drawing-Eoom Stakes. Walked over for the Verulam Stakes. Pan second to Glaucus for the Goodwood Stakes — fourteen runners. Doncaster : Unplaced for the St. Leger won by Hornsea. SHEET ANCHOR, a dark brown son of Lottery,— Morgiana by Muley, — Miss Stephenson by Scud or Sorcerer, — Sister to Pet worth by Precipitate, — a dau. of Woodpecker, — Sister to Juniper by Old Snap, — Young Marske's dam by Blank, was foaled in 183.2. "The Druid" observes, — " Nearly all the Lotterys had a strong Chase as well as Turf stamp about them. Lottery's principal son. Sheet Anchor, was quite the rage in Yorkshire, after having won the Colt Sapling Stakes at York Spring, when quite unprepared." Sheet Anchor stood sixteen hands one inch high, and was a horse of great bone and power. Principal Performances. 1835. Doncaster: Third for the St. Leger to Queen of Trumps and Hornsea. 183G. Newmarket : Last three miles of B.C. beat Hornsea. This was Sheet Anchor's last appearance on the turf. He was sire of Weatherbit, and grandsire of Beadsman, the sire of Rosicrucian, Blue Gown, Green Sleeves, Pero Gomez, &c. I;,i,itrd l„i J. F. J/nriii,!. BAT MIDDLETON. BAY MIDDLETON, an undefeated bright bay son of Sultan,— Cobweb by Phantom, was bred by the Earl of Jersey in 1833. " No horse," says " The Druid," " that Mr. Herring ever painted, impressed him so firmly in the belief that this distinguished son of Sultan possessed both the heart and muscular power to do what he liked with an}^ horses opposed to him. Bay Middleton was a most frantic subject to handle at first, and became so unruly that Lord Jersey begged James Robinson to go down to New- market to ride him. Arriving by coach at midnight, Kobinson knocked up Edwards (his Lordship's trainer) who exclaimed, ' Thank God, you've come. He's bolted with everybody, and we'll gallop him in the morning, at the Cambridge Gap.' Before mounting, Robinson had some fearful warnings from the head stable-boy, who was told, in reply, to hold Bay Middleton fast by the head till Robinson was well seated. The martin- gale being too short, ' the boy ' was ordered to let it out, when the horse trod upon it and broke it, and, finding his head loose, went off like a shot. Edwards on Sepoy tried to lead him, but he had no notion of Fdiiioif.s Hoiscs. 185 following- anything. liobinson, by degrees, made him quite docile ; and, in his match with Muezzin, he went off with his ears pricked." Principal Performances. 1S3G. Won the Two Thousand Guineas, Elis second. Won the Derby. Within the half-distance, liobinson (on Bay Middleton) challenged Gladiator, ran level with him for fifty yards, and then went brilliantly ahead, iinally winning by two lengths. New- market : Won the Grand Duke Michael Stakes, beating Elis. " This was a tremendous struggle, and will never be forgotten by those wdio saw it ; but, notwithstanding Day's resolute riding of Elis, and the lavish use of whip and spur to the Hanks of one of the best and gamest horses that ever ran. Bay Middleton secured the victory by a length. The struggle between these two Turf giants has been immortalized by the brush of old Herring, in a picture which still adorns the dining-room of the late Sir Tatton Sykes at Sledmere. This was the only occasion on which Eobinson (who was always a tender and considerate rider) ever touched Bay Middleton. The ground was very heavy going, which the horse did not like, any more than his renowned son, the Flying Dutchman. Eobinson, in truth, had waited too long. He saw his error just in time, and speedily rectified it ; but it was at Bay Middleton's expense. Had he come earlier with him, the race never could have been in doubt, grand horse as Elis unquestionably was. Eobinson was admitted to be the premier jockey of his day. Nothing in the art of riding ever equalled Prank Buckle's bull-dog courage, Jem Eobinson's ' short heads on the post,' and Sam Chifney's ' mighty rushes ' and ' power in the saddle.' " New- market Houghton : Gave Muezzin 131b. and a beating over the Ditch Mile. This was the last appearance on the Turf of this magnificent son of Sultan. His stock were fac-similes of himself — fine, bright bay horses. CYPRIAN, a bay dau. of Partisan,— Frailty by Filho-da-Puta,— Agatha by Orville, — Star by Young Marske, — Emma by Telemachus, — A-la-Grecque by Eegulus, was foaled in 1S33, and won the Oaks of 1836. About a distance and a half from home, Cyprian, Fair Jane, Province, Marmalade, and Destiny engaged in a grand struggle, which they main- tained to the Stand, when Destiny and Cyprian springing forward simultaneously, Scott landed the latter a winner after a fine race. Cyprian had walked from Malton to Epsom ; and, after a brief rest, w^as despatched to Newcastle, where she won the Northumberland Plate easily, although during the month she had tramped some 300 miles on the road. Diaiai Ini J. .Stuiyi: VENISON, a brown son of Partisan, — Fawn by Smolensko, — Jerboa by Gohanna, — Camilla by Trentbam, was foaled in 1883. Venison was one of tbe finest moulded liorses ever seen. Tbe exquisite tapered head, small ears, and prominent eyes, full of fire, gave him a splendid aj)pearance, wbile bis ligbt, graceful, and sw^eeping action, gallant courage, and perfect symmetry, carried tbe deer-like resemblance to its utmost extent. " Tbe Druid " says of bim — " A gamer or more gentlemanly little horse never cantered down tbe cords ; and, cross him as you might, nearly all bis stock came small, with grey hairs in their coat, a tapering white reach bead, and a beautiful deer-like eye. Tbe lack of size came through his grand-dam. Jerboa. He was rather a lurching, long-actioned goer, and wanted a deal of assistance. His Turf finish was right worthy of him. He carried 9st. 01b. at Stockbridge, and broke down three-quarters of a mile from home ; but, thanks to the careful nursing of young John Day, he finished fourth, with his head at the winner's girths. Venison was bought at a weeding out sale for Faiiioxs Hor.sc-s. 187 1 ()()/. ; and us a three-year-old was one of the most hard-worked horses in training. Tramping from one racecourse to another he thus kept himself in condition, and won eleven races between Epsom and Doncaster. The grace of Venison lingered amongst us for many years in the tight little mares he left behind him. His son Kingston, the handsome ' Knight of the Silver Hair,' was snatched away just when breeders had discovered his merits as a sire." Principal Performances. 1880. Third for the Derby to Bay Middleton and (iladiator. Doncaster : Won the King's Plate — four miles — beating Mi'indig (winner of the Derby of 1835). Third for the Doncaster Cup to Touchstone and Carew, with Bee's -wing and Greneral Chasse also in the field. ELIS, a bright chestnut son of Langar (by Selim, — a dau. of Walton, — Young Giantess by Diomed), — Olympia by Sir Oliver, — Scotilla by Anvil, — Scota by Eclipse, was foaled in 1833. Principal Performances. 1835. Newmarket: Won the Chesterfield Stakes. Goodwood: Won the Molecomb Stakes. Newnuirket : Won the Clearwell, ran second for the Prendergast, and won the Criterion. 1830. Newmarket: Second to Bay Middleton for the Tavo Thousand Guineas. Goodwood : Second to Hornsea for the Cup. Won the Drawing Boom Stakes, and the Pacing Stakes. Lewes : Won the LewTs Stakes. Doncaster : Won the Great St. Leger — fourteen runners, including Bee's-wing, Redshank, Vulture (dam of Orlando), and Carew. At the Red House John Day (on Elis) rushed to the front, obtaining a lead of a full length, and finally winning easily by two lengths. 1837. New^narket D.M. : Beat Slane in a match, Elis giving 71b. REDSHANK, a bay son of Sandbeck (by Catton,— Sister to Orville by Beningborough), — Johanna by Selim, — Comical's dam by Skyscraper, — a dau. of Dragon, — Fidget's dam by Match'em, was foaled in 1833.

Newmarket: Won the Craven Stakes and the Queen's Plate. BEE S-WING. BEE'S-WING, a bay dau. of Dr. Syntax, — a dau. of Ardrossan, — Lady Eliza by Whitworth (son of Agonistes, — a dau. of Jupiter, — a dau. of Highflyer, — a dau. of Matcli'em, — Sister to Pioneer by Old England), — X. Y. Z's. dam by Spadille, — Sylvia by Young Marske, was foaled in 1833. " Bee's-wing, the most noted of all the Doctor's daughters, and the pride of Northumberland, stood barely fifteen hands two inches high, and always ran big. She had one of the sweetest heads ever seen, and her hips and ribs w^ere capital ; but she was rather light boned, owing, in a great measure, to her having been badly kept when a foal. With all his Turf lore, Mr. Orde had never learnt that bone and muscle must originally go in at the mouth. Bee's-wdng was a well advanced yearling before she rubbed her nose against an oat. She never hit to any horse, except Touchstone ; and her two sons by him, Newminster and Nunnykirk, were beautiful movers. She was a tremendous kicker in her stall, but showed no vice whatever at the post. She pulled very hard at first ; but was, nevertheless, a most delightful mare to ride. Bee's-wing's dam was a lame mare by Ardrossan, who was an immense horse, with a crest almost Fa)})o/fs Horses. ISO equalling that of the (xodolphm Aral)ian. Bob Johnson won his maiden race on Bee's-wing's dam at Doncaster ; but she never ran again, having slipped her stifle joint going home, and becoming a cripple for life." Principal Performances of Bee's-wing. IS 8 5. iJoncaster : Won the Champagne Stakes. 1830. Won the Newcastle 8t. Leger, and Newcastle Cup.

Newcastle : Won the Craven Stakes ; but was beaten a short head by Lanercost for the Cup. York : Won the Cup. Doncaster : Won the Fitzvvilliam Stakes, and the Doncaster Cup, beating, in the latter, The Provost and Charles XII. Charles XII. held the lead to the distance, when Bee's-wing and The Provost overhauled him, the old mare coming away and winning very easil3\ Kelso : Beaten half a length by Lanercost for the Cup ; and at the same meeting, over two miles, ran a dead-heat with Lanercost, who ran at a disadvantage of 21b., as compared with the weights for the Cup, a remarkable confirmation of form ; and further indorsed hj the result of the race for the Cup at Newcastle in the spring. After running the dead- heat, Bee's-wing, on the same afternoon, beat The Doctor and Dr. Caius over 2 J miles. 1841. Newcastle : Beaten by Charles XII. for the Craven Stakes ; but won the Cup, defeating Calypso and Lanercost. Stockton : Won the Cup. Doncaster : Won the Cup, and the Hornby Castle Stakes. Eichmond: Won the Cup. 1842. Ascot: Won the Gold Cup. New- castle : Won the Cup, beating Charles XII. Doncaster : Won the Cup, defeating Charles XII. again. As at Ascot, the fine old mare went off with a rattling lead, and at a pace which the others were quite unal)le to follow ; she was never headed, and won l)y six lengths. Her last race ; and a truly glorious finish to a wonderful career.

IRISH BIBDCATCHER. IRISH BIRDCATCHER, a chestnut son of Sir Hercules,— Guiccioli by Bob Booty, — night by Irish Escape (son of Commodore, — Buffer's dam by Highflyer,— Shift by Sweetbriar), — Young Heroine by Bagot (son of Herod, — Marotte by Match'em, — a dau. of Traveller, — a dan. of Hartley's Blind Horse), — Heroine by Phenomenon, — Princess by Eclipse, — a dau. of Bosphorus (son of Babraham, — a dau. of The Hampton Court Childers, — a dau. of Leeds, — The Moonali Barb Mare), — Sister to Cxrecian Princess by Eorester, was foaled in Ireland in 1833. " The Druid " says, in reference to this renowned scion of the Whalebone line — " This chestnut son of Sir Hercules must ever occupy a distin- guished position in the Darley Arabian family, as the progenitor of The Baron and Chanticleer; and, through the former, of Stockwell and Pataplan, not to mention his son Oxford, the sire of that good horse Sterling. The direct living descendants of Birdcatcher are few. Stockwell, Rataplan, and Saunterer are gone ; Oxford and Sterling alone remain to perpetuate the stock of the light, corky, short, tight-back, and elastic action of one of the fastest horses that ever sped over the gradients of the Curragh. They who seek for a type of what Birdcatcher was, have to look to Saunterer, rather than to Oxford, Fainut'.'i JIurscs. 191 for a family representative. His action in all his paces was grand. He died in March, 18G0, aged twenty-seven, leaving a long list of mares at the stud, the most famous of which, in recent years, were Athena, I'allas, Ayacanora, Lady Trespass, Peri, Manganese, Rambling Kate ; and those Eltham beauties, Agra, Calcavella, Elspeth, England's Beauty, Exact, Gossamer, iS:c. In redeeming Saunterer from the Austrians, Mr. Blenkiron testified to the great value he set on the Birdcatcher blood." Birdcatcher won several important races at the Curragh ; and, on retiring from the Turf, joined Lord Kossmore's stud in Ireland. GLADIATOR, a chestnut son of Partisan, — Pauline by Moses (son of W halebone), — Quadrille by Selim, was foaled in 1833, and ran second for the Derby of 183() to Bay Middleton — with Venison, Slane, and The Athenian also in the field. This was the last occasion upon which (lladiator appeared in public, his previous essays having been anything but successful. Gladiator, however, wnll be ever famous as the sire of Sweetmeat and Queen Mary, and grandsire of Macaroni, Carnival, Sweet Sauce, and Parmesan. Other celebrated members of this family mav be mentioned in Cremorne, Favonius, and Macy'reo^or. DESTINY, a chestnut dau. of Sultan, — Fanny Davies by Filho- da-Puta, — Treasure by Camillus, was bred by Mr. Houldsworth in 1833, and won the One Thousand Guineas of 183(1 — seven runners, including Toga, Zenana, Marmalade, and Firefly. Destiny ran second to Cyprian for the Oaks — twelve runners, including Marmalade, Fair Jane, Emineh, and Vesper. SLANE, a bay son of Eoyal Oak (by Catton,— a dau. of Smolensko, — Miss Cannon by Orville, — Cannon Ball's dam by Weathercock),— a dau. of Orville, — Epsom Lass by Sir Peter, — Alexina by King Fergus, was bred by Colonel Peel in 1833. Principal Performances. 1835. Newmarket: Second to Elis for the Criterion Stakes. 183(5. Newmarket : Beat Hornsea in a match. 1837. Re i gate : Won the Dinner Stakes, beating \^enison. Ascot : Second to Touchstone for the Gold Cup. Goodwood : Won the Waterloo Shield — three miles and three-quarters — beating a field of seventeen. Oxford : Won the Cup, now '1\ miles ; but formerly always four miles. Slane now retired from the Turf. He had " a sad aptitude for getting roarers, and there were no less than ten or eleven by him in one year. Their chief speciality was to be game and slow." (From -'The Druid.") Painted hy J. F. HerriiKj. PHOSPHORUS PHOSPHORUS, a bay son of Lamplighter, — Camarine's dam by Rubens, was foaled in 1834, and won the Derby of 1837. Approaching Tattenham Corner several retired dead beaten, so tremendous had been the pace all through. Rounding the corner, Caravan was seen to be leading, with Phosphorus a length behind him. Caravan lead to the distance, at which point Harry Edwards brought up Mahometan with a rush, and raced with Dardanelles and Hibiscus. Half-way up, Phosphorus, on the lower ground, was level with Caravan, and a desperate struggle commenced. Head by head they ran, Pavis using whip and spur very freely, while Greorge Edwards worked his horse in the most scientific manner, calm and resolute, his seat and handling being worthy of Robin- son's finest displays. Nose to nose, however, they still were, tiU within twenty yards of the winning post, where Edwards forged ahead, by magni- ficent horsemanship, and sent Phosphorus in the victor by half -a -length. The pace was very fast from start to finish. Two days before the race Phosphorus was so lame that John Day declined riding him ; and, but for Famous; Horses. 193 Lord Berners (liis owner) insisting on his being sent to the post, Phosphorus wouki have remained in his stable. He never ran again in Enghmd. Having been sold to the Duke of Brunswick for 1000 guineas, and sent over to Brunswick, he was again put into training ; but his lameness prevented his further success on the Turf, and he was finally sent to the Royal Stud. MANGO, a dark bay son of Emilius, — Mustard by Merlin, was foaled in 1834. "Mango stood close upon sixteen hands high, with a form indicating great power. His legs were strong and well shaped, and he was remarkably round in the rib, as a three-year-old he had all the appearance of a five-year-old horse, from his great muscular development. In his running he was thoroughly honest, but very lazy, which accounts for the inequality of his performances. On many occasions his rider found it most difficult to get him to his speed ; and thus he was defeated by horses very inferior to himself." Principal Performances. 1837. Won the Ascot Derby. Stockbridge : Beat Wisdom. This race was delayed half-an-hour for the arrival of Lord Chesterfield and Mr. Greville (the owner of Mango), who came rattling over the hill in an open barouche and four, and were no sooner landed on the course than the former offered 0 — ^4, in thousands, on Mango. Wisdoni (who was very fine drawn, for you could almost see through him) went off at score, at his best pace, and continued this severe running, with Mango close at his heels, till round'ng the turn into the straight, which they entered almost level. Mango on the inside, and Wisdom sweeping round to the opposite cords. The clang of the whips was heard all up the course, and they ran so nearly level all through that no one could say which had won till the judge's verdict of " Mango by a head " had been given. Doncaster : Won the Great St. Leger — thirteen runners, including Epirus (favourite), and Mahometan. Epirus fell soon after starting; and, at the distance, Henriade was thrown down by a dog. Mango winning, without any difficulty, by a length and a half. Won the Newmarket St. Leger. 1838. Newmarket: Won the Claret Stakes. CARAVAN (who on his first appearance in public ran a close race with Phosphorus for the Derby) was a bay son of Camel, — Wings by The Flyer, and was bred by Lord Stradbroke in 1834. He won the Ascot Gold Cup in 1839. •nti'd hii Ilarni Hull. MELBOURNE. MELBOURNE, a very powerful, rich brown, son of Humphrey CHnker, — a dau. of Cervantes (a compact son of Don Quixote,— Evelina by Highflyer), — a dau. of Golumpus, — a dau. of Paynator, — Sister to Zodiac by 8t. (reorge, — Abigail by Woodpecker, — Firetail by EcHpse, — a dan. of Blank,— a dau. of Old Cade, was foaled in 1834. "The Druid" remarks — " It was the sight of Melbourne's knees that induced the late Mr. Sydney Herbert (afterwards Lord Herbert of Lea) to decline the offer of him, though he bought two other yearlings by Humphrey Clinker for .250 guineas each, belonging to Mr. Robinson, senior. The son, however, owned and trained Melbourne at Hambleton. Melbourne was knuckle-kneed from a foal ; and few horses were ever seen with so thin a crest, or with such length from the shoulder joint to the hip. The Melbourne l^lood nicked well with Touchstone, through Mowerina, in West Australian ; but it sometimes happened that when put to Touchstone mares he got his stock too long, as in the case of Sortie. Blanche of Middlebie, so bred, was one of the lengthiest fillies ever seen ; but her growth took a different turn. Cannobie, Oak-ball, Canezou, and Tasmania all inherited their sire's fine length. His blood, however, hit best for speed when the produce were short. Blink Bonny, from the F(i hi 0 ns Ho rses. 195 very peculiar droop in her tpiarters, looked as if she had l)een cut short, and Brocket had not (|uite length enouo-li for his frame. His stock had usually good legs and feet, a large head, lop ears, and the peculiar Melbourne blaze. Long before Melbourne failed at the stud he had done quite enough for his fame, as his scores of winners in Weatherby's pages sufficiently attest." Principal Performances. 1888. Lincoln : Won the Cup. 18.'39. Beverley: Won the Cup. York August : Secimd to Bee's-wing for the Queen's Plate, beating Epirus. lYIISS LETTY, a bay dau. of Priam, — a dau. of Orville, — a dau. of Buzzard, — Hornpipe by Trumpator, was bred hy the Hon. Thos. Orde Powlett, of Bolton Castle, near Middleham, Yorkshire, in 1834, and w^on the Oaks of 1837 — thirteen runners, including Chapeau d'Espagne (winner of the One Thousand Guineas). At Tattenham Corner Miss Letty was pulling so hard that her rider (Holmes) had the greatest difficulty in restraining her impetuosity. At the distance Chapeau was still leading ; but it was evident that Holmes had only to make up his mind " when to come," and the race w^as over. This he did about 400 yards from the chair, giving Miss Letty her head, when she shot past Chapeau d'Espagne like a flash, winning, hard held, by three lengths. The pace was very strong the whole distance. Miss Letty was the dam of Weatherbit (sire of Beadsman and grandsire of Blue Grown, Rosicrucian, Pero Gomez, The Palmer, and Green Sleeves). AC H MET (an undefeated brother to Bay Middleton), by Sultan, — Cobwel>, was bred l^y Lord Jersey in 1834. Principal Performances. 1837. Newmarket: Won the Eiddlesworth Stakes; also won the Two Thousand Guineas by half-a-length — nine runners, including Mustee (second), Troilus, Dardanelles, and Gil Bias.

HARKAWAY, a chestnut son of Economist, — a dan. of Nabocklisli (son of Rugantino, Brother to Irish Escape), — Miss Tooley by Teddy the Grrinder (son of Asparagus, — Stargazer by Highflyer, — Miss West by Match'em), — Lady Jane by Sir Peter, was foaled in Ireland in 1834. Harkaway, though termed a chestnut, was really in colour a pale yellow sorrel. He was a powerful, but coarse and angular-looking, horse ; so much so indeed as to resemble a carthorse rather than a racer. It was when in action that the astounding powers of the horse were seen, and the apparent ease to himself with which he galloped. His vast stride and great speed were truly amazing. His head was light, bony, and long, with ears fine and well set on. His neck was light, short, well- formed and muscular. Principal Performances. 1 S3 7-8. Won eleven races in Ireland, including the Royal Whip. 1838. (xoodwood : Won the Cup, beating Hyllus, Deception (winner of the Oaks), The Doctor, Epirus, and Beggarman. This was one of the fastest run races on record, Harkaway winning from start to finish. Altogether Harkaway started in thirty-eight races, winning twenty-five. His remarkable success on the Turf made the Americans very anxious to get possession of him, and Fainof(s Horses. 197 they comniissioiu'd their a^-eut, thr()ni>"li Messrs. Tattersall, to inquire tlie price, and whether the horse was still in work ? To this ]\[r. Ferg'usson (his then owner) replied — " The price of Harkaway is six thousand >. Coronation stood sixteen hands high, and kept his ears in a perpendicular position. Taken altogether he was a very handsome animal ; and, in his walk, as nimble and ehistic as a pony. Principal Performances. 1S41. Epsom: Won the Derby, the field including Van Amburgh (Bro. to Sleight-of-Hand), Ealph (winner of the Two Thousand Guineas, the Cambridgeshire of LS4.'2, and Ascot Cup of 1843), Marshal Soult (Bro. to Hornsea), and Potentia (winner of the One Thousand (ruineas). Oxford : Won the Cup, beating Isaac and Caravan. Doncaster : Beaten a head by Satirist for the St. Leger, the result being unquestionably due to the masterly riding of William Scott, who stole a march on John Day. Coronation, though perfectly sound, had not had a gallop for a full week before the race. He did not run again. GHUZNEE, a bay dau. of Pantaloon (by Castrel), — Languish by Cain, — Lydia by Poulton (son of Sir Peter, — Fanny by Diomed), — Variety by Hyacinthus, — Sister to Swordsman by Weasel (son of Herod), — a dau. of Fanio/f.^ Horses. 211 Turk (son of Eeguliis, — a dau. of Crab, — Ainclia's dam by Cliilders), — a daii. of Locust (by Old Crab, — a dau. of Childers), — a dau. of Change- ling- (brother to jNIatch'em), — a dau. of Old Cade, was bred by the ^Marquis of Westminster in 1838. Languish (the dam of (xhuznee) absolutely languished for home, and refused to breed during the three years she lived abroad. Ghuznee, when she won the Oaks, stood only fourteen hands and three inches high ; but, as flohn Scott observed, " she was a perfect rattler ; and, to his mind, was one of the many proofs that superior-looking legs always go the quickest." After the Oaks she had rest and green food for a few days ; and, after Ascot, the same for a fortnight ; but, at the end of that time, on being taken out of her box, her sinews were found to be quite crooked, and she was then taken out of training. Had it been known in what a sad condition her legs were between Epsom and Ascot, she would never have been allowed to walk over for the Coronation Stakes. Principal Performances. 1841. Epsom: Upon her first appearance in public, Grhuznee won the Oaks, the field including Lampoon (stable companion of the winner), Miss Stilton, and Potentia (winner of the One Thousand Gruineas). Lord Westminster, at the eleventh hour, declared to win with (Ihuznee ; though a quarter of an hour before starting Lampoon was first favourite at 2 — 1. (Ihuznee started at 7 — 4. She took up the running at the road ; and although Miss Stilton challenged at the distance, and made a bit of a race of it to the Stand, Ghuznee shook her off, and won easily by a length. Ascot : A¥alked over for the Coronation Stakes ; and was forthwith put to the stud. POTENTIA, a chestnut dau. of Plenipotentiary, — Acacia by Phantom,— Augusta by Woful, was foaled in 1838. Principal Performances. 1841. Newmarket First Spring : Won the One Thousand Guineas — five runners. Epsom : Unplaced f<.)r the Derby. Unplaced for the Oaks. Newmarket : Won the Grand Luke Michael Stakes, beating John O'Gaunt, Eringo, and Chameleon. ? :: ALICE HAWTHORN. ALICE HAWTHORN, a bay dan. of Muley Moloch —Eebecca by Lottery, — a dau. of Cervantes, — Anticipation by Beningborougli, was foaled in 1838; and was the dam of Thormanby, the winner of the Derby of 1860. Principal Performances. 184.2. Chester: Won the Cup, beating- Lanercost, Vulcan, and Satirist. Also won the Cheshire Stakes. 1843. Doncaster : Won the Cup b}' twenty lengths, beating Charles XII. Pichmond : Won the Cup, beating Nutwith (winner of the St. Leger). 1844. Ascot: Won the Queen's Yase, beating Robert de Grorham. Goodwood : AVon the Cup, beating Prizefighter and The Era. Doncaster : Won the Fitzwilliam Stakes, and the Doncaster Cup. Alice Hawthorn won many other races. SATIRIST, a brown son of Pantaloon (by Castrel), — Sarcasm by Teniers, — Banter by Master Henry, was In-ed by the Marquis of Westminster in 1838. Satirist stood fifteen hands and two inches hig-h, and had very round camel-like quarters, a small head, high shoulders, strong arms and legs, a star in the forehead, and the near hind foot white. Principal Performances. 1841. Ascot: Won the Queen's Yase, beating Faii/ot(-s Hor.scs. '2 1 '^ Lanercost. Doncaster : AVon the Grreat St. Legvr. From the One-mile Post to the Eed House, C\)ronation was leading- at a strong but steady pace, Satirist going-, stride for stride, with him, about a length behind. As they made the turn, The Squire, running most gamely, came up again (he had stumbled on descending the hill), and took third place. From this point only these three were in the race, all the rest being beaten off. As they crossed the last road, Coronation's chance for the first time seemed to be in jeopardy. Satirist was now almost head to head with him, and Coronation seemed unable to shake him off. At the distance, the two closed ; and John Day, finding his horse in difEculties, gave him a pull, when Scott shot past him ; and, in spite of all Coronation could do, kept Satirist's nose in front, winning by half a head. The Squire, a length from Coronation, was third. It is difficult to understand why Coronation, sound as steel, and in full vigour of health, should not have had a gallop for a full week before the race. But such actually was the case. In his preliminary canter he went in superb style, and the general feeling was that the St. Leger was over. Satirist, however, was in splendid condition, and went equally well. RALPH, a chestnut son of Dr. Syntax, — a dau. of Catton, — Altisidora by Dick Andrews, was foaled in 1838. Principal Performances. 1840. NeA\niiarket : Won the Criterion Stakes. 1841. Newmarket: Won the Two Thousand Guineas in the green and white cap of Lord Albemarle. Goodwood : Won the Drawing Room Stakes. Newmarket : Won the Garden Stakes. 1842. Won the Ascot Cup. " Ralph had the same prominent eye as his sire, and such a velvety skin that it was said he had no hair except on his mane and tail. He was poisoned just prior to the Ascot Cup. He w^on, but pulled up in a desperate state of gasping, and the perspiration and distension of the nostrils never seemed to leave him." (From "The Druid.") I'lunteti by C. Jlaiictck. ATTILA (W. SCOTT TJP). ATTILA, a very beautifully moulded bay son of Colwick, — Progress by Langar, — a dan. of Blacklock, — a dan. of Knowsley [by Sir Peter,— Bal^ by Bordeaux (son of Herod, — the Cygnet mare)], — Surveyor's dam by Tartar, — Sister to Comet by Old Cade, — a dan. of Young Greyhound, — Doll by Woodcock, was foaled in 1S89. Attila, when rising two years old, was purchased by CoL Anson for 1.20/. "Bill Scott," says "The Druid," " invariably coupled Attila with Magistrate, as having tried them liigher than anything they ever had at AVhitehall. Attila, when in condition- as a sire, was, like Sultan, one of the most beautifully moulded horses that painter ever glanced at." Principal Performances. 1841. Doncaster : Won the Champagne Stakes. Attila was tried toward the end of September at midnight ; and, though it was so dark that Scott could not distinguish the horses, he knew, from Attila's quick and delicate step, that he was in front ; and he finished 200 yards in advance of everything. Newmarket : Won the Clearwell very easily. 184.2. Epsom : Won the Derl)y Coldrenick (the favourite) was beaten before reaching Tattenham Corner ; and, at the distance, Attila shot to the front with the race completely at his mercy. Cotton (on Eobert de Ffijiio/fs Hor-srs. 215 Gorlumi) came with a rusli; but was unable even to approach Attila, who won as he ])lease(l. " John Scott always considered his brother's riding of Satirist in the St. Leger, and of Attila in the Derby, to have been the finest specimens of his style, which, as far as daring and decision went, have perhaps never been matched." ("The Druid.") Doncaster : Unplaced for the St. Leger. 1S44: Fell lame in running for the Ascot Gold Cu]), and did not start again. BLUE BONNET, a bay dau. of Touchstone,— Maid of Melrose by Brutandorf, — a dau. of Whisker, — a dau. of Orville, — a dau. of Expectation (son of Sir Peter, — Zilia by Eclipse, — Jemima by Snap),^ Calabria by Spadille, was foaled in 1831). Blue Bonnet broke down twice as a two-year-old, but was quite sound at the end of the next summer ; and, prior to the St. Leger, beat Charles XII. in a trial, so that Tom Dawson did not fear Attila. " Blue Bonnet was only in the market a few hours before the St. Leger, and those connected with her won more money on the race than the Attila party did on the Derby. The pace at which Scott, on Attila, raced for the lead, and also after lie had obtained it, was most tremendous. No horse that ever lived could have kept it up from end to end of the St. Leger ccnirse. Blue Bonnet and Priscilla Tomboy ran head and head to the Stand, when Blue Bonnet, running the fastest and longest, was apparently winning very easily, till Chappie brought up Seahorse with a rush, and stuck to Blue Bonnet's haunches to the chair, but failed to get his head in front." Tommy Lye punished Blue Bonnet so severely that her flanks and ribs were lacerated in a hundred places. She carried 200/. of his money ; but he never rode for Tom Dawson's stable afterwards. Blue Bonnet, a really gcjod mare, was, after this, worthless as a racehorse. OUR NELL, a chestnut dau. of Bran, — Fury by Tramp, — Lunacy by Blacklock, — Maniac by Shuttle, was foaled in 1839; and won the Oaks of 1842. METEOR, a chestnut son of Velocipede,— Dido by Whisker,— Miss (xarforth by Walton, — a dau. of Hyacinthus, — Zara by Delpini, was foaled in 1*^30 ; and won the Two Thousand Guineas of 1842. FIREBRAND, a chestnut dau. of Lamplighter, — the dam of Recovery, Camarine, Phosphorus, and May Day by liubens, — Tip])itywitchet by AVaxy, was foaled in 1830, and won the One Thousand Guineas of 1842. I'nihifd }ni 11. Bitn-fiiirl. COTHEESTONE. COTHERSTONE, a thoroughly racing-like light bay son of Touchstone, with black legs, and grand quarters, was bred by John Bowes, Esq., of Streatlam, in 1840. His dam was Emma (dam also of Miindig, and grand-dam of West Australian) by Whisker. " The Druid " remarks — " Whitehall never received a thinner fleshed yearling than when John Scott took Cotherstone from Isaac Walker's hands. As a two-year-old he was always amiss. The first Earl Spencer bought Cotherstone for 3000 guineas in 1844, before he broke down at Goodwood; and when he arrived at Althorp in his van his fetlocks almost touched the ground. Stilton was his best son, but was difficult to train." Principal Performances. 1843. Newmarket: Won the Eiddlesworth and the Column Stakes. Won the Two Thousand Cluineas three runners only. Epsom : Won the Derby. " Pound Tattenham Corner, the blue jacket and white cap of Graper led the field , but Scott brought Cotherstone down the hill like a flash of lightning ; and, before reaching the road, Gaper was beaten, and tired to nothing, as soon as the impetus of the descent was out of his legs. The black jacket now led the van, and Cotherstone came on apparently with the race in hand. But the Fa III 0 fist Ilor.se-s'. 217 contest was not yet at an end, as (xorhambury now fairly tackled tlie favourite. Just outside the distance, Bill Scott, taking a firm grip of Cotlierstone, who was now fairly extended, landed him the winner by a clear length." Doncaster : Beaten a head by Nutwith for the St. Leger. Won the Three-Year-Old Stakes. Newmarket : Won the Eoyal Stakes. 1844. Broke down at ( rood wood. POISON, a bright chestnut dau. of Plenipotentiary, — Arsenic by the Colonel, — Arsena by Morisco (son of Muley, — Aquilina by Eagle), — Arethusa by Quiz,— Persepolis by Alexander, was bred by the Earl of Orford in 1840. Principal Performances. 1843. Epsom: Won the Oaks. Crossing the road the four leaders were nearly abreast. At the distance, Chifney, by a great effort, placed Extempore (winner of the One Thousand) in front ; but she could not stay, and Sam Butler rushed Poison at such a pace that nothing could live with her. In fact, Sam's rush at the finish could never be forgotten by those who witnessed it. EXTEMPORE (sister to Euclid), a bay dau. of Emilius, was foaled in 1840. Principal Performances. 1842. Newmarket: Won the July Stakes. 1843. Won the One Thousand Gruineas. A BRITISH YEOMAN, a brown son of Liverpool,— Fancy by Osmond (son of Filho-da-Puta), — Sister to Countess by Catton, — a dau. of Hambletonian, — a dau. of Shuttle, — Gentle Kitty by Silvio, was foaled in 1840. Principal Performances. 1842. Doncaster: Won the Champagne Stakes. 1843. Epsom: Not placed for the Derby won by Cotherstone. " A British Yeoman was certainly the handsomest son that Liverpool ever got ; and, like him, he was remarkably clean-hocked. His highly promising Derby chance was destroyed by a most peculiar seizure. On the setting-on of his off' arm there came a soft swelling about the size and thickness of a large dish, and a similar one above the hock on the same side. Both disappeared after some time. As a getter of racehorses the Yeoman had but little scope given him, otherwise there would have been few to match him as a sire of thoroughbreds. His hunters were superb." Pdilltol hll ./. h\ llririllj. NUTWITH. NUTWITH, a bay son of Tomboy, — a dan. of Conins (by Sorcerer), — a tlan. of Stamford (by Sir Peter), — Miss Jndy by Alfred, was foaled in 1840. Nntwith stood fifteen hands two and a qnarter inches high ; but, when mounted, had the appearance of being a smaller horse. Princi])al Performances. 1843. York: Second to Prizefighter for the Grreat Yorkshire Stakes. Doncaster : Won the Great St. Leger. At the distance, Prizefighter, still leading, was going at his best, as though he meant winning, instead of making play, as was his mission, for Cotherstone. At the half-distance, however, he was done with ; and Cotherstone and Nut with from the Stand came on together, racing stride for stride, and head to head, and thus they finished one of the finest contests ever witnessed on the Town Moor, victory resting with Nutwith by a short head. It has been stated that Cotherstone was 2)ulled in favour of the second string, Prizefighter, and came too late when it was seen that the latter was beaten, (xully is said to have stood to win 5 0,000/. over Prizefighter. THE EIYIPEROR, a chestnut son of Defence,— a dau. of Eeveller.— Design (sister to Dangerous) by Tramp, was foaled in 1841. Principal Fa urn//. s Horses. 219 Performances. 1S44. Ascot: Won the (fold Cup, Ideating Attila (winner of the Derby of 1S42, but who fell lame early in the race) and Poison (winner of the Oaks of 1843). Won The Emperor of Pussia's Plate at Ascot in 184 5 (given in lieu of the (jfold Cup), beating Foig-a- Ballagh, Alice B[a^^i:horn, and Cowl (who fell lame in running). This was the Emperor's last race. He was the reputed sire of Monarque, who gave so many good animals, including (lladiateur, to both the French and English Turf. FOIG-A-BALLAGH, a brown son of Sir Hercules, — Gruiccioli by Bob Booty, was foaled in 1841. Principal Performances. 1844. l)(jncaster : Won the Great St. Leger, The Cure second, and The Princess (winner of the Oaks) third. Newmarket : Won the (Irand Duke Michael Stakes. Won the Cesarewitch (8st.) by three lengths. The Emperor (7st. 131b.) being also in the field. Second for the Cambridgeshire (8st.), The Cure (7st. 131b.) being among the starters. 1845. Ascot: Second to The Emperor for the Emperor of Russia's Plate, with Alice Hawthorn and Cowl (wdio fell lame in running) also in the field. JOE LOVELL, a bay son of Velocipede, — Cyprian by Partisan, was foaled in 1841. Principal Performances. 1844. York : Won the Gfreat Yorkshire Stakes. Doncaster : Won the Three-Year-Old Stakes. 1845. Groodwood : Won a Sweepstakes. THE UGLY BUCK, a bay son of Venison,— Monstrosity by Pleni- potentiary,— Puce by Powton, — Pucelle by Muley, — Medora by Selim, was bred by Mr. John Day in 1841 ; and won the Two Thousand Gfuineas of 1844. SORELLA, a chestnut dau. of The Saddler, — a dau. of Partisan, — Pomona by A^espasian, — a dau. of Walton, — Young (xiantess by Diomed, was bred by Mr. Osbaldeston in 1841 ; and won the One Thousand Gruineas of 1844. THE PRINCESS, a chestnut dau. of Slane,— Sister to Cobweb by Phantom, was foaled in 1841, and in 1844 won the Oaks and the Coronation Stakes, and ran third to Foig-a-Ballagh and The Cure for the Doncaster St. Leger. J'uiiit(d by J. 1\ lla-riiiij. ORLANDO, a bay son of Touchstone, — Vulture by Langar, — Kite by Bustard (son of Castrel), — Olympia by Sir Oliver, was foaled in 1841. " The Druid " observes — " Touchstone was unable to counteract all the softness of Vulture in Orlando, whose action, which was very straight from the forelegs, did not convey the idea of his being a stayer, like his sire ; and, as a general rule, his stock were fondest of a mile. We could never tire of looking at him, as he stood at ease in his box, resting his near hind foot, and showing the rich folds of that beautiful muscular neck, as he turned his high-bred forehead round, and looked with that fine, but now dim, eye at his visitors." Orlando's best sons were Teddington, Trumpeter, Fazzoletto, FitzEoland, Crater, Diophantus, Liddington, and Zuyder Zee. Imperieuse, Little Lady, Melissa, Chalice, Theodora, Eurydice, Canteen, and Fravola, the best of his daughters ; though several proved themselves most valuable as brood mares. Before age and overwork at the stud had begun to tell upon him, Orlando was a singularly elegant and handsome horse, with an unusual amount of quality. He died at Hampton Coui-t in December 1868. Principal Performances. 1843. Ascot : Second to Wetnurse. On the way to the FamoiiH Horses. 221 post, young John Day (riding Wetnurse), overheard Nat Fhitman (riding Orlando) propose to Sam Rogers (riding a filly of Lord Greorge Bentinck's) to hedge rides ; and John observed to Nat, " What's good for Sam must be good for me, so let me stand in as v^ell." " A very likely thing," said Nat, "your pigmy of a pony has no chance." "Never mind," retorted young John, " I can stay with you, though you are on such a grand one." Mr. Davis started them; but, at the word " Go," each stopped and looked at the others. " Mind, I've started you," observed Mr. Davis, and then left them. On they walked for over two hundred yards. "Are none of you going to take the lead?" said John ; "because, if not, I shall take it for you." Then Jem Robinson (riding Panther) chimed in with, " For goodness sake, John, canter or gallop ; otherwise ni}' horse will bolt." John, thus appealed to, led off at a slow canter; but, on nearing the brick-kilns, he gave his filly a taste of the spur, and stole fifty yards in a twinkling. Nat somewhat uj)set Orlando in his haste to follow her. Young John gave Wetnurse a gentle pull at the distance, when Orlando reached her girths ; and John, hearing the sound of Nat's whip, knew that he was driving the crack, so that he urged on his filly and just won by a head from Orlando. Newmarket : Won the July Stakes. Groodwood : Won the Ham Stakes. 1844. Newmarket: Won the Riddlesworth. Epsom : Won the Derby, the field including Ionian, Bay Momus, The Ugly Buck (winner of the Two Thousand), Ratan, and Loadstone. Running Rein came in first ; but was dis- qualified, after being proved to be not a bay colt by The Saddler — Mab, but a bay colt by Griadiator bred in 1840. Lord George Bentinck, knowing that the horse's legs had been dyed, set to work to discover where the dye was purchased ; and, being successful in his quest, the evidence gained in this way was of great assistance in pro\dng the fraud. It has been stated that Leander broke his leg in running, and was destroyed ; that his remains were dug up, his head cut off, and submitted to Mr. Field, who pronounced the jaw to be that of a four-year-old. 1840. Ascot: Fell lame in running for the Emperor of Russia's Plate, and was withdrawal from the Turf. Just before starting Orlando threw his rider, and broke his bridle. l',!i}ltlil hll J. F. Ilrnillfl. THE MERKT MONARCH. THE lYIERRY lYlONARCH, a bright bay son of Slane,— The Margravine by Little John (son of Eemembrancer), — a dau. of Phantom, — Sister to Election by Grohanna, was foaled in 184.2. Merry Monarch only ran once as a two-year-old, when he was unplaced for the Ham Stakes at Goodwood. Upon his next appearance in public he won the Derby of 1845, Idas starting favourite at 8 — 1 ; and the winner being absolutely without a price. Alarm broke away at the starting post and threw his rider ; but took part in the race though much injured. As they swept round Tattenham Corner, Mentor collided with Paris, knocking the latter off his feet. His rider, Butler, struggled to release himself from the frightened animal ; while, at the same moment, Old England and Weatherbit were almost on the top of him. Many closed their eyes through fear of an accident ; but, fortunately, both horses cleared the prostrate rider of Paris, and Frank Butler escaped wdth a shaking. Merry Monarch shot out at the Stand, winning cleverly by a length, Annandale second. Old England third. He ran twice more unsuccess- fully. ALARM, a bay son of Venison, — Southdown by Defence, — Feltona by X.Y.Z. (son of Haphazard), — Janetta by Beningborough, — a dau. of Drone Famof/.s Horses. '1'2'^ (son of Herod), — Contessiiia hy Young jNIarske, was foaled in ls4.'2. While at the post for the Derby of 1S45, The Libel, who was close to Alarm, suddenly reared u]) on his hind legs and jumped upon the back of Alarm, who instantly made a desperate plunge with his head down ; and, pulling Nat completely out of i\\e saddle, Hung him with great violence into the ditch. Alarm then made a jump at the chains, coming into contact with them with such force as to draw the post out of the ground and twist the chains round his body and hind legs. After kicking and plunging most violently he at length got free, and galloped oft" kicking his best. He was caught at the bottom of the hill, remounted, and ran the race ^\dth the rest ; but was found to be very much cut about the chest, legs, and hocks, and could not lie down for some time afterwards. Nat, too, was so much bruised that he had to keep his bed the following day. Newanarket : Won the Cambridgeshire easily. 1S4G. Newmarket: Won the Claret Stakes. Ascot : Won the Emperor of Eussia's Plate (given in lieu of the Cup), the field including Jericho, Wolf Hog, Orlando (who broke down), and The Baron.

New^market (8st. each) : Beat Sorella (winner of the One Thousand (luineas of 1844) in a match for 1000 sovs. over the Beacon Course. Jack Mytton is said to have given the terrible orders to " kill the horse, or the mare, or both." IDAS, a bay son of Liverpool, — Marpessa (dam of Pocahontas) by Muley, was bred by Lord Stradbroke in 184.'2. Standing close upon 1(5 hands, Idas was a rich 3'ellow bay with black legs, with an extraordinary stride, and especially docile temperament. Principal Performances. 1845. Newmiarket : Won the Two Thousand Gruineas very easily, Nat flourishing his whip in triumph as he passed the post. Walked over for the Newmarket Stakes. Ascot : Won the St. James' Palace Stakes.

Goodwood : Won the Nassau Stakes. Newmarket : Beaten by Jericho for the Newmarket St. Leger. SWEETMEAT, a bay son of Gladiator, — Lollipop by Starch (son of Waxy Pope) or Voltaire,^Belinda by Blacklock, — ^ Wagtail by Prime Minister, was foaled in 1842. "Sweetmeat was full of Blacklock blood, though he bore not the slightest trace of it. It has ever been a moot question whether his dam. Lollipop, w^as by Starch or Voltaire. Major Yarl:>urgh, the breeder and owner of Lollipop, always maintained that she was by Voltaire ; but, knowing the Major's wonderful partiality for this Fanio/is Norses. 225 blood, so well represented in his favourite Laurel, mig-lit not tlie wish, in Lollipop's case, have been father to the thought ? After Sweetmeat's fore- leg gave way, Mr. Cookson purchased him for 300, and sold him for 800 guineas. He was a very taking horse, but with no very great length or bone, was rather heavy in the shoulders, but possessed a beautiful head and neck. He was always a fitful getter of stock, as regarded size, though he seldom failed in giving them rare speed, and a dislike to distance. His colts, as a rule, were too big; Parmesan, however, was a notable exception; and, through him, the Sweetmeat blood has attained, among breeders, a degree of popularity equal to that of Defence. His fillies were as near perfection as possible, and three of them very nearly won the Oaks three years in succession. Marchioness intervening between Mincemeat and Mincepie. Comfit was, perhaps, the sweetest of all his daughters. Sweet- meat went suddenly blind after he went to Neasham Hall. The first eye went in a day, and the other followed suit ten days after. His daughter, the chestnut Nettle, had one of the grandest barrels ever seen, and here again the Blacklock blood crops up, as Wasp (Nettle's dam) was the grand-daughter of Bee-in-a-Bonnet by Blacklock." ("The Druid.") A straight outline of head, and well-shaped barrel marked the Sweetmeats. Princif)al Performances. 1844. Liverpool: Won the Stanley Stakes, beating Miss Elis. L845. Bath : Won the Somersetshire Stakes. Ascot : Won the Queen's Vase, beating The Libel in a canter. Doncaster : Won the Cup, beating Alice Hawthorn, Pantasa, and Miss Elis.

THE LIBEL, a dark brown son of Pantaloon, — Pasquinade (sister to Touchstone), was foaled in 1842 ; and in 1845 won the Chester St. Leger, beating Hope, Miss Elis, &c. ; the Ascot Trial Stakes, beating The Hero, Knight of the Whistle, &c. ; and ran second to Sweetmeat for the Gold Vase. J'aiiitiil 1,11 J / Jliiiti«i THE BARON. THE BARON (sire of Stockwell iind liataplan), a chestnut son of Irish Birdcatcher, — Echidna by Economist, — Miss Pratt by Blacklock, — Gadabout by Orville, — Minstrel by Sir Peter, — Matron by Fkirizel, was foaled in 184.2. Echidna was a plain, low, lengthy filly, possessed of the substance of a carthorse ; but had been tried to be useless for racing purposes. No better offer than " a tenner " could be obtained for her, so she was put to Irish Birdcatcher, and the result was The Baron, her first foal. From him descended Stockwell ; and from the latter, again, the best animals of the present day. Principal Performances. 1845. Won several stakes at the Curragh. Not placed for the Liverpool St. Leger. " John Scott was on the Stand with Lord Wilton, wdien he saw The Baron beaten. He was then as fat as a bull, and had bar shoes, and fearfully festered soles ; and had been made twice the savage he was by being muzzled. Still Scott fancied he had a St. Leger winner in him. So he was forthwith sent to Malton ; and a very rough, snappish, customer he was at first. . . . John Scott said The Baron required more work, and more careful management, than any horse he ever trained." (From " The Druid.") Doncaster : Won the Great St. Leger — fifteen FamoKs Horses. 227 runners, including ]\Iiss Sarah (second), Pantasa (third), Weatherbit, and Annandale. Within fifty yards of the inclosure Miss Sarah obtained a sHght lead ; but The Baron caught her at the Stand, and, passing her in the last dozen strides, won by a length. It was not an easy victory ; and it was the general opinion that too much use had been made of Miss Sarah, who had been kept going from end to end. Newmarket : Won the Cesarewitch. Upon retiring from the Turf, in 1840, The Baron was purchased by Mr. Theobald, and joined his stud at Stockwell ; but was subsequently sent to France. WEATHERBIT, a bay son of Sheet Anchor,— Miss Letty by Priam, was foaled in ISA'2. Principal Performances. 1845. Ascot: Beat Jericho, Eefraction, and Old England. Goodwood : Beat Annandale (second for the Derby), and Picnic (winner of the One Thousand). Weatherbit was sire of Beadsman, and grandsire of Eosicrucian, Blue Gown, Green Sleeves, The Palmer, Pero Gomez, &c. MISS ELIS, a chestnut dau. of Stockport (by Langar, — Olympia by Sir Oliver), — Yaria by Lottery, — a dau. of Blacklock, — a dau. of Cerberus, — Miss Cranfield by Sir Peter, was foaled in 184.'2. Principal Performances. 1845. AVon the Goodwood Stakes — twenty-two runners. Won the Goodwood Cup, beating Weatherbit, Discord, and St. Lawrence. 1846. Newmarket : Won the Queen's Plate for Mares only, beating Sorella (winner of the One Thousand Guineas of 1844). PIC-NIC, a bay dau. of Glaucus, — Estelle by Brutandorf, — a dau. of Juniper (son of Whiskey), — a dau. of Sorcerer, — Virgin by Sir Peter, was bred by the Duke of Pichmond in 1842 ; and won the One Thousand of 1845 with the greatest ease, after making all the running. j.^ 'g/r^~,.^' PuiiiU'd by J. f.

PYRRHUSTHEFI RST, a chestnut son of Ei^irus (by Langar),— Fortress by Defence, — Jewess Ijy Moses (son of Wlialebone), — Calendulie by Camerton (son of Hambletonian, — a dau. of Precipitate, — Magnolia the Younger by Pegasus, — Young Magnolia by Highflyer, — Magnolia by Marske), — Snowdrop by Highland Fling, was foaled in 1843. Principal Performances. 1840. Won the Newmarket Stakes. At the end of the first quarter of a mile, lago took the lead at a strong pace. Half-way up the cords Pyrrhus challenged ; and, after a magnificent race, in which both Sam Day and Frank Butler displayed grand horsemanship, lago was beaten by a bare half-length. Epsom : Won the Derby, beating Sir Tatton Sykes, who was almost left at the post, by a neck. Brocardo, Joinville, (Irimston, Fancy Boy, lago. Sting, Tom Tulloch, and Nannette colt were all within a length or two of the winner at the finish. Won several Queen's Plates, in one of which he beat Miami (winner of the Oaks of 1847). I AGO, a bay son of Don John, — Scandal by Selim, — a dau. of Haphazard, — a dau. of Precipitate, — Colibri by Woodpecker, was bred by Colonel Anson in 1843.

THE TRAVERSER, a bay son of Gilbert Gurney,— Pandora by Wrangler, — Miss Stephenson l^y Scud or Sorcerer, w^as foaled in 1843. Gilbert Gurney (sire of The Traverser) was a beautiful chestnut horse by Muley, — Miss Orville by Pendulum [son of Orville, — Momentilla by brother to Eepeater (by Trumpator)], — Misery by Camerton, — Tobinia by Toby, — Sister to Crassus Ijy Eclipse, — a dau. of Young Cade, — Miss Thigh by Eib, — Lady Thigh. Principal Performances of The Traverser. 1845. Doncaster : Beaten a length by Princess Alice for the Champagne Stakes, lago third. 1840. Doncaster: Won the Scarborough Stakes. 1847. Newmarket Craven : Beat Pyrrhus the First, in a match at even weights for 500 sovs. 2—1 on Pyrrhus, who made the running at a terrific pace to half-way up the cords, where The Traverser closed with him ; and, after a keen encounter, won by half-a-neck. lYIOWERINA, a bay dau. of Touchstone, — the celebrated Emma by Whisker, was bred by Mr. Bowes in 1843. Emma was dam, also, of Trustee by Catton (sent to A-^irginia in 1835), of Agnes by Blacklock, Miindig by Catton, Cotherstone by Touchstone &c. Mowerina herself was the dam of that renowned horse. West Australian, as well as of Old Orange Girl, Baragah, Westwick, &c. She died in 1804. It was from Alowerina that West Australian inherited his beautiful head and shoulders. BROCARDO (brother to Cinizelli), a brown son of Touchstone, — Brocade by Pantaloon, — Bombasine by Thunderbolt, — Delta by Alexander, was foaled in 1843, finished in the front rank for the Derby of 1840, and ran second to The Hero for the Doncaster Cup. Piiiiitfil hi/ Hari'ii Hall. CHANTICLEER. CHANTICLEER, a whitish-grey son of Irish Birdcatcher, — the grey Whim by Drone (son of Master Eobert, — a dau. of Sir Walter Raleigh (by Waxy, — Woodcot by Mentor (a son of Justice by Herod), — Macaria by Herod, — Titania by Shakespear, — Latham's Snap's dam by Cade, — a sister to Match'em's dam), — Miss Tooley by Teddy, — Kiss by Waxy Pope, — a dau. of Champion (by Pot-8-os), — Brown Fanny by Maximus, was foaled in Ireland in 1843, and brought to England in 1847. " Chanticleer," says "The Druid," "was a horse of strong constitution, but very bad temper, in fact a perfectly mad horse, when I'Anson first got hold of him. He was, however, at all times very savage ; and so furious was he on one occasion, that they were obliged to get the stable lad out of his box through the window. Sometimes he would roar like a bull ; and, when at Hambleton, Harry Stebbings said he would rather be off the moor when Chanticleer was on it." His great point was depth of girth, which measured in October, 1848, five feet seven inches and three- quarters round. He was a very free-goer, a capital stayer, and possessed of fine speed and unbounded courage, going equally well on hard or soft ground. Principal Performances. 1848. Won the Northumberland Plate and the Goodwood Stakes. Doncaster : Won the Cup, beating Famous Horses. 231 Ellerdale and Van Tromp. 1849. Ascot: Second to Van Tronip f(n' the Emperor of llussia's Plate, Cossack and Oolling-wood being also in the field. " The Druid," in " Scott and Sebright," observes—" If Nat (on Chanticleer) had waited to the Stand, instead of trying to take up the running soon after the last turn, Marlow never would have g'ot a pull, and \'an never could have answered so gamely to the whip as he did. Single-handed Chanticleer ought always to have got the Inst r/iu, and beaten him ; but there was hardly 31b. between them either way." Goodwood : Second for the Cup to Canezou. Tlie stock of Chanticleer were somewhat wanting in length and deficient in size. THE HERO, a chestnut son of Chesterfield (own brother to Crucifix by Priam), — Ifrace Darling by Defence, — a dau of Don Cossack, — Mistake by Waxy, — Woodcot by Mentor, was bred by Mr. John Day, of Danebury, in IS 43. The Hero was quiet when in front of his field, but very impatient when behind. He always ran best when big, and not over-trained. At three years old he was rather a shelly colt ; but, afterwards, thickened amazingly. On wet, heavy ground he could not move at all. His stock ran small, and Rogerthorj^e was the best of them. Principal Performances. 1846. Won the Doncaster Cup, beating Brocardo. 1847. Ascot : Won the Queen's Vase, beating Bridle and Jericho ; and the Emperor of Russia's Plate, beating Wolf Dog, Jericho, Sting, Mendicant, Po}Titon, and Sir Tatton Sykes. Hero, as usual, jumped off with the lead, and at great speed, the rest toiling after him in vain. Down the Swinley Hill and round the Limekilns they swept, at the same terrific pace. At the last turn, all were dead beaten except Wolf Dog, who raced with The Hero for a time, but nearing home the gallant little chestnut put on a strong spurt and won easily. Groodwood : Won the Cup, beating Eryx, Halo, Wolf Dog, and Sting. 1848. Ascot : Won the Emperor's Purse. 1849. York (9st. 41b.): Won the Grreat Ebor Handicap. The Hero also won sixteen Queen's Plates. li:'ht he never would be able to catch the leaders ; but he did, and won. His back power was quite astounding ; and, when he threw up his heels, no boy could sit him. Eataplan's finest performance on the Turf was his winning the Manchester Cup under Ust. 81b. Bar J^anercost and Springy Jack, there never was a more lazy colt foaled than Kata])lan. He would lie down at full length while they plaited his mane ; and, after feeding, \\'ould go to sleep with unerring I'egularity. He generally managed to stumble about twelve times between his box and the downs, and it was never safe to take him out without knee-caps." (From "The Druid.") Principal Performances. Famon-s Ilor-se-s. :2V)'S 185.2. Eataplan ran very indifferently as a two-year-old. 1853. Fourth for the Derby won by West Australian. Ascot : Won the Queen's Vase. Third for the St. Leger to West Australian. 1854. Epsom: Beaten a head by Kingston for the Cup. Manchester : AYon the Cup. Ascot : Third to West Australian and Kingston for the Cup. This was considei-ed the fastest race on record for the Ascot Cuj^. 1855. Won the Doncaster Cup, beating Ellermire. During his career Rataplan won upwards of forty races. iVIENTIYlORE LASS, abay dau. of Melbourne,— Emerald by Defence ,— Emiliana by Emilius, was bred by Baron Rothschild in 1850. The racing stud of the Rothschilds may be said to have been founded by the purchase of the mare Emerald. Baron Meyer de Rothschild won an emerald in a lottery ; and, disposing of it for .240/., invested this sum in the purchase of the dauo'hter of Defence, whom he named Emerald, and she became the dam of King of Diamonds and Mentmore Lass. Mentmore Lass did not run as a two-year-old ; but, upon her first appearance in public, she won the One Thousand Guineas of 1853 by two lengths. Her subsequent running, however, was but of an indifferent character. Mentmore Lass was the dam of Hannah by King Tom. SITTINGBOURNE, a chestnut son of Chatham (by The Colonel),— The Landgravine by Elis, was bred by Mr. Clratwicke in 1850. Principal Performances. 185.2. York: Won the Convivial Stakes. Newmarket: Won the Prendergast. 1853. Beaten half-a-length by West Australian for the Two Thousand Guineas. Beaten a neck by West Australian for the Derby ; Cineas third, beaten a head ; Rataplan foui-th, half-a-length awa}', the field also including Orestes, Filbert, Lmbriel, Pharos, Brocket, Ethelbert, Barbatus, and Vanderdecken. Goodwood : Won the Gratwicke Stakes. Doncaster : L^nplaced for the St. Leger w^on by West Australian. Second to Balrownie for the Doncaster Stakes. Newmarket : Won the Triennial Produce Stakes, the field including Filbei-t and Catherine Hayes. 1854. Newmarket: Beaten a length by Orestes for the Poi-t Stakes. l^ainted bv JIanii JIall. KNIGHT OF ST. GEORGE. KNIGHT OF ST. GEORGE, a bay son of Irish Birdcatclier — a dau. of Hetman Platoff, — Waterwitcli l)y Sir Hercules, — Mary Anne by Waxy Pope, — Witcli by Sorcerer, — Sophia by Highflyer, — Catherine by Young Marske, — Gentle Kitty by Silvio, was bred in Ireland in 1851. " Knight of St. George was just fifteen hands high when he won the St. Leger ; but he grew into a fine horse afterwards, and left a most beautiful and enlarged likeness of himself in his son, Knight of St. Patrick." There never was a more difficult horse to ride than Knight of St. George. In his races he was a most uncertain runner, though his capabilities were unquestionable. He required a deal of humouring to induce him to show what he could do, whip and spur being unavailing. When he was brought to Hambleton, in November, 1853, he was savage and intractable. Basham took him in hand for the winter, and gradually by gentle treatment brought him more under control. In the St. Leger Basham rode him with consummate tact and judgment. His Derby trial, with Kingston and Eulogist, was highly satisfactory, and he won it in fine racing style ; but, in another essay wdth Kingston, he cut his boot clean off, penetrating the flesh, and was thus baulked of his chance for the Derby. Principal Performances. 1854. Epsom: Not Fah/oif-8 Horses. 265 placed in the Derby won by Andover. Uoncaster : Won the Great St. Leger by a head, the field including Ivan (second), Arthur Wellesley (thii-d), Sc^ythian and Boiardo. 0 — 4 against Boiardo, 11 — 1 against Knight of St. George. ANDOVER, a bay son of Bay Middleton, — Sister to ^gis by Defence, — Soldier's Joy by The Colonel, — Galatea by Amadis, was foaled in 1851. Principal Performances. 1853. Goodwood: Won the Molecomb Stakes, beating ^Mincemeat, The Caliph, Amos, and Strutaway. 1854. Epsom: Won the Derby by a length, the field including King Tom (second), Hermit (winner of the Two Thousand Guineas), Hospodar, Autocrat, Knight of St. George, Champagne (winner of the Champagne Stakes at Doncaster), Marsyas, and Dervish (the favourite). Stockbridge (101b. extra) : Won the Triennial, beating Ivan. Doncaster : Won the Don Stakes, beating Hospodar by a neck. This was Andover's last race. lYllNCEIYlEAT, a brown dau. of Sweetmeat, — Hybla by The Provost,— Otisina (sister to Lanercost) by Liverpool, was foaled in 1851. Principal Performances. 1853. Newmarket: Won the Bedford Stakes. 1854. Ej^som : Won the Oaks by two lengths, the field including Meteora (second). Bribery (dam of St. Albans and Savernake), Sortie, and Honey- suckle (sister to Newminster). 6 — 4 on Meteora, 10 — 1 Mincemeat, who was now sold to Baron Eothschild ; and retired to the stud at the close of the season. HERMIT, a browm son of Bay Middleton, — Jenny Lind by Touchstone, — Malibran by Whisker, — Garcia by Octavian, w^as foaled in 1851. Principal Performances. 1853. Not having run as a two-year-old, Hermit upon his first appearance in public, in 1854, won the Two Thousand Guineas by half-a-length, Middlesex second. Ruby third. Epsom: Third for the Derby to Andover and King Tom, Hermit being beaten less than a length from the winner. Ascot : Won the Gold Yase, beating Eataplan by a length and a half. Uraini bii J.

KING TOIYI, a liglit-fleslied bay son of Harkaway, — Pocahontas (dam of Stockwell, Rataplan, Ayaconora, Knight of Kars, Knight of St. Patrick, Araucaria, e^'c), by Glencoe, was foaled in 1851, and purchased by Baron llothsehild for .:2()00/. King Tom was a fine-tempered horse, speedy, and yet a good stayer. Like his sire, he was somewhat high on the leg ; l)ut in his appearance exhibited very considerable character. Principal Performances. 1854. Prior to the Derby, King Tom had the misfortune to injure his hock, necessitating, to some extent, a stoppage in his work. Nevertheless he made a fair fight for it with Andover, the field also including Hermit, Knight of St. George, Neville, Hospodar, and Marsyas. King Tom did not run again during this season. 1855. Newmarket : King Tom was amongst the starters for the Cesarewitch ; but his leg gave way early in the race ; and no attempt was made to bring him to the post again after this. His stock, as a rule, were overgrown, loosely made, and ungainly as two-year-olds, in addition to FaiHOKs Hor.scs. 207 being rather delicate of constitution and uncertain in temperament Amongst tliem may be enumerated Kingcraft (winner of the Derby), Hannah (winner of the One Thousand, Oaks, and Leger), Hippia and Tormentor (winners of the Oaks), King Alfred, llestitution, King Lud, and Corisande ; most of them good sound, honest animals, and endowed with the wonderful staying ^^owers and endurance of their renowned grandsire Harkaway. King Tom was essentially a " filly getter " ; and, though Hannah came from a Melbourne source, Hippia from a Sultan Mare, Tormentor from a daughter of Alarm, and Tomato from a Sweetmeat mare, his two best colts, Kingcraft and King Lud, were both out of Yoltigeur mares. Other successful alliances were with daughters of Defence, The Cure, Bay Middleton, Kingston, Newminster, Orlando, Pantaloon, and Slane. Further, from King Tom mares have descended Winslow, Favonius, The Rake, and Kaiser. The young King Toms were mostly bays or chestnuts ; and his fillies were more compact and endowed with greater muscular power than his colts. VIRAGO, a great raking chestnut dan. of Pyrrhus the First, — Virginia by Rowton, — Pucelle by Muley, was foaled in 1S51. Mr. Stephenson, her breeder, insisted on Virago going to the hammer as a yearling. John Scott fancied her greatly and bid up to 340 guineas, when Mr. Padwick added ten and secured her. She was tried when a two-year- old with Little Harry (then four years old), receiving only 71b. William Day rode Virago, and was so pleased with her that he offered 2 ()()()/. for her on the ground, which offer was increased to 3()()()/. when they got into the house ; but Mr. Padwick would not sell. After the Doncaster Meeting, in LS54, she turned roarer, and was so changed that the little St. Hubert (a son of Surplice) beat her at something under weight for age in a spin at home. Principal Performances. 1854. Newmarket : Won the One Thousand Guineas, beating Meteora and Honeysuckle. Epsom : Won both the City and Suburban and Great Metropolitan Handicaps*. York : Won the Great Northern and Flying Dutchman's Handicap. Goodwood : Won the Cupf and the Nassau Stakes. York : Won the Yorkshire Oaks. Warwick : Won the Cup, beating Kingstcm, Cobnut, and Mincemeat (winner of the Oaks). Doncaster (71b. extra) : Won the Cup, beating Kingston easily. LS55. Newmarket: AVon the Poi-t Stakes. Ascot : Carried 9st. 71b. into fourth place for the Eoyal Hunt Cup. Virago broke down shortly after this, and was relegated to the stud. * Wliicli at tins time were run on tlie same day t West Australian Avas sent to Goodwood ; l)ut it was thought best not to oppose Yirago. i',uiu,a I'll JLiiiii Jill, WILD DAYRELL. WILD DAYRELL, a rich brown sun of Ion,— Ellen Middleton by Bay Middleton, — Myrrha by Malek (brother to Velocipede), — Bessy by Young Grouty (son of Grouty), — Grrandillora by Sir Harry Dimsdale (son of Sir Peter), — a dau. of Pipator, — a dau. of Young Marske, — Pyrrlia by Match'em, was foaled in 1S52. AVild Dayrell stood over sixteen hands, with length, strength, and symmetry to match. With the exception of Lady Flora, Mr. Popham (the breeder of Wild Dayrell) never in his life possessed a thoroughbred mare until, upon the advice of his groom, who had a very high opinion of the Bay Middleton and Myrrha blood, he purchased Ellen Middleton in 1850 for 50/., without even ever having seen her. Grrandiflora (the great grand-dam of Wild Dayrell) was never trained for racing. Having been turned out upon a moor upon which was a miscellaneous collection of yearlings, two-year-olds, and ponies, together with a stallion named Young (xouty, she was, when taken up again, discovered to be in foal. Although it was difficult to decide to whom the foal really belonged, the honour was eventually assigned to Young (xouty, and the foal was named Bessy. Wild Dayrell left to Buccaneer and The Rake (whose paternity, however, was questioned) Famom Horses. 269 the honour of perpetuating a strain of blood which, if not the stoutest, was at any rate a vahiable variety, which we coukl ill afford to lose. Most of Wild Dayrell's stock could race ; and several two-year-olds at one time promised to make him a sire of fashion ; but the transition from two to three years old was fatal to this expectation. A mouse - brown colt, with a handsome head and rather hio-h on the leg-, mio-ht safely be set down as a Wild Dayrell, and several of his stock, notably Wild Charley, showed a deal of quality. The Eake, however, was quite of another mould, and partook more of the character of the Birdcatcher family. Wild Dap-ell was the sire of Buccaneer, The Eake, Wild Charley, Avalanche, Horror, Hurricane, Wild Agnes, Wild Oats, Wild Moor, iSrc. From his son Buccaneer descended Formosa, Brigantine, Paul Jones, See-Saw, and Kisber. Buccaneer, unfortunately, was banished to Hungary', before his success as a sire could be fairly tested ; but this was sufficiently established before his son Kisl^er won the Derby of 1S76. The Eake, Wild (3ats, and others of Wild Dap-ell's stock went altogether wrong. Principal Performances of Wild Dayrell. 1855. Epsom: Won the Derby by two lengths, the field including Kingstown (second) and Lord of the Isles (winner of the Two Thousand Gruineas). York: Won the Ebor St. Leger, beating Oulston (winner this year of the Biennial at Bath, the Queen's Yase at Ascot, the Stewards' Cup at Stockbridge, and the Drawing-Eoom Stakes at Groodwood). Doncaster : Broke down in running for the Cup. The Baihj Telegrapli of March 13th, 1SS6, thus refers to Wild Dayrell: "At first sight he seemed light below the knee ; but, on measuring his fore-legs, they were found to be full of bone. He died at Littlecote Park in Xovember, 1870. In the morning of the day on which he died, Thomas Hodgson, who had succeeded Eickaby as stud groom at Littlecote, entered Wild Dap-ell's box, and found him perfectly well. He had emptied his manger to the last oat, and nothing indicated his approaching dissolution. When, however, Hodgson visited him again in the middle of the day, the great horse lay dead in his box. It was the opinion of the vet. at Hungerford, that apoplexy was the cause of his death." Had Wild Dapell not died prematurely, his fame as a sire would doubtless have equalled, or nearly so, that of Touchstone, Newminster, and Stock well. I'lniifi'd hij J 1,1 rill lldV. MARCHIONESS. MARCHIONESS, a bay dau. of Melbourne,— Cinizelli by Touchstone, — Brocade by Pantaloon (son of Castrel), — Bombasina by Thunderbolt (son of Sorcerer), — ^ Delta by Alexander (son of Eclipse), — -Isis by Sir Peter, — Ibis by Woodpecker, — Isabella by Eclipse, — a dau. of Squirrel (by Old Traveller), — Ancaster Nancy by Blank, was bred by the Hon. S. Hawke in 185.2 ; and won the Oaks of 1855, beating Blooming Heather by half-a-length, the field also including Capucine, Clotilde, Chalice (winner of the Iliddlesworth Stakes, the Ascot Boyal Hunt Cup, and the Poyal Stakes at Newmarket), and Nettle (the favourite). In the race Nettle bolted and fell over the chains, Marlow's leg being broken. Marchioness was unplaced for the St. Leger won by Saucebox. LORD OF THE ISLES, a bay son of Touchstone,— Fair Helen by Pantaloon, was foaled in 1852. Principal Performances. 1854. Grood- wood : Won the Lavant Stakes, beating Paradigm a head. Won the " Grreat North and South of England Biennial," beating Clotilde (in receipt of 91b., by a head), with Ellermire also in the field. 1855. Won the Two Thousand Guineas. Mr. James Merry, the owner of Lord of the Isles, was very capricious in his treatment of the jockeys who rode FautoHs Hordes. 271 for him. Jem Goator luul been engaged some time previously to ride Lord of the Isles in the Two Thousand Gruineas. Having weighed out, he proceeded to assist in saddling the horse, as jockeys frequently did at that time. Just as he was leaving the weighing room, he encountered Mr. Merry, who abruptly said to him — " Take those colours of mine off ; Aldcroft will ride my horse." Groater went white as death, but did not reply. Turning back, he took off the colours, and handed them over to Tom Aldcroft, who had barely time to go in and weigh. Aldcroft and " Brusher " Wells (on St. Hubert) made between them the whole of the running. In the Abingdon Mile bottom. Lord of the Isles reached the girths of St. Hubert ; and, at the commencement of the cords, he got on terms. About half-way up the hill the yellow jacket and black cap was a good half-length in advance of St. Hubert, upon whom Wells now called upon for an effort, and a slashing struggle ensued. Lord of the Isles winning by a neck, after a desperate finish, both horses pulling up dreadfully tired. Kingstown, three lengths away, was third. Lord of the Isles was very much spurred, and Aldcroft had actually broken his whip over him. This was the first appearance in public of St. Hubert, who was a bright bay, and stood about 15.. 2. His shoulders were splendid ; and his action magnificent in the extreme. He was in fact about the handsomest horse in training at the time. After the race high words ensued between Mr. Padwick, the owner of St. Hubert, and his trainer, " honest John Lay," who had given Wells orders to " come along all the way," knowing full well that St. Hubert had great speed, but could only just get a mile. How good the latter really was, the j)iiblic unfortunately never knew, as he only ran once more, when he broke down in the race for the City and Suburban of 1856. Lord of the Isles was third for the Derby to Wild Dayrell and Kingstown. HABENA, a chestnut dau. of Irish Birdcatcher, — Bridle by The Saddler, — Monoeda by Taurus, — Mona by Partisan, — Miltonia by Patriot, — Miss Muston by King Fergus, was foaled in 1852. Principal Performances. 1854. Newmarket: Won the Bretby Stakes, and two or three other races. 1855. Newmarket: Won the Bennington Stakes, and the Column Stakes. Won the One Thousand Gruineas very cleverly by three-quarters of a length, a splendid struggle for second money ending in the head defeat of Clotilde by Capucine. Won the Newmarket St. Leger.

FANDANGO, a bay son of Barnton (own brother to Yoltigeur), — Castanette by Don John, — a dau. of Ishmael, — Misnomer by Merlin (son of Castrel), — a dau. of Phantom, — a dau. of Pericles, — Mary by Sir Peter, — a dau. of Diomed, — Desdemona by Old Marske, — Young Hag by Skim, was bred by the Earl of Zetland in 1852. " The Druid," in discoursing on the blood of Blacklock, through its four perpetuators — Buzzard, Brutan- dorf, Voltaire, and Velocij^ede — remarks that, — " No blood in the Stud Book is better winded or runs better when full of flesh. Their aptitude for a distance displays itself in a very muscular neck, without which ver}" few horses ever yet stayed ; and they have also great depth from the withers to the shoulder points ; and an immense roundness of rib in making the curve from the spine. " Voltigeur and Fandango had all these characteristics. Barnton w^as, like Melbourne, a coarse-headed, lengthy, rough style of horse. He was deep in the rib, and rather narrow ; whereas Voltigeur had more of the Blacklock roundness of rib. " Fandango's action was very sweeping and workmanlike ; and we never saw him look and steal along quite so well as when he ran second to One Act at 521b. for the Grreat Northern Handicap."

So little expectation had Mr. Snewing (the owner of Caractacus) of winning the Derby, that he did not even go to Epsom to see the race ; and the colt was ridden by the stable lad. Parsons, the horse and boy being very fond of each other. During the race Parsons continually encouraged his mount by stroking him and talking to him. THE lYIARQUIS, a bay son of Stockwell, — Cinizelli by Touchstone, was foaled in 1859. Principal Performances. 1861. Won the Doncaster Champagne Stakes, the Prendergast Stakes, and three other races, these being the only times of his running this year. 1802. Won the Two Thousand Guineas by half-a-length, Caterer (second), and Knowsley (third), all sons of Stockwell As The Marquis often showed temper at the jDost, Scott thought it advisable for a boy to hold his head until FamoNs Horses. 297 the flag fell. Upon the boy letting go the magnificent bay, he shouted, " He's won now ! " such a favourite was tlie animal with all in the stable. The Marquis being a lazy horse was sent to the front, and waited there until the hill was reached, when he came out, winning easily by half-a- length. Second to Caractacus for the Derby. Won the Great St. Leger, beating Buckstone by a head. The Marquis was sent to Russia in 1863. BUCKSTONE, a bay son of Voltigeur, — Burlesque by Touchstone, was foaled in 1659. Buckstone was not in his prime until his four-year-old season. Tim Whiffler gave him 71b. in the Doncaster Cup of 1802, and galloped him down. When they met at Ascot the following year, a dead- lieat was the I'esult. In the decider, Tim seemed to fly over the turf ; but, at the Stand, Buckstone collared him and won, beating West Australian's time. The pace was terrific. Principal Performances. 1861. Ascot: Won the Queen's Stand Plate. Second for the New Stakes. Stockbridge : Second for the Biennial. 1862. Epsom: Third for the Derby to Caractacus and The Marquis. The betting as regards The Marquis and Buckstone was very heavy ; but the latter did not like the Epsom course. His trainer was sanguine he would turn the tables at Doncaster; but The Marcj^uis just beat him by a head. 1863. Ascot: Won the Gold Cup, after a dead-heat with Tim WhifHer. FEU DE JO IE, a chestnut dau. of Longbow (by Ithuriel), — Jeu d'Esprit by Flatcatcher, — Extempore by Emilius, was bred by P. C. Naylor, Esq., of Hooton Hall, Cheshire, in 1859.

Unplaced for the St. Leger won by The Marquis. Beaten a head by Imperatrice for the Park Hill Stakes. Beat Feu de Joie by four lengths in a match at even weights over the last mile and a half of B.C. Old Hurricane lived until 1892. I'iniiUil hii llanii Uitll MACARONI. MACARONI, ;i dark bay son of Sweetmeat, — Jocose by Pantaloon (son of Castrel), — Banter by Master Henry, was bred by the Marquis of Westminster in 1800. Macaroni stood fifteen hands three inches high, was of a most docile disposition, and a splendid stayer. Although Carnival could give him 71b. over a mile, at any time during their three - year-old career ; at a mile and a half, or any distance beyond, Macaroni could give the same weight to Carnival and beat him easily. The only time Macaroni ran as a two-year-old he was beaten by Automaton, owing, it is said, to his having run to the end of the Beacon Course while at exercise in the morning. The best points of Macaroni were his fine sloping shoulders and great depth of girth. His neck was very thick and muscular, indeed, amounting almost to a deformity. His defects were his upright pasterns and length of cannon bone ; but his action was exceedingly fine and free. It was a matter of general regret that Macaroni and Lord Clifden did not meet in the St. Leger, for w^hich, most unfortunately, the former was not entered. Principal Performances. 1863. Won the Two Thousand Gruineas by a length, the field including Saccharometer (second). King of the Vale (third), Eapid Ehone, Hospodar (winner of the ClearweU and Criterion), and Blue Mantle FamoK-'^ Horses. 299 (winner of the New Stakes). Won the Derby by a head from Lord Clifden, the fiekl also inchiding- Ixapid Rhone (third), The Ranger (winner of the Grand Prix de Paris), Saccharometer, Pkie Mantle, King of the Vale, Hospodar, and Tom Fool, upon whom Mr. Brayley, his owner, stood to win 101), ()()()/. The horse, however, was struck into during the race. This was one of the wettest l)erl)ys on record. Tambour Major caused such a delay at the start that many of the runners were tired before the flag fell. There were plenty of them " in it " at the distance ; but Blue Mantle declined to try a yard further, and Papid Phone " shutting up " at the Bell, the race was left to Lord Clifden and Macaroni, the latter just winning by a head. It was said by some that Fordham (on Lord Clifden) lost the race through looking round when they reached the Bell. Doncaster : Won the (lold Cup, practically on three legs, beating Queen Bertha (winner of the Oaks) l)y a length, the held also including Blue Mantle and Papid Phone. Macaroni was purchased in 1875 for 7100 guineas, for the Baroness Meyer de Rothschild, and located at Mentmore where he reigned supreme. QUEEN BERTHA, a bay dau. of Kingston, — Flax by Surplice, — Odessa by Sultan, — Sister to Cobweb by Phantom, was bred by Lord Falmouth in 1860. Principal Performances. 180.2. Ran indifferently until, at Newmarket Houghton, she beat Blue Mantle by eight lengths. 18 03. Won the Oaks, beating Marigold (dam of Doncaster) by a head, with Vivid third, beaten a head only from Marigold, the held also including Isoline (winner of the Manchester and G-oodwood Cups) fourth. Old Orange Girl, Lady Augusta (winner of the One Thousand Guineas), and Borealis ; the latter being favourite at 5 — 2, with 40 — 1 offered against Queen Bertha. Doncaster : Second to Lord Clifden for the St. Leger, with Borealis, The Ranger, and Blue Mantle also in the held. Second to Macaroni for the Doncaster Cup, the held also including Rapid Rhone and Blue Mantle. Queen Bertha was the dam of Lord Falmouth's flying Ally, Wheel of Fortune by Adventurer.

LORD CLIFDEN, a bay son of Newminster, — The Slave by Melbourne, — V'olley by A^oltaire, — IMartlia Lynn by Mulatto, was foaled in LSGO ; and sold to Lord St. Vincent, in 1SG.2, for about 6500/. Lord Clifden was a deejD bay with black points ; and stood nearly 16-| hands, covering a deal of ground. He was by far the biggest and hardiest of all the sons of Newminster, while his temper was absolutely perfection. Lord Clifden showed more of the character of Melbourne than the beautiful quality of Newminster, and was best suited by a flat course, on which his enormous stride told to the utmost advantage, while his long back and weak loins were unsuited to a hill. Principal Performances. LS62. Lord Clifden was very highly tried as a two-year- old ; and, at Epsom, won the Woodcote Stakes in a canter. At Doncaster, after being practically left at the post, he won the Champagne Stakes just as easily ; and also won a Sweepstake in which he presented Queen Bertha with 101b. 1803. Beaten a head by Macaroni for the Derby, the field also including Eapid Ehone, The Eanger, Saccharometer, Blue Mantle, and Hospodar. Lord Clifden had slipped up and injured himself previously to the Derby ; and was, consequently, not quite wound up. This was not generally known, his place on the training grounds having been filled, during his absence, by the Irish horse, Bellman, who Famous TTorstc'^. 801 oTcatU' resembled liim. His condition caused him to falter in the last few strides ; and gave the victory to a o-ood horse, but probably hardly so good a one as Lord Clifden was when at his best. The preparation of Lord Clifden for the St. Leger was a very severe one ; and he went to Doncaster without being tried, the confidence of Lord St. Vincent being unbounded. The going was good, and the race a most sensational one. At the Red House, Lord Clifden, who had been practically left at the post, was fully fifty lengths in the rear, and 50 — 1 was vainly oifered against him. John Osborne, however, in the most wonderful manner, brought him through, winning easily by half-a-length from Queen Bertha, Borealis being third, with The Ranger and Blue Mantle also in the field. Lord Clifden also won the Doncaster Stakes, giving lOlb. to Borealis, who was very little bigger than a pony. The elegant Petrarch was the best son of Lord Clifden ; and Winslow, perhaps, was the handsomest, but did not stay so well as his sire ; while Hawthornden was shorter and with less liberty about him. We must not, however, forget Hampton, who proved such a great success both on the Turf and at the stud. Lord Clif den's death in 1875 was justly regarded as a national loss, as lie was uncpiestionably one of the grandest ornaments of the English stud. CARNIVAL, a deep rich brown, and particularly docile and generous son of Sweetmeat, — Volatile by Buckthorn, — Jocose (the dam of Macaroni) by Pantaloon, was bred by the Marquis of Westminster in 1860. Although so closely related, Macaroni and Carnival were strangely dissimilar in every respect. Each promised well, Carnival being con- sidered the most speedy ; and, on that account, was the more deeply engaged. Tom Chaloner, who rode him in each of his races, always spoke of Carnival as a horse of great courage. He had more length and racing-like quality than Macaroni, though without the depth of girth or substance of the latter. After winning his first three races in the easiest possible manner, his leg gave way in the Cambridgeshire of 1863; and he was sold and shipped to Hungary in 1867; but some years afterwards he was brought back again to England. In accordance with the general foreign practice, he had, while in Hungary, been kept in idleness and without exercise, and his feet had been so neglected as to have grown to resemble exaggerated oyster shells ; but this was soon set right. In his first season he had eight winners out of fourteen foals. SiB^a^^^l^liWSiWW I'liintid I'll J/arrij Hall. BLAIB ATHOL. BLAIR ATHOL, u Lriglit chestnut son of Stockwell,— Blink Bonny by Mell)onrne, was bred by Mr. Wm. I'Anson in 1801. "His first Malton trial," says " The Druid," was at even M^eights with Borealis (who was a year older), and he beat her by two lengths. Mr. I'Anson then tried him to give her 71b. ; but, as he ran out at the turn, Chaloner, on the mare, beat him by a head. Owing to an injur}' to the muscles of his thigh, about ten weeks before the Derby, he did not go out of a walk for the first five weeks after it. In the Grrand Prix he ran big ; and yet, sore as he was with the hard ground there, he crossed the Channel to Ascot, and cut down Ely on the Friday over the New Mile. Caller Ou and Borealis generally led him in his gallops, and a hard time they had of it. Mr. lAnson never knew how good he was ; but was wont to say that he never had a horse with such true action, as even in distress he never rolled or rocked." ..." And now, gentlemen, what shall I say for the best horse in the world?" were Mr. Tattersall's w^ords, when the mighty blaze-faced chestnut came striding into the ring at Middle Park, casting one contemptuous glance around, and then neighing a bold defiance to all nations. When the hammer fell with a decisive ' Gone/ a burst of Famous Horses. 30.S cheering broke from the crowded ring, and Blair Athol was withdrawn from its admiring gaze, leaving the sum of 12,500 guineas to be paid for his transfer to other hands." Principal Performances. 18(54. Upon his first appearance in public, Blair Athol won the Derby by two lengths from General Peel (winner of the Two Thousand Guineas), the field also including Scottish Chief, Cambuscan, and Ely. Paris : Second to Vermont for the Grand Prix. Doncaster : Won the St. Leger by two lengths from General Peel, with Cambuscan and Ely also in the field. This was Blair Athol's last appearance on the Turf. It is a matter for regret that he did not aspire to C\ip honours, either at Ascot, where he could again have tried conclusions with Scottish Chief ; or, at Doncaster, where he would have met General Peel. Blair Athol was credited with a large number of winners ; but their stamina was not equal to their speed. He was sire of Silvio (winner of the Derby), Prince Charlie (the " Prince of the T.Y.C."), Ecossais (the "Flying Scotchman"), Andred, Glen- almond, Ethus, Cecilia, Scottish Queen, ko.. GENERAL PEEL, a bay son of Young Melbourne (by Melbourne),— a dan. of Orlando, — Brown Bess by Camel, — a dau. of Brutandorf, — Mrs. Cruickshanks by Welbeck, — Tramp's dam by Gohanna, was foaled in ISfil.

GLADIATEUR, a bay son of Monarque (by the Emperor — Poetess), — Miss Gladiator by (iladiator, — Taffrail by Sheet Anchor, — The Warwick Mare by Merman (son of Whalebone), — a dau. of Ardrossan, — Shepherdess by Shuttle, — a dau. of Buzzard, — Ann of the Forest by King Fergus, — Miss West by Match'em, was bred by Count Lagrange in 1862. Poetess (the dam of Monarque) won the French Derby of 1841. She was sold at a provincial fair for four pounds, owing to her extremely crooked hind legs. While tethered in a paddock at Chantilly some mischievous boys drove her round and round, until, becoming entangled in the rope, she fell and broke her neck. Monarque won the French Derby of 1855, and the Goodwood Cup. Gladiateur was a rough -looking, angular, horse, without any quality ; but, amongst his Derby competitors, he stood out like a giant in the midst of pigmies ; and, as " The Druid " remarks, " with his flying mane and hairy heels, he towTred above them all like a king." After the breaking out of the Franco-Prussian war in 1870, the entire stud of Count Lagrange was sold off. Gladiateur was a total failure at the stud. Some of his earliest yearlings, owing to the prestige of their sire, fetched high prices ; but they soon fell to pieces, and showed no sign of recovery. Principal Performances. 1864. Newmarket : Won Famous Horses. 305 the Olearvvell. 1805. Newmarket : Won the Two Thousand Gumeas. At the Bushes Hill, a sheet would have covered the lot, Zambezi leading; but, on entering the cords, Grladiateur, Archimedes, and Liddington joined issue, the four running a magnificent race home, Gladiateur winning in the last stride by a neck, the same distance between Archimedes and Liddington, Avith Zambezi beaten only a head from tlie latter. Epsom : Won the Derby ; Rounding Tattenham Corner, Gladiateur came outside all his horses, lengths wide of everything, finally winning in a canter, the field including Christmas Carol (second), Eltliam (third), Breadalbane, and Archimedes. Paris : Won the Grand Prix in a canter. Doncaster : Won the St. Leger by three lengths from Regalia (winner of the Oaks), with Archimedes, The Duke, Zambezi, and Breadalbane also in the field.

LORD LYON, a dark bay son of Stockwell, — Paradigm by Paragone (son of Touchstone), — Ellen Home by Pedshank, — Delhi by Pleni- potentiary,^— Pawn Junior by Waxy, was bred by General Pearson in 1863. Ellen Home, the dam of Paradigm, grand-dam of Lord Lyon, Achievement and Bend Or; great grand-dam of Placida, Jannette, Minting, Orvieto and Ormonde ; and great great grand-dam of Orme and Ladas, was purchased by General Pearson for the bagatelle of 18 guineas, with the idea of making her a hack for his wife. As a yearling. Lord Lyon was tried to be some two lengths behind Pustic, then in the same stable, but who was sold during the winter to the Duke of Beaufort for 5000 guineas. Custance, in his " Piding Recollections, " says — " As a three- year-old Lord Lyon stood 15.3, with good bone, short pasterns, and flat feet. He w^as a very nice horse to ride, free enough, though not a puller, and a very game colt on his own course, but not quite a stayer." Principal Performances. 18G5. Lr August, Lord Lyon, in a trial, beat Gardevisure in a canter at 101b. for the year, the latter afterwards winning the Cambridgeshire, for which race, it is said, the Ilsley people would have preferred to have run the two-year-old at the same w^eight. Doncaster : Kan a dead-heat with Redan for the Champagne Stakes, with Strathconan FanioKS Horses. ' 307 and Vespasian also in the field. Newmarket : Won the Troj Stakes and the Criterion Stakes. 18(){). Newmarket : Won the Two Thousand Gruineas by a length from Monarch of the Glen, with Knight of the Crescent and Student also in the field. EpsDm : Won the Derby. So strong was Savernake going at the distance, that he seemed to have both Lord Lyon and Rustic beaten. Half-way up, however, Custance called vigorously on Lord Lyon, wdio caught Savernake at the Stand, and just won in the very last .sfrldc, Rustic beaten three lengths, with Vespasian, Blue Riband, Strathconan, and Knight of the Crescent also in the field. Doncaster : Won the St. Leger. At the distance, Savernake, who had been shut in, and had to come round his horses, challenged Lord Lyon, the two racing home closely locked together. Lord Lyon winning by the shortest of heads. One yard further and Savernake must have won. The field also inchided Knight of the Crescent (third) and Strathconan. Newmarket : Won the Grand Duke Michael Stakes, and the Select Stakes ; and beat Rustic in a match D.T. at even weights for 1000 so vs. 1807. Won the Ascot Biennial and Stockbridge Cup. Lincoln : Queen's Plate : Custance, in his " Riding Recollections," says, — " The ground was fearfully heavy ; and, as soon as the flag fell, I sent Rama along at a good pace. When we got to the mile post, my mount began to sigh, and changed his legs. I thought I had overdone it a bit, so steadied him for a few strides to let him catch his wind. I then said to him, ' Come on, old man,' and, catching hold of his head, sent him alone: as hard as I could to the bottom turn . . . close to the distance, up came Lord Lyon to within a neck of me ; but, just as we were turning for home, I saw" him change his legs ; he led me, however, a good neck thirty yards from the winning post ; but then tired, and Rama, getting up in the last two strides, won by a head." Rama was in receipt of 111b. Lord Lyon was a fair success at the stud ; Placida (winner of the Oaks), and the magnificent Minting being the bright pai-ticular stars. TORIYIENTOR, a bay dau. of King Tom, — Torment by Alarm,— a dau. of Glencoe, — Alea by Whalebone, — Hazardess by Haphazard, — a dau. of Orville, — Spinetta by Trumpator, was foaled in 1803, and won the Oaks of 1800, Mirella second, Ischia third.

THE HERMIT, a chestnut son of Newminster, — Seclusion by Tadnor, — Miss Sellon by Cowl (son of Bay Middleton), — Belle Dame by Belsbazzar, — Ellen by Starch, — Cuirass by Oiseau, — Castanea by Gohanna, was foaled in 1864. Hermit was a difficult and delicate horse to train. In his trial with Rama ten days before the Derby, he broke a bloodvessel; and in his races, subsecj^uent to this, he seemed afraid to fully extend himself lest he should meet with a similar mishap, and would run in a flinching kind of way as though apprehensive of something going to happen. Like almost all the Newminsters, Hermit did not improve with too much training ; and Custance, in his " Riding Recollections," says — " My readers will forgive me for saying that I think the breaking of a blood- vessel won Hermit his Derby." Principal Performances. 1860. As a two-year-old Hermit was victorious over Julius, Lady Hester, Marksman, Cellina, Seville, Vauban, A^iridis, &c. ; but went down before the flying Achievement in the Woodcote. In the Troy Stakes he was so severely punished by Custance, that he ever after trembled when that jockey approached him. 1867. Epsom : Owing to his having broken a blood- vessel only ten days previously. Hermit started at 1000 to 15 for the F((niui/,s I/or-se-s. 309 Derby, thouo'li in his o-allop on the Tuesday he fairly ran away with the boy round Tattenham Corner, bounding over the hard ground with the utmost freedom. As to the race itself — Before reaching the distance, the finish appeared to be left to Vauban, Marksman, and Van Amburgh, the latter going so strong and well that loud shouts proclaimed his victory. Within the half-distance, however, the Van had shot his bolt, and was displaced by Hermit, who now joined Vauban and Marksman. Nearing the Stand, Vauban, was seen to be in difficulties ; but he gamely struggled on, w^hile Marksman w^as going quite within himself, and at such a strong and steady pace, that now the cry arose — " Marksman wins in a canter." Less than 100 yards from home, however, Johnny Daley challenged with Hermit, who, stride by stride, gained on his opponent, the finish in the last fifty yards being of the most exciting character, and terminating in the victory of Hermit by a neck. Julius, The Palmer, The Eake (who also had broken a bloodvessel), Uncas, and Distin were also in the field. Doncaster : Second to Achievement for both the St. Leger and the Doncaster Cup. Hermit will be remembered, not only for his sensational racing career, but for the great name he made at the stud. Amongst the chief of his stock may be mentioned St. Blaise and Shotover (winners of the Derby), Peter, Tristan, Thebais, St. Marguerite, Trappist, Lonely, Queen Adelaide, St. Louis, and Friar's Balsam. Before he died, in 1S90, his progeny had won some 340,000/.; and since then, of course, this amount has been ver}^ considerably increased. AVell might Mr. Henry Chaplin, his owner, say of him — " Hermit was the best friend I ever had." JULIUS, a bay son of St. Albans,^Julie by Orlando, — Nun-Appleton by Bay Middleton, — Miss Milner by Malek, — a dan. of Whisker, — a dau. of Orville, — a dau. of Expectation, — Calabria l)y Spadille, was foaled in 1864. Principal l^erformances. 186f). Newmarket: Beaten a neck by Vauban for the Troy Stakes, with Lady Hester and Marksman also in the field. 1867. Newmarket (8st.) : Won the Cesarewitch in the commonest of canters. 1868. Newmarket (8st. 101b.) : Beat Hermit (Sst. 01b) in a match for 1000 sovs. Bath (8st. 101b.) : Won the Beaufort Cup, beating Achievement (9st. .21b.) by fifteen lengths. Julius was of a very excitable temperament, and, with a hood over his eyes, used to go capering along, his neighs ringing through the air as though he very much objected to being led a captive. PainUd by Harry Hall. ACHIEVEMENT. AC HI EVE lYIE NT, the "flying" dark brown sister to Lord Lyon (by Stockwell, — Paradigm), was bred by Colonel Pearson in 18G4. Standing over sixteen hands as a two-year-old, and quite of the greyhound type, she was really a beautiful filly. Principal Performances. 1866. Achieve- ment may be said to have " swept the board " as a two-year-old ; and this in a brilliant year of exceptional animals, winning the Grrand Stand Plate at Ascot Spring, the Woodcote Stakes at Epsom, the New Stakes at Ascot, the July and Chesterfield Stakes at Newmarket, the Lavant Stakes at Groodwoocl, the Champagne Stakes at Doncaster, and the Hope- ful and Criterion Stakes at Newmarket, beating in these races Fripponier, Marksman, Hermit, Vauban, Hippia, Lady Hester, Julius, Knight of the C-arter, &c., &c.; and many of them on more than one occasion. Plaudit, with 71b. the best of the weights, beat her a head in the Clearwell Stakes, after a desperate finish. She was also beaten in a canter by The Pake, for the Middle Park Plate ; but he again had a 71b. pull in the weights. 1867. Newmarket : Although looking very light indeed, Achievement won the One Thousand Guineas in a canter from a moderate field ; but could only run a dead-heat with Romping Grirl for second place to Hippia in the Oaks. Ascot : Second to Vauban for the Prince of Wales' Stakes ; Famous Horses. 311 Won the Coronation Stakes. York : Looking the picture of health once again, Achievement cantered away with the Great Yorkshire Stakes, beating Yauban by ten lengths. Doncaster : Won the St. Leger. Before reaching the distance, Yauban was beaten, and Achievement hekl a slight lead of Hermit, upon whom Custance was seen to be at work. At the commencement of the inclosure, Chaloner called upon Col. Pearson's filly, who won by a length. Julius, finishing most gamely, was only a head from Hermit. AYon the Doncaster Cup. At the bend of the course Hermit was leading ; but, when fairly in the straight, he was challenged by Achievement. For several strides the pair raced side by side ; but, after passing the distance, Kenyon sent Achievement to the front ; and she won, almost pulling her rider out of the saddle. Achievement, unfortunately, died almost as soon as her Turf career was ended. HIPP I A, a bay dau. of King Tom, — Daughter of the Star by Kremlin, — Evening Star by Touchstone, — Bertha by Eubens, — Boadicea by Alexander, was bred by Baron Meyer de Rothschild in 1864. Principal Performances. 1866. Ascot : Won the Queen's Stand Plate, the field including The Duke and Marksman. Won the Fernhill Stakes, beating Fripponier and YesjDasian. 1867. Epsom: Won the Oaks. Approaching the Stand, Achievement was leading a length from Hippia. Passing the Stand, Daley called upon the latter, who answered most gamely, and was soon level with the favourite. Custance was now obliged to use his whip vigorously ; but Achievement, who was completely out of form, was not equal to the occasion, and the Baron's filly won easily at last. VAUBAN, a brown son of Muscovite, — Palm by Tadmor, — Fig-tree by Envoy, was bred by the Duke of Beaufort in 1864. Principal Per- formances. 1866. Newmarket: Won the Troy Stakes, beating Julius, Lady Hester, and Marksman. 1867. Newmarket : Won the Two Thou- sand Guineas easily. Knight of the Garter (second). Marksman (third), Julius (fourth), with Uncas, Pericles, Plaudit, and Yan Amburgh unplaced. Ascot : Won the Prince of Wales' Stakes, and the Triennial, in which he beat the " flying" Achievement, Painted bii JJarrii Jln/l. BLUE GOWN. BLUE GOWN, a hard bay son of Beadsman,— Bas Bleu by Stockwell, — Vexation by Touchstone, — Vat by Langer, — Wire by Waxy, was bred by Sir Joseph Hawley in 1865. Bas Bleu (the dam of Blue Gown) ran very moderately on the Turf ; and, as a rule, threw her foals very late in the season. She was a plainish mare ; but with much of the Stockwell character about her, although somewhat deficient in length. Beadsman proved an excellent corrective in this respect, as most of the Weatherbits excelled in length. Blue Gown stood close upon fifteen hands three inches high ; and might be described as a " little big " horse, taking more after his dam's than his sire's family, and wanting only in the blood-like elegance of his half-brother and sister — Eosicrucian and Green Sleeves. He was of a most docile dis- position. Wlien being led back to the rubbing-house, after winning the Derby, one of the stable lads was hanging on to his long tail. Sold to go to the United States, his death was occasioned by the rolling motion of the vessel while on the voyage to New York in 1880. Principal Performances. 1867. Ascot. Won the Fernhill Stakes. New- market : Won the Clearwell. Doncaster : Won the Champagne Stakes ; but was disqualified for carrying over- weight. 1868. Epsom: Won the Famous Horses. 313 Derby. At the distance, the race was reduced to a match between King Alfred and Blue Gown, all the rest being beaten. Two hundred yards from home Blue Gown challenged ; and, amidst intense excitement, drew up level ; and, gradually forging ahead, won a magnificent race by half-a-length, the field also including Specvdum (winner of the City and Suburban and Goodwood Cup), Paul Jones (winner of the Chester Cup), Green Sleeves (winner of the Middle Park Plate), Rosicrucian (winner of the Criterion and Troy Stakes), and See-Saw (winner of the Cambridge- shire). It was said that, but for being indifferently ridden. King Alfred would have won ; and Wells thought he would l^e only second witli Blue Gown, so well was The King going. Sir Joseph Hawley would have preferred winning the Derby with llosicrucian, as he had Ijacked him rather heavily, and only started Blue Gown because the public had extensively supported him. Ascot : Won the Cup easily, beating Speculum and King Alfred. Blue Gown w^as, unfortunately, omitted from the entries for the St. Leger ; but he won the Pitzwilliam Stakes at Doncaster, beating Evelina and Vespasian. Newmarket Houghton (9st.) : Beaten a length by See Saw (Sst. 21b.) for the Cambridgeshire, the pace throughout being very severe. Won the Free Handicap under the top weight, giving .2st. to Mortemer. 1809. Epsom : Won the Trial Stakes, the field including Formosa (beaten only a head) and Vespasian. Newmarket First Spring (9st.) : Beaten two lengths by Vespasian (6yrs., Sst. lOlb.) in a match for 500 sovs. Ascot : Beaten half-a-length by Brigantine for the Cup, with Formosa, Thorwaldsen, and Trocadero also in the field. Goodwood (9st. ()lb.) : Won the Craven Stakes by a head from Vespasian (9st. 91b.). Even betting between the two. At the close of the season, Blue Gown was sold to Prince Pless for 5000 guineas. THE EARL, a bay son of Young Melbourne,— Bay C(plia by Orlando, — Hersey by Glaucus, — Hester by Camel, was foaled in 18 05. Next to Blue Gown, The Earl was no doubt the best of his year. He was scratched for the Derby, after he had been extensively backed by the public ; and the same policy was adopted as regards the St. Leger. In fact, he did not run again after the Ascot Meeting of 1868. Principal Performances. 1867. York August : Won the Gimcrack Stakes. New- market: Won the Rutland ''Stakes. 1868. Newmarket: Won the Biennial, beating Blue Gown and Suffolk. Paris: Won the Grand Prix. Ascot: Won the Ascot Derby, the Biennial, and the St. James' Palace Stakes. Broke down in his preparation for the St. Leger. Diaiin bii J StU7geSi EOSICRUCIAN. (Reproduced by permission of the " Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News.") ROSICRUCIAN, an exceedingly lumdsome black-brown son of Beadsman, — Madame Eglantine (dam of The Palmer) by Cowl, — Diversion by Defence, was bred by Sir Joseph Hawley in 1SG5. Eosicrueian may be described as belonging to the long and low type of thoronghbred, with immense muscular power in his arms and thighs, a sjjecialife of the stock of Beadsman. " A spreading tree upon the Berkshire down-land ridge was ' Rosi's ' birthplace ; and under the shadow of those branches, year by year, the wayward Madame Eglantine came to foal, her fine quality and symmetry .being in striking contrast to the coarse and carty Morgan-la-Faye, her relative. Terril^le stories were told of her training- eccentricities ; and when at the post she fretted to such an extent that she was beaten before the Hag fell. John Wells declared that there was no horse he was so delighted to show off upon as Eosicrueian, who was a beautiful mover in all his paces ; and he is said to have spoken of the pair as ' John Wells on Eosicrueian, the handsomest man on the handsomest horse in England.' John Porter considered Eosicrueian as good as an3rthing he ever trained, as he could beat the fastest of his day over five furlongs, the best stayer, Musket, over three miles, giving him 71b., and Fan/o/fs Horses. 315 was a lOllj. better horse than Blue Gown, the winner of the Derby, the hitter bein^- also inferior to Ureen Sleeves." Principal Performances. 1867. Ascot: AVon the Maiden Plate. Newmarket Second October: Owinsf to being somewhat interfered with, and stumljling just at the finish, Green Sleeves beat him a short head in the Middle Park Plate, the tiekl also including Formosa, Lady Coventry, and Lady ' Elizabeth. Newmarket Houghton : Won the Criterion Stakes, beating Leonie and King Alfred. Won the Troy Stakes. 1868. During the spring both llosicrucian and Green Sleeves suffered much from influenza, whilst Blue Gown escaped comparatively with immunity ; and the two former, who ran for the Two Thousand Guineas, may be said to have been " all to pieces" at the time. Eosicrucian and Green Sleeves were also again beaten in the Derby by Blue Gown, King Alfred, and Speculum ; and liosicrucian did not run again until the Ascot Meeting of 1869, after which he ran frequently, finishing in 1871 by spread-eagling his field in the Ascot Stakes under 9st. ; and having all his own way in the Alexandra Plate. Sir Joseph Hawley's horses were trained in private by Porter at Kingsclere. Green Sleeves was a very racing-like filly, with a fine fore-hand, and very grand quarters, though she lacked something of the exquisite grace of her grand-dam Mendicant. FORiVIOSA, a dark chestnut dan. of Buccaneer (by Wild Dayrell), — Ella by Chanticleer, — a dan. of Tomboy,— Tesane by Whisker, was foaled in 1865. Princijml Performances. 1867. Newmarket July (8st. 71b.) : Won the Chesterfield Stakes, beating Leonie (9st.), Suffolk (9st. 31b.), Athena (9st. — winner of the Lavant, Hopeful Stakes, &c.). Newmarket : Not placed for the Middle Park Plate to Green Sleeves, Rosicrucian, and Lady Coventry. 1868. Newmarket: Ran a dead heat with Moslem (by Knight of St. Patrick) for the Two Thousand Guineas, the field also including St. Eonan, Green Sleeves, Yale Royal, Rosicrucian, King Alfred, and Pace. Within the half-distance. Green Sleeves and Rosicrucian were nearly level with Formosa ; but, soon after, both gave way, when Moslem closed w'\i\\ Formosa, finally making a dead heat of it. Won the One Thousand Guineas also. Epsom : Won the Oaks in a canter by ten lengths. Doncaster : Won the St. Leger in a canter, the field including Paul Jones, Mercury, See Saw, and King Alfred. ^^^ ^^^^**^^-- ■^■'" Painted by Harry llu 11. PRETENDER. PRETENDER, a brown son of Adventurer (by Newminster), — Ferina by Venison, — Partiality by Middleton, — Favourite by Blucher, — Scheherazade by Selim, — Gipsey (sister to Aimator) by Trunipator, was foak^d in LS66. Principal Performances. 186S. Newmarket Second October (41b. extra) : Third for the Middle Park Plate to Pero Gomez and Scottish Queen. 1869. Newmarket First Spring : Won the Two Thousand Guineas. The pace was very severe from start to finish ; and, from the Abingdon Mile bottom, Belladrum and Pretender came away by themselves, the hitter being a bare half-length in front ; and though Kenyon made a splendid effort with Belladrum, the son of Catherine Hayes was unable to lessen the advantage held by Pretender. Belladrum was some time afterwards shipped for the Cape ; but wdien about to land he jumped overboard, and swam away seawards with great freedom. He was, however, captured after some difficulty, and safely landed. Epsom Summer : Won the Derby. Wells on Pero Gomez had been somewhat interfered wath at Tattenham Corner and compelled to come round on the outside ; but, just opposite the Stand, he dashed his mount to the front — Pretender having held the lead by about half a length ; and, for a moment. Sir Joseph's colt seemed to have the best of the race. Pretender, however, answering to Osborne's Fatuous Horses. 317 energetic call upon him, won as o-rand a race as was ever witnessed by a short head. Wells always maintained that Pero Gomez was really in front when they passed the post ; and many people were of the same opinion. Doncaster : Not placed for the 8t. Leger won by Pero Gomez ; and, in the Doncaster Stakes, was again defeated by Pero Gomez, who was clearly the better horse, and unlucky not to have won the Derby. Pretender ran several times in 1870 and 1871, but quite lost his form. PERO GOIYIEZ, a dark brown son of Beadsman, — Salamanca by Student (son of Chatham), — Bravery by Gameboy, was bred by Sir Joseph Hawley in 1S6G. Pero Gomez when in training was not a beautiful horse, being rather upright in front, and faulty as regards his loins and quarters. He stood about fifteen hands three inches high, had well laid shoulders, Avith fine depth and girth ; and, in all his races, proved himseK a thoroughly game animal ; and was, moreover, of an amiable and good-tempered disposition. Principal Performances. 18()8. Won the Middle Park Plate easily by a length from Scottish Queen, Pretender, Wild Oats, &c. Ran a dead-heat with Wild Oats for the Criterion Stakes. 1869. Newmarket Craven: Won the Biennial easily. Epsom: Beaten a short head for the Derby. Ascot : Second for the Prince of Wales' Stakes. Won the Ascot Derby. Doncaster : Won the St. Leger. Soon after rounding the bend Pero Gomez took up the running, and came along at a very fast pace. Osborne now called upon Pretender ; but the Derby winner was beaten immediately. At the inclosure Pero was challenged by Martyrdom, who appeared to be gaining, inch by inch, on Sir Joseph's colt ; but, notwithstanding Fordham's resolute riding, and an attempt at a fine dash, Martyrdom was unable to get on level terms, and was easily defeated at the finish. After running third for the Free Handicap at the Newmarket Houghton Meeting, in which he was conceding the winner — Cardinal York — 301b., and the second — Border Knight — 261b., Pero Gomez retired from the Turf. BRIGANTINE, a bay dau. of Buccaneer,— Lady Macdonald by Touchstone, — Fair Helen by Pantaloon, was foaled in 1866. Principal Performances. 1868. Newmarket First Spring: Won the Two-Year-Old Plate, beating Martyrdom, Rhysworth, and others. 1869. Epsom: Won the Oaks. Ascot : Won the Gold Cup, beating Blue Gown, Formosa, Trocadero, and Thorwaldsen. Wells, it was thought, laid somewhat too far out of his ground mtli Blue Gown. Stockbridge : Won the Cujj, beating Formosa by twenty lengths. / uiil I I II II mil Hall KINGCRAFT. KINGCRAFT, a bay son of King Tom, — Woodcraft by Yoltigeur, — Wedding Day by Camel, — Margellina (sister to Memnon) by Whisker, was bred by Lord Falmouth in 1867. Principal Performances. 1809. Newmarket : Won the Chesterfield Stakes. Goodwood : Won the Ham Stakes. York : Won the Convivial Stakes. Newmarket : Won the Buckenham Stakes and the Triennial. Third (9st. 21b.) for the Middle Park Plate to Frivolity (8st. 101b.) and Sunshine (8st. 131b.), heads only dividing the three ; with Hawthornden (8st. 91b.) also in the field. Third (9st. lib.) for the Criterion to Hester (8st. 81b.), and Sunshine (Sst. 81b.). 1870. Third for the Two Thousand Gruineas to Macgregor and Normanby. Epsom : Won the Derby, 9 to 4 on Macgregor, 20 to 1 agst. Kingcraft. On the morning of the Derby Tom French, while walking with Fordham, picked up a horse-shoe, and, throwing it over his shoulder, exclaimed, " Greorge, I shall beat you to-day ! " It seemed, however, almost a certainty that Fordham would now at length have the wdnning mount in the Derby, so good a thing did the race look for Macgregor ; but, when half the distance had been covered, not only was the colt in the rear, but Fordham was riding him hard and without avail. At the distance Fordham called upon him again for an effort, but in vain ; and Kingcraft rushing to the front, drew away, and won with consummate ease by four Fanioi/!^ Horses. 319 lengths. Doncaster : Second for tlie St. Leger. Kingcraft after this entirely lost his form, the severity of the race having probably subdued his spirit. lYlACGREGOR, a bay son of Macaroni,— Necklace by The Fallow Buck, — Bracelet by Touchstone, — Manacle by Emilius, was foaled in 18(57. Principal Performances. 1870. Upon his hrst appearance in public Macgregor won the Two Thousand Guineas very easily, beating Normanby, Kingcraft, ike. An enormous stake was won over this race by the stable connections. Epsom : Broke down in the race for the Derby. Macgregor was tried at one time able to give 2Tlb. to Sunshine ; and through a collateral trial, it was ascertained that he could have given nearly tliree stone to (lamos. HAWTHORNDEN, a bay son of Lord Clifden,— Bonny Blink by The Flying Dutchman, — Prairie Bird by Touchstone, was foaled in 18G7. Principal Performances. 1870. Not placed for the Two Thousand Gruineas. It was considered useless to start Hawi]hornden for the Derby against Macgregor ; but it is very possible he might have beaten King- craft, as he afterwards did in the St. Leger. Doncaster : Won the St. Leger. As they came into the straight Tom French brought up Kingcraft, who w^as going so strong and w^ell that the wildest odds were offered on him. At the distance, however. Jemmy Grimshaw rushed Hawthorden up to the favourite's girths, and after a brief and ineffectual effort to shake off' the challenge, French was seen to raise his whip, amid the most deafening screams from the fielders ; and Hawthornden, gradually forging ahead, maintained his advantage, and won cleverly, despite the resolute riding of French, by half-a-length. Betting .2 to 1 agst Kingcraft, 28 to 1 agst Hawthornden. SUNSHINE, a dau. of Thormanby, — Sunbeam by Chanticleer, was foaled in 1n07. Principal Performances. 1SG9. Won the July, Lavant, and Doncaster Champagne Stakes, and ran second for the Middle Park Plate. 1870. Second to Gamos for the Oaks. Sunshine was amiss ; and Hester, from some cause or other, did not show an}i;hing like her proper form. GAIYIOS, a bay dau. of Saunterer, — Bess Lyon by Longbow, — a dau. of Toscar, was foaled in 1867. Principal Performances. After taking half-a-dozen races as a two-year-old in 1869, Gamos won the Oaks of 1870 in a canter. HESTER, a bay dau. of Thormanby, — Tomyris by Sesostris (son of Whalebone, — Sister to Amazon by Driver), — a dau. of Glaucus, — lo by Taurus, was foaled in 1867, and won the One Thousand Guineas of 1870. JJrairn by J. .stii.nji'ss. FAVONIUS. (Reproduced by permission of the '• Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News.") FAVONIUS, a chestnut son of Parmesan (by Sweetmeat, — Grruyere by Verulam, — Jennala by Touchstone, — Emma by Whisker), — Zephyr (sister to Hannah) by King Tom, — Mentmore Lass by Melbourne, was bred by Baron Eothschikl in 18GS. Parmesan, though a mere pony, was a fair racehorse at all distances. Favonius, having cut up badly in a trial, did not run as a two-year-old ; and, upon his first appearance in public, he was beaten a head only by Albert Victor for the Newmarket Biennial, after a grand finish. At Epsom he won the Derby from King of the Forest and Albert Victor, who ran a dead-heat for second place, with Digby Grrand close up fourth. King of the Forest had been recently amiss, and Albert Victor was considered somewhat overtrained. Favonius, on the other hand, was trained to the hour and looked magnificent. 1872. Goodwood: Won the Gold Cup in a canter, giving Albert Victor 71b. The stock of Favonius were for the most part dark chestnuts or browns, full of activity and go, but without any great amount of bone or substance. HANNAH, a bay dau. of King Tom, — Mentmore Lass by Melbourne, — Fdiiioiix ffor-scs. '.Vl\ Emerald by JJei'eiu'c, was l)iv(l by Baron liothschild, oi' Meutniore, in 1S()S, and named after one ol" his dangliters. Hannah was a small-l^oned filly, somewhat lacking- in substance. Principal Performances. ISOS. New- market: Won the July Stakes, the Triennial, and the Clearwell Stakes. Third to Albert Victor and Steppe for the Middle Park Plate. Beaten a head by Digby Grand (in receipt of 41b.) for the Prendergast Stakes. 1871. Won the One Thousand Guineas, Steppe second, Noblesse third. Won the Oaks in a canter, Noblesse second, Hopbine third. Won the St. Leger by a length, Albert Victor second. BOTHWELL, a whole brown son of Stockwell, — Katherine Logic by The Flying Dutchman, — Phryne by Touchstone, was foaled in ISOS. Bothwell, a fair specimen of a Stockwell, was a lengthy, deep-bodied horse, standing over fifteen hands three inches high, with immense bone and substance and great power. Principal Performances. 1870. Ascot: Beaten a neck by Corisande for the New Stakes. York : Won the Gimcrack Stakes. Newmarket : Pan a dead heat with Noblesse (in receipt of 41b.) for second place in the Criterion Stakes won l^y General (51b. extra), with Blenheim, Digby Grand, Corisande, and Eipponclen also in the field. 1871. Won the Two Thousand Guineas. On commencing the final ascent, odds were offered on Sterling; but he died away to nothing, Bothwell passing him half-way up the hill, and winning by a length. ALBERT VICTOR, a chestnut son of Marsyas,— The Princess of Wales (dam also of George Frederick and Louise Victoria) by Stockwell, — The Bloomer by Melbourne, was bred by Mr. Cartwright in 1808, The Bloomer, proving worthless for the racecourse, had been left to graze for some time in a field where there was a pool in which she had bathed to her heart's content, and through want of grooming had become very dirty and ragged, and had filled her stomach with grass to such an extent as to destroy all her original symmetry. At the sale of Tom Oliver's effects she failed to elicit a bid ; and Tom, as a favour, was allowed to retain her. Mr. Cartwright gave him 15/. for the mare, for which paltry sum, it may be truly said, poor Tom Oliver nn wittingly parted with a fortune. The Bloomer was dam also of the " beautiful " Ely, and grand-dam also of George Frederick and Louise Victoria. Albert Victor made a dead-heat with King of the Forest for second place in the Derby of 1871, won by Favonius. STERLING. '(Rejiroduced from a painting in the possession of Y. E. Graham, Epq.) STERLING, a bay son of Oxford (by Irish BirdcatcLer), — Whisper by Fkitcatcher, — Silence by Melbourne, — Secret, was foaled in 18G8. Prin- cipal Performances. 1871. Beaten by Both well for the Two Thousand (xuineas. King of the Forest also going down. Bothwell never did any- thing afterwards, but went from bad to worse ; and it is very remarkable how he ever managed to get in front of two such horses as Sterling and King of the Forest. Brighton : Beaten a neck by Vulcan, who was g-ivino- 181b. "Knowinof what beautiful shoulders Vulcan had, Fordham, when they reached the top of the hill, dashed him down it at an alarming pace, getting many lengths away from his opponent ; and, sending his mount along to the bitter end, he just reached the winning post a neck in front of Sterling." (From " Pacing Reminiscences," by Sir George Chetwynd, Bart.) Newmarket Houghton : Ran a dead heat with Allbrook for second place in the Cambridgeshire. Custance, in his " Riding Recollections," says — " It rained in torrents and was dreadfully cold. I had been wasting for other races, and we were about three- quarters of an hour at the post. There were thirty-seven runners ; and Fa})io((-s Horses. 3:28 Sterling', who had beluived himself pretty well for the first ten minutes, beeame almost unmanageable afterwards. He reared, kicked, and did everything he should not have done, as his temper was upset. At last the Hag fell to a straggling start, and before we had gone two hundred yards I was in the lirst three, with Ost. 71b. on. When we had gone a quarter of a mile I was second, with my reins like soft soap. My hands were numbed, and the sweat from the horse's neck made the reins quite past holding." Allbrook, at the Red Post, was leading his field by four lengths, when he began to falter, and cries of " Sterling wins ! " filled the air, immediately followed by a shout of triumph from the ring ; as Fordham, riding Sabinus with desperate determination, got up and won a most exciting race by a short head from Sterling and Allbrook, whom the judge could not separate. Won the Liverpool Cup. Custance, who rode Sterling, says — " When we came round the last turn, nearly half a mile from home, I began to draw away from the ruck, and by the time we got to the distance towards the front lot, I saw King Lud and Louise Victoria racing together. ... I still suffered and waited, letting the other two run themselves out, and was at last rewarded, partly by their coming back to me, and j)artly by the extraordinary struggle made by Sterling. When I called on the gallant animal for the final effort, he got up and won by a short head, the same distance dividing second and third. . . . Nothing could have excelled Sterling's brilliant gameness and determination." Custance considers that the best horse he ever rode was either Sterling or Thormanby. Isonomy was Sterling's best son ; and Paradox, Harvester, Enterprise, Enthusiast, Greology, Gold, and Superba also own him as sire. When Sterling was at the Yardley Stud, 10,000/. was twice refused for him in one week ; and to a telegram from Australia, inquiring his price — Miss (Iraham replied, " All the gold in Australia would not buy him." KING OF THE FOREST, a rich bay son of Scottish Chief, ^Lioness by Fandango, — Manoeuvre by Hector, — a dau. of Muley, — Sister to Perchance, was bred by Mr. Merry in 186S. Principal Performances. 1870. Won six races ; beating, amongst others, Eosicrucian, Hawthornden, Perfume, Camembert, and Pipponden. 1871. King of the Forest went amiss prior to the Two Thousand ; and had to be content with third place to Bothwell and Sterling. Epsom : Ran a dead-heat with Albert Victor for second place to Favonius. Ascot : Won the Prince of Wales' Stakes, with Hannah and Sterling amongst the beaten ones. Goodwood : Won the Drawing-Eoom Stakes, and the Bentinck Memorial Stakes. 187.2. Goodwood : Won tlie Bentinck Memorial. V '1 CREMORNE (MAIDMENT Up). (Reproduced by permission of Mr. H. E. Slierborn. Newmarket.) CREIYIORNE, a ricli bay son of Parmesan, — Rigolboche by Eataplan, — Skinnislier's clam, was bred by his owner, Mr. Henry Saville, in 1S69. Standing about fifteen hands three inches high, no gamer animal or more reliable runner than Cremorne ever strode over Newmarket Heath, and he was a very vigorous, though easy, mover in all his paces. Principal Performances. 1871. Won the Newmarket Two- Year-Old Plate, the Woodcote Stakes, a Biennial and Triennial at Ascot, the Hurstbourne and Chesterfield Stakes, and the York Biennial. He won again at Doncaster ; Ijut in the Criterion he could only get third to those speedy animals. Prince Charlie and Nuneham. 1872. Beaten a neck by Prince Charlie in the Two Thousand Guineas, with Queen's Messenger third. Won the Derby easily by a neck from Pell Mell, (whom Maidment, the rider of Cremorne, did not see until they were close on the post). Queen's Messenger, Prince Charlie, (who was running out of his distance), Wenlock, &c., being also in the held. Won the Grrand Prix de Paris, and beat that splendid stayer, King Lud, upon two Famous Horses. 325 occasions. 1873. With Ost. .21b. in the saddle, Cremorne was beaten for the City and Suburl)an, althoui^'h many blamed Maidment for not comim^- sooner with him. Won the Ascot Cup by eight lengths from Flageolet, with Thorn, Hannah, and Corisande also in the field ; and beat Vander- decken fifteen lengths for the Alexandra Plate. PRINCE CHARLIE, a chestnut son of l^lair Athol,— Eastern Princess by Surplice, — Tomyris by Sesostris, was foaled in l.S()9. Prince Charlie stood close upon seventeen hands, and his magnificent conformation and noble carriage were the subject of universal admiration. Had it not been for his roaring, he must have made a much greater name for himself. " Sent to the United States, he became the sire of many famous horses, notably of Salvator, who, in September, 1890, galloped a mile (with a flying start, however) in Imin. 35^sec., the best time ever made." (From " Pacing Eeminiscences," by Sir Greorge Chetwynd, Bart.) In addition to the " Hying start," Salvator had three or four companions who jumped in at various points of the course and took him along at top speed. Principal Performances. 1871. Prhice Charlie's first appearance in public was in the Middle Park Plate, which he w^on by a head from Laburnum, with Nuneham and Wenlock also in the field. Won the Criterion, beating Nuneham, Cremorne, Drummond, &c. 1872. AVon the Two Thousand (luineas by a neck, Cremorne second, Queen's Messenger third, with King Lud and Wenlock also in the field. Unplaced for the Derby, his malady effectually stopping him from negotiating the mile and a half successfully. Ascot : Won the Fernhill and All-Aged Stakes. Second to Wenlock for the St. Leger. 1873. A¥on all the ten races for which he started. 1874. (lave 161b. to Tangible and beat him. Peat Blenheim twice at even weights. Beaten two lengths by Blenheim when attempting to give him 71b. Great consternation was caused by this defeat of the " Prince of the T.Y.C.," upon whom as much as 5 — 1 was laid. " The Prince," in addition to being somewduit on the " big- side," was not suited by the hard condition of the course ; and there was not an effort left in him at the finish. Looking calmly at the result, however, it does not seem anything extraordinary judging by the previous form at even weights. Stockbridge : Beat Blenheim two lengths at even weiofhts. Newmarket: Beat Peut-Etre in a match for 500/. over the Ivowley Mile. WENLOCK, a bay son of Lord Clifden, — Mineral by Eataplan, — Manganese by Birdcatcher, was foaled in 1 S()0 ; and won the St. Leger of 1872. He Avas sent abroad in 1891. Ihiiitn hfi J. >?«;■(/. «.s-. DONCASTEK. (Eeproilueed by permission of the " Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News.") DONCASTER, a rich golden eliestniit son of Stockwell, — Marigold by Teddington, — Sister to Singapore by Eatan, — a dau. of Melbourne, — Lisbetli by Phantom, — Elizabeth by Eainbow, — Belvoirina by Stamford, was bred at Sledmere by Sir Tatton Sykes in 1870; and sold when a yearling to Mr. James Merry for 950/., the general o})inion being that the colt would not stand training. A severe kick on the stiHe prevented Doncaster putting in an appearance in public as a two-year-old, which, perhaps, w^as all in his favour, as his fine frame had thus further time in wdiicli to mature. Eatan, a chestnut standing over sixteen hiuids, with immense substance, fine symmetry, and remarkably light action, was by Buzzard (son of Blacklock), — a dau. of Picton (by Smolensko, — a dau. of Dick Andrews), — a dau. of Selim, — a dau. of Pipator, — Queen Mab by Eclipse. Doncaster stood about 15.8, and looked bigger than he really was, owing to his very fine substance and bold carriage. He seemed to dislike Tommy Osborne's riding, whose slightly "soaring" style was hardly so well adapted for a nervous horse as the quieter generalship of Webb, in whose hands Doncaster always ran straight and finished Fa//m/f-s Hones. 327 g-aniely. iVincipal lVri\)riuaiic'es. 1878.

Ascot : Pan a dead-heat with Flageolet for the Gold Cup, Eoiard winning by three-quarters of a length, with Gang Forward, Marie Stuart, and Kaiser also in the field. It was thought that Webb on Doncaster lay too far out of his ground. G ooclwood : Won the Gold Cup, beating Kaiser by a neck. 1875. Ascot : Won the Gold Cup by six lengths, Aventuriere second. Won the Alexandra Plate (three miles). Doncaster now retired from the Turf, and was piu-chased from Mr. Merry by Mr. Robert Peck for 10,000/., and resold by him shortly afterwards to the Duke of Westminster for 14,000/. Large as this price seems, it cannot be said to have been a dear bargain, seeing that from Doncaster have descended three such animals as Bend Or, Ormonde, and Orme. IVIARIE STUART, a chestnut dau. of Scottish Chief,— Morgan-la-Faye by Cowl, — Miami by Venison, was foaled in 1870. Principal Performances. 1872. Ascot: Won the New Stakes and the Biennial.

GEORGE FKEDERICK. (Repiuduced liy permission of Mr. 11. R. Sherborn, Newmarket.) GEORGE FREDERICK, a sint^ularly rich red chestnut son of Marsyas,— Princess of Wales by Stockwell, — The Bloomer by Melbourne, — Lady Sarah by Velocipede, — Lady Moore Carew by Tramp, was foaled m 1871. Mr. Cartwright (the owner of (leorge Frederick) owed his success on the Turf to his mare. The Bloomer, (dam of the Princess of Wales, Fairwater, Penarth, and " the beautiful " Ely ; and grand-dam of George Frederick, Albert A^ictor, and Louise Victoria). Fairwater (by Loup Clarou) was her first foal, to train whom Tom Oliver was specially settled at Wroughton. Principal Performances of George Frederick. 1873. York: Won the Municipal Stakes, beating Apology. Newmarket : Won the Boscawen Stakes, and the Triennial Produce Stakes. LS74. Won the Newmarket Stakes. Epsom : Won the Derby, Couronne de Fer second, Atlantic third. " Crossing the road, Custance, bringing George Frederick out wide on the right, took the scarlet and black cap to the front, Couronne de Fer being next. Upon reaching Tattersall's inclosure, George Frederick came clear aw^ay, winning in a canter by two lengths." Famous Horses. 329 Greorsre Frederick was witlidrawii from the St. Lee-er on the eve of tlie race, and did not run again in IS/ I. Jn IS 75 he was l)eaten by Miss Toto for tlie Chiret Stakes. APOLOGY, a chestnut dan. of Adventurer, — Mandragora (dam also of Holy Friar by Hermit) by Rataplan, — Manganese by Irish Birdcatclier, was bred in IS 71 by the l\ev. Mr. Launde, whose colours — blue, red sleeves and cap — were lirst registered in 180:3. Apology is an instance of what may be achieved m a small but select stud by a judicious system of mating. Standing only fifteen hands two and a half inches in height, her girth was four feet live inches ; but, beyond her great substance, there was nothing very extraordinary in the appearance of Apology, as she was plainish about the head, while her action in her slow paces was not striking ; and her colour, though a hard shade of chestnut, was not so pleasing to the eye as the richer hues. Many of the Adventurers were plain coloured and indifferent walkers ; in fact, Pretender, in this latter respect, conveyed the idea that no true galloping action could exist with such awkwardness in his slow paces. Principal Performances. 1873. Newmarket : Won the Home-bred Sweepstakes. 1874. Newmarket, Won the One Thousand (ruineas. Epsom : Won the Oaks, Miss Toto second. Lady Patricia third. Ascot : Won the Coronation Stakes. York : Beaten a head by Trent for the (xreat Yorkshire Stakes. Doncaster : Won the St. Leger, Leolinus second, Trent third. " Trent was beaten at the distance, and whip and spur had to be applied to Leolinus to keep him within reach of Apology, upon whom John Osborne sat perfectly still until opposite the enclosure, when, shaking her up a bit, he went on and vv^on by a length and a half. All Yorkshire went mad with delight, and it was with great difficulty that the mare and ' Mr.' John ever got safely back to scale." ATLANTIC, a chestnut son of Thormanby, — Hurricane by Wild Dayrell, was bred by Lord Falmouth in 1871. Atlantic was rather a light-framed horse with good shoulders ; but his back was long and weak, and he stood somewhat straight on his pasterns. Principal Performances. 1873. Groodwood : Won the Ham Stakes, beating liegal and Apology. 1874. Newmarket : Won the Two Thousand Guineas, Reverberation second, Ecossais third. Atlantic unfortunately met with an accident while on his way by train to Epsom ; and was, therefore, not at his best when beaten in the Derby by (xeorge Frederick and Couronne de Fer. Ascot (9st. lib.) : Second to Leolinus (8st. 31b.), for the Prince of Wales' Stakes. Won the Ascot Derby. Doncaster : Unplaced for the St. Leger won by Apology. His last race. GALOPIN. (Reprcidueed by iierniissioii of Mr. H. E. Sherborn, Newmarke'.) GALOPIN, a bay son of Vedette,— Flying Duchess by The Flying Dutchman, — Merope by Voltaire, — Velocipede's dam by Juniper, was foaled in 1(S72. Greorge Dawson, the trainer of both Petrarch and Galopin, considered the latter one of the very best animals that ever trod tlie turf, asserting that they never could hnd out lioic good he was. Principal Performances. 1874. Ascot: Won the Fernhill Stakes, and the New Stakes. Newmarket (Sst. 181b.) : Third to Plebeian (Sst. Olb.) and Per See (Sst. 31b.) for the Middle Park Plate, heads only dividing the three, with Holy Friar (Sst. Olb.) close up, and Chaplet and Balfe also in the field. Gralopin lost this race through his jockey being tied down by intricate instructions. 1S75. Epsom : Won the Derby by a length, Claremont second, with Balfe and Camballo (who was amiss) unplaced. Ascot : Won the Fernhill Stakes. Galopin was not entered for the St. Leger. Newmarket (Sst. .^Ib.) : Beat the speedy Lowlander (5yrs., Ost.) in a match for 1000 guineas over the Rowley mile. " Galopin, on whom Morris had orders to make the running, came Famous Horses. 331 tliroiigli at a terrific pace ; and, either Fordliam could not hold Lowlander, or he dared not let the Derby winner get too far ahead, for he was within about a length of him all the way ; and, in the Abingdon mile bottom, both horses rolled slightly from the high jH'essure they had kept up so far. They were unable to sustain the effort any longer, and slowly as Gralopin finished up the hill, it was very evident that Lowlander was even more tired. Fordham was now seen to take up his whip in his left hand, and a lusty shout went up for the Derby winner, who passed the post a length in front of his opponent with very little to spare." (From Sir Greorge Chetwynd's " Racing Reminiscences.") Won the Newmarket Derby by four lengths, Craig Millar second, Balfe (in receipt of 71b.) third. Galopin's last race. When Prince Batthyany was asked to name the price of Galopin as a stallion, the answer promptly came, " Ten thousand guineas, with the condition that he never leaves England's shores." At the stud he was successful with quite a variety of maresV^inongst his stock being St. Simon from a King Tom mare, Donovan from a Scottish Chief mare, GraUiard from a Macaroni mare, Corrie Roy from a Stockwell mare, Flyaway from a Hampton mare, Oberon from an Adventurer mare, Fulmen from a Thunderbolt mare, Basildon from a Hermit mare. Harbinger from a Springfield mare, Buckingham from a Sterling mare, and Gro Lightly from a Rosicrucian mare. HAIYIPTON, a somewhat small, but very truly made and blood-like bay son of Lord Clifclen, — Lady Langden (dam also of Sir Bevys) by Kettledrum, — Haricot by Mango or Lanercost, was foaled in LST.^. A mere plater in the early part of his career, Hampton improved to such an extent as to develop into the best stayer of his day. Principal Performances. 1875. Epsom : Won the Grreat Metropolitan. Croydon: Ran second to Chanclos for the Grand International Hurdle Race. A gentleman, who had ridden Hampton over fences, declared that the horse would have won the Liverpool (Irand National Steeplechase had his attention been turned in that direction. 1876. Won the Groodwood Stakes. 1877. Won the Northumberland Plate, and the Groodwood and Doncaster Cups. 1878. Epsom: Won the Glold GHip very easily, beating Verneuil, who, shortly afterwards, won both the Grold Cup and Alexandra Plate at Ascot. Three winners of the Derby — Merry Hampton (1887), Ap'shire (1888), and Ladas (1894) — own Hampton as sire ; and to these might be added Highland Chief, who was only just beaten in 1883. His other principal winners include Reve d'Or, Sheen, and Prince Hampton. : Reproduced by peniiissiuii of lliu ■'Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News.' CAIYIBALLO, a l>ay son of Cainbuscan (by Newminster), — " the Hying' " Little Lady by Orlando, — Sister to Voltig-eur, was foaled in 1872, and purchased, a;> a yearling, by Mr. Vyner for 1000 guineas. In general appearance Caniballo had a greater resemblance to Lord of the Isles than to Newminster. Standing a good fifteen hands three inches high, his colour was a beautiful sherry bay, almost resembling a chestnut at a distance ; and a finer topped horse it would be difficult to meet with. His action was almost perfect, and especially so when fully extended. The above is an admirable likeness of Candjallo. Mr. Sturgess holds a high reputation for close and truthful resemblance in the portraiture of horses. Principal Performances. LS74. Ascot : Won the Biennial. Stockbridge : Won the Hurstbourne Stakes, Claremont second. New- market : Won the July Stakes, Craig Millar second, Balfe unplaced. Loncaster : Won the Champagne Stakes. Camballo was very highly tried as a two-year-old, and Avas an extraordinarily good horse when really well. He was tried with Thunder at a mile, receiving lOlb., and won very easily. A few^ days later they were again tried at 1.21b., the old Fa))io/fs TJorscs. 333 horse being cleverly beaten by a neck ; so that Canibalk) as a two-year-old may be said to have been the eqnal ol" Thunder, 4yrs., at not more than loll). 1875. Newmarket: Won the Two Thousand Gruineas in a canter. Picnic second, Breechloader third, Craig Millar, Claremont, and Balfe nnphiced. This was said to have been the fastest Two Thousand since the time of Diophantus. Pic-nic had broken his leg the year before, and was put into slings for about six weeks. He would not allow any person near him with the exception of the attendant who brought him food, and the accumulation of dust and dirt was an inch thick on his l3ack. He rapidly lost his form after running second for the Two Thousand. In the interval between the Two Thousand (luineas and the Derby Camballo Avent amiss ; and at Epsom was unplaced behind Galopin. Ascot : Beaten a length by Balfe for the Biennial, this race terminating his Turf career. CRAIG IVIILLAR, a rather small chestnut son of Blair Athol,— Miss Poland by Fitz-Poland, — Miss Bouzer by Hesperus, was foaled in 187:2. Principal Performances. 1874.

PETRARCH, an exceedingly liandsome and blood-like son of Lord Clit'den, — Jjanra l)y Orlando, — Torment by Alarm, was foaled in 1873. Torment, the grand-dam of Petrarch, realised no more than nineteen sovereigns at the disposal of Mr. (Irev ille's stud ; and afterwards produced Tormentor (winner of the Oaks), Laura (the dam of Petrarch, Fraulein, &c.), and Inquisition. Laura was claimed as a three-year-old by Sir John Astley at Goodwood for less than 400/. Shortly afterwards she broke a blood-vessel while at exercise ; and the same thino- occurrino- once ag-ain, when she ran at Newmarket, Sir John Astley sold her to Mr. Grordon, of Midhurst, for 25/., for whom she proved a treasure indeed; as, in addition to the magnificent Petrarch, she bred him Proto-Martyr, Praulein, Ijammas, llotherhill, and others, most of whom had some form about them. Inquisition was the dam of Rosy Cross, The Martyr, and The Imp. Principal Performances. 1875. Petrarch only appeared in public once as a two-year-old, vvlien he won the Middle Park Plate by four lengths from the large field of thirty runners, including Madeira, Kisber, Kaleidoscope, Lollypop, (Maiu-oiiald, and Wisdom. i87(). Newmarket: Won tlie Two Thousand (Jiiineas in a canter, Julius Cjjcsar second, Kaleidoscoj^e third. Epsom : Fourth for the Derby won by Kisber. Ascot (9st. lib.) : Won the Prince of Wales' Stakes easily, Great Tom (Sst. 81b.) second, Julius Caesar (8st. lOlb.) third. This race probably upset Petrarch for the time, he being of rather a delicate constitution ; as his two subsequent efforts at this meeting were ignominious failures, far surpassing the usual Ascot fiascos. Doncaster : Won the St. Leger, but by a head only, after a desperate race with the despised Wild Tommy, Julius Csesar a bad third, and Kisber unplaced. 1877. Ascot : Won the Grold Cup by a length from Skylark, Coomassie third. KISBER, a bay son of Buccaneer, — Mineral by Pataplan, was bred at the Kisber Stud in Hungary in 1873. It was the opinion of Sir George Chetwynd — no mean judge — that there was never a better horse than Kisber when fit and well. He was, however, subject to rheumatism, a sudden attack of which is supposed to have affected his running at times. Principal Performances. 1875. Newmarket: Won the Dewlmrst Plate, Springfield second. 1870. Epsom: Having received a special preparation, and brought to the post in faultless condition, Kisber won the Derby m a canter, Forerunner second, Julius Ca\sar third, Petrarch fourth.

Epsom : Starting favourite, he could only run third for the Derby to Silvio and Glen Arthur. Ascot : Won the Biennial, beating Touchet and Chevron. Second to Springfield for the New Biennial. " Soon after this Rob Roy was turned out of training ; and, as he proved of no use for stud purposes, was given to General Sir Arthur Hardinge, who rode him for seven years as a charger in India, and a magnificent one he made. He was of a darker chestnut than most of the Blair Athols, though he had the conspicuous white markings of his sire, and was up to sixteen stone with hounds, but free from all lumber, and with a beautiful head. The natives of India used to rush to see him, and christened him ' The Father of aU the Arabs.' " (Prom " Racing Reminiscences," by Sir George Chetw3aid, Barf.)

Pilgrimage started favourite for the Oaks ; but, coming down the hill badly, she failed to catch Jannette, whom Archer pushed along from the turn. Pilgrimage, in fact, broke down ; but, nevertheless, made a gallant fight of it. BEAUCLERC, a brown son of Posicrucian, — Bonny Bell by Voltigeur, Queen Mary by Gladiator, was foaled in 1875. Principal Performances. 1877. Newmarket : Won the Middle Park Plate, the field including Pilgrimage and Insulaire. 1878. Becoming unsound, Beauclerc only ran for the Doncaster St. Leger this season, won by Jannette. JANNETTE, a charming bay dau. of Lord Clifden, — Chevisaunce by Stockwell, — Paradigm (dam of Lord Lyon, Achievement, &c.) by Paragone, was foaled in 1875. Principal Performances. 1877.

Newmarket : Won the Champion Stakes, Silvio (second), the field also including Verneuil and Petrarch. 187S, Won the Jockey Club Cup. z 2 WHEEL OF FORTUNE. (Reproduced from a painting in the possession of Mr. M. Dawson, of Exning, Newmarket.) WHEEL OF FORTUNE, a bay dau. of Adventurer, — Queen Bertha (winner of the Oaks of 1863), was foaled hi 1S76. Principal Performances. 1878. Won the Pichmond Stakes at Goodwood, the Prince of Wales' Stakes at York, the Dewhurst Plate, and other races, without meeting with defeat. 1879. Newmarket: Won the One Thousand Gruineas in a canter. Epsom : Won the Oaks in a canter also. Ascot : Won the Prince of Wales' Stakes very easily, the field including E.ayon d'Or and Puperra. York : Won the Yorkshire Oaks ; but met with her only defeat in the Great Yorkshire Stakes won by Puperra. SIR BEVYS, a dark brown son of Pavonius, — Lady Langden (dam of Hampton), was foaled in 1870. Sir Bevys was undoubtedly bred to stay ; and this he clearly showed when he won the Derby in very heavy going, his previous performances ha\dng anything but foreshadowed his triumph in the chief classic event of 1879, a victor}^ due probably to the masterly manner in which George Fordham took advantage of the less treacherous track upon the upper portion of the course. Two rank outsiders, Palmbearer and Visconti, ran second and third. Having in the interval turned roarer. Sir Bews made no show whatever in the St. Leger won Famous Horses. 341 by Kayon d'Or, and quitted tlie Turf at the close of liis tliree-year-old season, being j^robably one of the most moderate animals that ever had the good fortune to win the Derby. At the stud he proved a failure. CHARIBERT, a chestnut son of Thormanby, — Grertrude by Saunterer, — Queen JJertha by Kingston, was foaled in 1876. Principal Performances : 1878. Won the Doncaster Champagne Stakes, Rayon d'Or second; but two days later the latter turned the tables upon him. 1879. Newmarket : Won the Two Thousand Guineas easily, starting at the long price of 25 — 1, Cadogan being second, with Rayon d'Or, Ruperra, and Uncas also in the field. Epsom : Unplaced for the Derby won by Sir Bevys. Ascot : Second to Rayon d'Or for the St. James' Palace Stakes. During this season the running of Charibert was of a very in and out character, one reason probably being that he was but an indifferent stayer. 1880. Charibert did better this year, winning on seven occasions, including the Queen's Stand Plate at Ascot, the July Cup at Newmarket, the Gold Cup at Sandown Park, and the Rous Stakes at Brighton. RAYON D'OR, a great upstanding dark chestnut son of Flageolet (by Plutus), — Araucaria by Ambrose, was foaled in 1876. Principal Performances. 1878. Doncaster: Second to Charibert for the Champagne Stakes. 1879. Epsom Summer : Unplaced for the Derby. Goater, who rode Rayon d'Or, thought he would have won had he not been tied down by orders how to ride. Doncaster : Won the St. Leger by five lengths, Ruperra being second. Goater had orders to come right away, make the whole of the running, and win if possible. With the exception of Stockwell, this is the only instance of a Leger winner making all his own running. PETER, a most erratic chestnut son of Hermit, — Lady Masham by Bro. to Strafford, — Maid of Masham by Don John, — Miss Lydia by Belshazzar, was foaled in 1876. Principal Performances. 1878. Won the Hopeful Stakes, the Rous Memorial, and the Middle Park Plate, the field for the latter including Victor Chief (second), Charibert, Rayon d'Or, and Ruperra. 1880. Goodwood: Won the Stewards' Cup. 1881. Won the Northamptonshire Cup, Placida second. Goodwood : Won the Singleton Stakes, beating Plienix and Parole. Ascot : Won the Hunt Cup, after stopping behind to kick. ilEND OK. (Painted by M. Eniil Adam, and reproduced liy iiermission from a photu by Messrs. Franz Hanfstaengl.) BEND OR, a mottled chestnut son of Doncaster, — Rouge Rose by Thorinanby, — Ellen Home (grand-dam also of Lord Lyon and Acliieve- ment, and great grand-dam of Ladas) by Redshank, was bred by the Duke of Westminster in 1877. The above is the accepted pedigree of the winner of the Derby of 1880 ; after which race, however, an objection was made to the winner, on the ground that he was, in reality, Tadcaster, the two colts having been mistaken, it was said, the one for the other, when sent as yearlings to the training stable. The originator of the story was a stud groom under notice to leave ; who, however, on his death bed a few years afterwards solemnly averred that he had s])oken the truth ; and, to substantiate his statement to some extent, Sandiway by Doncaster, — Clemence (the dam of Tadcaster), had, like Bend Or, peculiar dark markings on her, wdiile the produce of Rouge Rose were worthless for racing purposes. Principal Performances. 1879. Newmarket : Won the Chesterfield Stakes in a canter. Groodwood : Won FcuiioKs Hones. 343 the Richinond Stakes. IS>S0. Epsom : Won the JJerhy. "At the Bell Eobert the Devil held such a coiiiinanding lead that it looked long odds on him ; hut Archer was creeping up on Bend Or, and an exciting struggle took place. Inch hy inch he caught the leader. Rossiter appeared powerless on Bobert. Two strides from, the post the horses were level ; but Bend Or, sticking gamely to his work, won on the post by a head." (From " Bacing Beminiscences " by Sir Greorge Chetwynd, Bart.) Mask, jMuncaster, Cylinder, Apollo, and Von der Tann were also in the field. Ascot : Won the St. James' Balace Stakes. 1S81. Epsom Spring (9st.) : Won the City and Suburban easily. Epsom Summer : Although really not fit, Bend Or beat Bobert the Devil easily for the (lold Cup ; although, it must be added, Bobert himself was unsound at the time. Bend Or evidently had a great partiality for the Epsom course. Newmarket : Won the Champion Stakes, the field including Iroquois (winner of the Derby of 1881). Bend Or will not only be remembered as the winner of a sensational Derby ; but also as the sire of the mighty Ormonde, and grandsire of Orme. ROBERT THE DEVIL, a bay son of Bertram (by the Duke),— Cast-Off by Bromised Land, — Wanona by Womersley, — a dau. of Hampton, — a dau. of Cervantes, was foaled in 1877. Brincipal Berformances. 1880.

(Reproduced by permission of Mr. H. R. Sherborn, Newmarket.) BARCALDINE, a bay son of Solon (by West Australian), — Ballyroe by Belladmm (son of Stockwell), — Bon Accord by Adventurer, — a dau. of Birdcatcher, — a dau. of Hetman PlatofP, was bred in Ireland in 1878. Principal Performances. 1883. Kempton Park: Won the Westminster Cup easily, beating Tristan. Epsom : Won the Cup. Ascot : Won the Orange Cup. Newcastle (9st. 101b.) : Won the Northumberland Plate in a canter, although by no means wound up. This was Barcaldine's last appearance on a racecourse ; and he left the Turf undefeated, and with the reputation of being one of the best animals ever foaled. Indeed, very many declared him to be the very best animal within their recollection. While nearly all his stock race, they have, in addition, the faculty of improving as they grow older, a matter of the very greatest importance to those interested in them. They usually have, at least, one drawback, and that a serious one ; viz. : awkwardness of temper. Amongst the descendants of Barcaldine may be mentioned Mimi (winner of the One Thousand and Oaks), Morion, Wolf's Crag, Famous Horses. 345 Dumbarton, Sir Yisto, Marco, and Slow Step. The early deatli of Barcaldine was a serious loss to the English Tuff. IROQUOIS, a brown son of Leamington (son of Faugh-a-Ballagh), — Maggie J)J). hy Australian (son of West Australian), Madeline by Boston, — Magnoli by Glencoe, was foaled in 1878. Principal Performances. 1880. Newmarket: Beaten a head by Bal Gal for the July Stakes. Won the Chesterfield Stakes. Goodwood : Won the Lavant Stakes. 1881.

Doncaster : Although heavily bandaged, Iroquois won the St. Leger easily, the field including Geologist (second), Lucy Glitters, St. Louis, Scobell, and Bal Gal. Newmarket : Third for the Champion Stakes to Bend Or and Scobell. Won the Newmarket Derby. PEREGRINE, a brown son of Pero Gomez, — Adelaide by Young Melbourne, — a dau. of Teddington, — Maid of Masham by Don John, was foaled in 1878. Principal Performances. 1880.

Newmarket: Won the Grand Duke Michael Stakes, the Cesarewitch (7st. 121b. up), the Select Stakes, and the Cambridgeshire (9st. up), the field including Tristan (7st. 91b.), Bend Or (9st. 81b.), Corrie Eoy (Gst. 51b.), Peter, Petronel, Prestonpans, Poulet, and Scobell. In this race Foxhall proved himself to be a most wonderful animal, and actually and collaterally better at weight for age than the Derby winners — Bend Or and Iroquois. SHOTOVER. SHOTOVER, a cliestnut dau. of Hermit, — Stray Shot by Toxopliilite, — Vaga by Stockwell, was foaled in 1879. Principal Performances. 1881. The two-year-old career of Shotover was anything but prophetic of a winner of the (Kiineas and Derby, and she wound up the season by failing to carry 7st. 61b. into a place for the Tuesday Nursery at the Houghton Meeting. 18S.'2. Won the Two Thousand Guineas, Quicklime second, Marden third. Beaten a neck l^y St. Marguerite for the One Thousand, owing, probal)ly, to the fact that, the field being small, she had to make her own running. Won the Derby very cleverly. Quicklime second, Bruce (who was very badly ridden) third, and a moderate field. Won the Ascot Derby. Shotover was the dam of Bullingdon, who ran Isinglass to a head, with Ladas also in the field. She was also the dam of Orion, for whom, when he was a two-year-old, l.:2,000 guineas was refused. DUTCH OVEN, a brown dau. of Dutch Skater, — Cantiniere by Stock- well, — Cantine by Orlando, — Vivandiere (sister to Voltigeur), was foaled in 1879. Principal Performances. 1881. Won the Great Lancashire Produce Stakes, the Pichmond Stakes and Pons Memorial Stakes at Fai)/o//rS Horses. 347 Goodwood, the Cluiinpioii J^reeders' Foul Stakes at J)erby, tlie ilous Memorial, Clearwell Stakes, and Dewhurst Plate at Newmarket, and ran Kermesse to lialf-a-leno-tli for the Doncaster Champagne Stakes. 1882. Dutch Oven was beaten in the Great Yorkshire Stakes, owing, it was supposed, to the heavy condition of the course ; but won the Doncaster St. Leger easily, beating Geheimniss and Sliotover. KERIYIESSE, a brown dau. of Cremorne, — Hazeldean by Cathedral, — Nntbush by Filbert, — Beauty by Lanercost, was foaled in 1870. Prin- cipal Performances. 1881. Ascot: Won the New Stakes in a canter. Newmarket : Won the July Stakes, Marden second, with Dutch Oven and St. Marguerite running a dead-heat for third place, not more than a length separating the four.

Won the Doncaster Champagne Stakes, beating Dutch Oven half-a-length. Newmarket : AVon the Middle Park Plate easily, the field including St. Marguerite, Laureate, Marden, and Sliotover.

BLAISE, a washy cliestnut son of Hermit, — Fusee by Marsyas, — Vesuvienne by Griadiator, was foaled in 1880. Principal Performances. 1882. Newmarket: Won the Troy Stakes. 1883. Fourth for the Two Thousand Gruineas, won by Gralliard. Won the Derby by a neck, Highland Chief (second), and Galliard (third, haK a length away). It was said that the rider of Highland Chief lost the race through looking after Galliard, and failing to notice the dangerous proximity of St. Blaise. Highland Chief was fast catching the winner at the finish ; and both Webb, who rode him, and Archer, who was on Galliard, thought the Chief had just got up. Indeed, Fred Webb, as he made his way to the paddock, remarked to Charlie Archer, — " I could have won by another half-length. The victory of St. Blaise was probably, however, entirely due to the fearless way in which Wood sent him down the hill, hugging the rails, and stealing several lengths. Owing to his heavy shoulders, Galliard could not come down the hill, and lost too much ground ever to make it up. St. Blaise, on the other hand, had faultless shoulders." (From Famous Horses. 349 "Eacing Eeminiscences," by Sir George ChetwjTid, Bart.) St. Blaise was exported to the United States in 1885. GALLIARD, a very blood-like bay or brown son of Galopin, — Mavis by Macaroni, — Merlette by The Baron, — Cuckoo by Elis, — Reel by Camel, was foaled in 1880. Principal Performances. 1882. Newmarket: Won the Chesterfield Stakes. York : Won the Prince of Wales' Stakes. 1SS3. Newmarket : Won the Two Thousand Guineas. At the Bushes, the three placed horses came out together, Galliard winning a magnificent race by a head from Goldfield, who was a neck only in front of The Prince, with St. Blaise fourth, and Highland Chief unplaced. Epsom : Beaten for the Derby by St. Blaise and Highland Chief, after a very fine race. Ascot : Won the Prince of Wales' Stakes, the St. James' Palace Stakes, and the Triennial. Galliard did not run again. OSS I AN, a browm son of Salvator (by Dollar), — Music by Stockwell, — One Act by Annandale, — Extravaganza, was foaled in 1880. Principal Performances. 1883.

Don- caster : Won the Doncaster Champagne Stakes, beating Macheath, The Prince, and GaUiard. Newmarket: Won the ClearweU. 1883: Won the One Thousand Guineas. BENDIGO, a black son of Ben Battle (by Rataplan),— Hasty Girl by Lord Gough, — Irritation by King of Trumps, — Patience by Assault, was bred in Ireland in 1880, and bought when a yearling for 70 guineas only. Bendigo was of a particularly docile temper. " Both before and after a race he would stand as quiet as an old sheep, and it was quite a customary and pleasing sight to see him, after some more than usually severe struggle, contentedly munching an apple." Principal Performances. 1883. Won the Cambridgeshire. 1884. Second for the Cambridgeshire. 1885. Won the Lincolnshire Handicap. Second for the Cambridgeshire. Sandown: Won the Eclipse Stakes. 1887. Kempton (9st. 71b.): Won the Jubilee Stakes. Second for the Cesarewitch, and second once more for the Cambridgeshu-e (9st. 71b. up.) ST. SIMON. (Painted by M. Eniil Adam, and roiJroduccJ by iiflrmission from a photo by Messrs. Franz Hanfstaengl ) ST. SIIVION, a l)ay son of (hilopin,— St. Ano-elii by King Tom,— Adeline by Ion, — Little Fairy by Hornsea, — Lacerta by Zodiac, was bred by Prince Batthyany in 1881, and purcliased by the Duke of Portland for 1800 guineas. Principal Performances. 1883. Doncaster (9st. .t^lb.) : Ran away with the Prince of Wales' Nursery. 1884. Ascot : Won the (lold Cup, beating Tristan twenty lengths. Groodwood -. Won the Gold Cup in a canter. This was the last appearance of St. Simon upon a racecourse, leg troubles having commenced to develop themselves ; and he quitted the Turf an undefeated animal, never having been extended by any of his opponents. Matthew Dawson, who trained Thormanby, Wheel of Fortune, and Minting, declared St. Simon to have been the best animal he ever had under his care ; and it is a fact that, as a three-year-old, he was tried to be a stone and a half better than the Derby dead-heater of the same year — Harvester ; and his trainer considered him to be at least a stone better than Minting ; and, there- fore, superior to Ormonde. At the stud his success has been so Fai)io/f.9 Horses. 351 wonderful that it has hecoiiie almost hiipossible to secure a subscription to him, whatever the price offered. Signorina, Memoir, and Semolina were credited to him in his very first season. His fillies — which include the peerless La Fleclie — have nearly all been of the highest class ; while, on the other hand, his colts, with the exception of Raconteur, Raeburn, Simonian, and St. Serf, have proved to be only moderate. ST. G ATI EN, a bay son of The Rover (by Blair Athol),— Crinon by Newminster, — Margery Daw by Brocket, — Protection, was foaled in 1881. Principal Performances. 1SS4. Epsom: Ran a dead-beat for the Derby with Harvester (the stakes being divided). Queen Adelaide third. Ascot : Won the Gold Vase, beating Corrie Roy and Tristan.

Epsom : Beaten a head by Melton for the Derby. Paris : Won the " Grand Prix " in a canter. Goodwood : Won the Sussex Stakes, and the Free Handicap Sweepstakes, beating King Monmouth. Paradox developed a fearful temper ; and one morning, while upon Newmarket Heath, after savaging his attendant, he broke away and made straight for Mr. Alfred Bloss, the trainer — an old gentleman close upon eighty — who, seated upon his sedate little pony, calmly awaited the attack, having no other weapon but a long whip. When within a short distance of Mr. Bloss, Paradox, with gleaming eyes and distended nostrils, pulled himself up into a trot preparatory to rearing up and throwing himseK upon the pony and its rider. Measuring his distance accm-ately, the sturdy old trainer now sent out the thong of his whip, and caused it to crack bang on the nose of the infuriated horse. With a toss of his head and a loud scream of pain, Paradox hesitated an instant, as if about to annihilate his enemy ; but bang came the thong again fairly round his muzzle, followed like lightning by a blow right across the eyes. This fairly cowed the savage, who turned tail immediately and galloped away. LONELY, a bay dau. of Hermit, — Anonyma by Stockwell, — Miss Sarah by Don John, was foaled in 1882. Principal Performances, 1884. Newmarket : Won the Exeter Stakes. Goodwood: Beaten a head by Satchel for the Lavant Stakes. Lewes : Won the Priory Stakes.

ORMONDE (F. ARCHER UP). (Painted by M. Emil Adam, and reproduced by jjermission from a photo by Messrs. Franz Hanfstaengl.) ORMONDE, a bay son of Bend Or, — Lily Agnes by Macaroni, was foaled in 1883. Principal Performances. 1885. Ormonde being built on a somewhat large scale, John Porter wisely refrained from hurrying him as a two-year-old ; and, therefore, he did not appear in public until the Second October Meeting at Newmarket, when he beat the speedy Modwena. He also won the Criterion Stakes and the IJewhurst Plate ; and retired into winter quarters first favourite for the Derby, notwith- standing the immense reputation of Minting, The Bard, and Saraband. It may be said that never had four such colts been foaled in one season. 1886. So highly had Matthew Dawson tried Minting that, after Ormonde had decisively beaten the latter in the Two Thousand Cluineas, the veteran trainer could only ask, — " What kind of horse do you call ihat ? " In the Derby Ormonde and The Bard came right away from their field, the former winning by two lengths. The gallant little Bard was probably good enough to have won ninety-nine Derby s out of a hundred. In the Free Handicap at the Newmarket Houghton Meeting, Ormonde gave .281b. to both Mephisto and Theodore, and won in a common canter by Faiiio/fs Horses. 355 eight lengths. 1887. As a four-year-old Orinoiule gained his brightest laurels at Ascot, when he beat Kilwarlin (winner of the St. Leger) by a dozen lengths in the Eous Memorial. On the following day came the memorable race for the Hardwicke Stakes. It was well known that Ormonde's wind had become affected; and the policy of running him against such a horse as Minting, and over the severe Swinley course, was considered very questionable. From the distance the race resolved itself into a match between the two cracks; and, after a beautifully ridden race, Ormonde won by a neck with just a little to spare, amidst such a scene of enthusiasm as is seldom witnessed on a racecourse, Bendigo being beaten four lengths. Ormonde was sold for 1.2,000/. and shipped to Buenos Ayres. Mr. Singer gave the extraordinary sum of 5000/. for the only colt foal by him in 1890 — Glenwood. Ormonde was afterwards resold for 30,000/. to join St. Blaise as England's representative at the United States Stud, and paid a visit to England en roiife. lYllNTING, a bay son of Lord Lyon, — Mintsauce (dam also of The Lambkin) by Young Melbourne, was foaled in 1883. Standing, as a three-year-old, within the slightest shade of 17 hands, Minting as a model of massive grandeur has probably never had an equal. It used to be said of him when in training that if he were put in the scales he would probably weigh half as much again as any ordinary thoroughbred. " There's bone for you ! " proudly exclaimed Matthew Dawson, spanning the colt's leg below the knee, as he stripped him for inspection prior to the Prince of Wales' Stakes at Goodwood, in which race he made hacks of his opponents. Principal Performances. 1885. Won the Prince of Wales' Stakes at Goodwood. Won the Middle Park Plate. Giles, who was riding Braw Lass, had backed his mount, at long shots, to win a fabulous stake ; and he made the utmost use of the filly's speed, so that it was only after a desperate finish that Archer got Minting home a head in front of her, with Saraband, who was not quite liimseK, less than a neck behind ; and many thought the latter unlucky to lose, owing to Wood laying so far out of his ground. 1886. Beaten for the Two Thousand Guineas by Ormonde. Minting did not run for the Derby, the course not being a suitable one for him ; but he won the Grand Prize of Paris in splendid style by five lengths. Archer pidling him up as he passed the post. 1887. Ascot : Won the Jubilee Cup, and ran Ormonde to a head for the Hardwicke Stakes, a race which excited a vast amount of interest. 1888. Kempton Park : Won the Jul)ilee Stakes in a canter by three lengths, with the welter of lOst. in the saddle; and it was considered that list. would not have stopped him ! A A 2 MERRY HAMPTON. (From a Photograph by H. E. Sherborn. lYIERRY HAMPTON, a bay son of Hamptou,— Doll Tearsheet by Broomielaw (son of Stockwell and Queen Mary), — Mrs. Quickly by Longbow, — Venus by Sir Hercules, was foaled in 1884.

Doncaster : Beaten half-a-leugth by Kilwarlin for the St. Leger. THE BARON, a bay son of Xenophon, — Tantrum by Lord Lyon, — Vex by Vedette, — Flying Duchess by The Flying Dutchman, — Merope by Voltaire, was foaled in 1884. The Baron was a very sluggish horse in his exercise gallops ; and, after his two-year-old season, degenerated into merely a one-pace horse, a result probably due to the fact that, a very slow horse being employed to lead him at exercise, he fell into the habit of going at this one pace even in his races. Principal Perform- ances. 1886. Epsom : Won the Woodcote Stakes. Kempton : Won Famous Horses. 357 the luterntitioual Two-Year-Old Plate. Lewes : Won tlie Astley Stakes. 1887. Newmarket : Won the Craven Stakes. Epsom: Second to Merry Hampton for the Derby. Paris : Second for the Grrand Prix won by Tenebreuse.

Eniil Adain, and reproduced by permission from a photo by Messrs. Franz Hanf.staengl.) AYRSHIRE, a very dark bay (almost brown) son of Hampton, — Atalanta by Galopin, — Feronia by Thormanby, — Woodbine by Stockwell, was bred by the Duke of Portland at Welbeck, in 1885. A}Tsbire stood 15.3, and was a charming little horse. Principal Performances. 1887. Newmarket : Won the Chesterfield Stakes. Goodwood : Won the Prince of Wales' Stakes. Doncaster : Won the Champagne Stakes. 1888. Newmarket : Won the Two Thousand Gruineas. Epsom : Won the Derby. Doncaster : Owing to his leg giving trouble, Ayrshire was not placed for the St. Leger won by Seabreeze. Manchester : Beaten three- quarters of a length by Seabreeze for the Lancashire Plate, with nearly all the best winners of the day also in the field. Newmarket : Won the Great Foal Stakes. 1889. Kempton Park: Won the Eoyal Stakes, defeating Seabreeze and Friar's Balsam. Sandown : Won the Eclipse Stakes, beating Seabreeze, &c. Ayrshire won eleven out of the sixteen races for which he started. At the stud he commenced well ; as, in 1893 (the first year they appeared in public), his stock won eleven races, value 4171/. FaiJtoifs Honors. 359 SHEEN, a very handsome bay son of Hampton, — Iladiancy by Tibthorpe, — Meteor by Thunderbolt (son of Stockwell), — Duty by Eiileman, — a dan. of Sleight of Hand, was bred by Prince Soltykoff in 1885 ; and carried the familiar pink jacket and black cap of that good sportsman throughout his racing career. Sheen, although a splendid stayer, was decidedly deficient in speed. He was of the short-coupled, almost cobl3y, type ; and very like his sire, though of a somewhat darker colour. Equally good to meet or follow, he was one of the nicest little horses it was possible to imagine, and carried a rare bloom when in training. Like his sire, he showed his best form somewhat late in life ; and his strong characteristics were stamina and marked ability to carry weiglit. Principal Performances. 1887 and 1888. Sheen altogether failed to distinguish himself either as a two or three year old. 1889. Won the Biennial at Newmarket and the Jockey Club Cup. 1890. Newmarket July (9st.) : Won the Handicap of 1000/. given by Mr. Eose to encourage long distance racing. Newmarket Second October (9st. .21b.) : Won the Cesare witch easily. Beat Amphion over the last two miles of the Cesarewitch Course in the race for the second 1000/. given by Mr. Pose. Amphion, being quite incapable of staying such a distance, was very easily defeated. SATIETY, a chestnut son of Isonomy, — Wifey by Cremorne, — Lady Mary by Orlando, was bred by the Duchess of Montrose in 1885. Standing well over sixteen hands. Satiety was very powerful both before and behind the saddle, had splendid shoulders, and could both stay and go fast. Principal Performances. 1887. As a two-year-old Satiety won eleven out of the thirteen contests in which he took part. 1888. He was not entered for either the Two Thousand Gruineas or Derby ; but won the Liverpool Summer Cup, together with races at Ascot, Sandown, and Newmarket. SEABREEZE, a chestnut dau. of Isonomy, — St. Marguerite by Hermit, was bred by the Duchess of Montrose in 1885. Principal Performances. 1887. Ascot: Won the Biennial, and ran second for the New Stakes won by Friar's Balsam. Newmarket : Second for the July Stakes won by Friar's Balsam. 1888. Second to Briar-root for the One Thousand Guineas. Epsom : Won the Oaks. Doncaster : Won the St. Leger, A}Tshire (wT.nner of the Derby) being unplaced. Manchester : Won the Lancashire Plate, Ayrshire second. Friar's Balsam unplaced. BRIAR- ROOT, a bay dau. of Springfield, — Eglentyne by Hermit, — • Mabille (sister to Cremorne) by Parmesan, was foaled in 1885, and w^on the One Thousand Gruineas of 1888. DONOVAN. (Painted by M, Emil Adam, and reproduced by permission from a photo by Messrs. Franz Hanfstaengl.) DONOVAN, a dark bay son of Galopin, — Mowerina by Scottish Chief, — Stockings by Stockwell, — Go-ahead by Melbourne, — Mowerina by Touchstone, was foaled in 1886. Donovan is directly descended from nine winners of the Derby, viz. : Galopin, Yoltigeur, The Flying Dutchman, Bay Middleton, Wliisker, Whalebone, Saltram, Sir Peter, and Diomed, while he is collaterally related to several others. Principal Performances. 1888. Won the Brocklesby Stakes at Lincoln, the Portland Stakes (worth 6000 sovs.) at Leicester, the New Stakes at Ascot, the Hurstbourne Stakes at Stockbridge, the July Stakes at Newmarket, the Ham Stakes at Goodwood, the Buckenham Stakes, the Hopeful Stakes, the Middle Park Plate, and the Dewhurst Plate at NeA\a"Qarket. 1889. Won the Prince of Wales' Stakes at Leicester (value 11,000/.). Beaten a head by Enthusiast for the Two Thousand Guineas, with Pioneer and Miguel close up. This form was palpably all wrong ; but why, it is difficult to say. Won the Newmarket Stakes, the Derby, Famons Horsesr 361 the Prince of Wales' Stakes at Ascot (carrying the extreme penalty of 101b.), the Doncaster St. Leg-er, the Lancashire Phite at Manchester, and the Eoyal Stakes at Newmarket. During his two and three -year- old career, Donovan won in stakes alone no less than 55,154/. lO-y. His career at the stud will be watched with interest, his breeding (on the dam's side) being better than that of St. Simon (the latter being a double- dyed Bhicklock), whilst his conformation is faultless, and his performances most l)rilliant and varied. AIVIPHION, a golden chestnut son of Speculum or Rosebery (probably the latter ; but, in either case, the blood is much the same, Rosebery being a son of Speculum), — Suicide by Hermit, — Ratcatcher's Daughter by Rataplan, was foaled in 188G. Amphion had no very special engage- ments, and the classic events were considered quite beyond him, although he afterwards proved himself to be one of the very best horses of modern times. He was a strongly built, powerful, and lengthy colt, with a beauty of outline that is seldom excelled in a racehorse, and a marvellous length of stride. Principal Performances. 1888. Won the Champagne Stakes at Stockbridge, and the Great Kingston Two-Year-Old Stakes at Sandown. 1889. Won the Jubilee Stakes at Kempton Park, and the Fernhill Stakes and New Biennial at Ascot. Goodwood (8st. 131b. up) : Second for the Stewards' Cup, a splendid performance. IS 90. Won the Hardwicke Stakes at Ascot easily, giving 161b. to both Surefoot and Sainfoin, the winners, respectively, of the Two Thousand Guineas and Derby. Manchester : Won the Lancashire Plate. ENTHUSIAST, a chestnut son of Sterling, — Cherry Duchess by The Duke, — Mirella by Gemma-di-Vergy (son of Sir Hercules), — Lady Roden by West Australian, w^as foaled in 1886. Principal Performances. 1888. Newmarket : Second for both the Criterion Stakes and the Middle Park Plate. 1889. Newmarket: Won the Two Thousand Guineas, beating Donovan a head. 85 — .20 on Donovan, 25 — 1 against Enthusiast. Unplaced for both the Derby and the St. Leger won by Donovan. L'ABBESSE DE JOUARRE, a black dau. of Trappist (by Hermit),— Festive by Carnival, — Piercy by Atherstone, — Fair Agnes by Voltigeur, was foaled in 1886, and won the Oaks of 1889, beating Minthe by a neck. Ml NTH E, a bay dau. of Camballo, — Mintsauce (dam of Minting and The Lambkin) by Young Melbourne, was bred by Mr. Vyner in 1886. Principal Performances. 1888. Ran several times unsuccessfully. 1889. Newnnarket : Won the One Thousand Guineas. Epsom : Beaten a neck by L'Abbesse de Jouarre for the Oaks. Doncaster : Won the Park Hill Stakes. SAINFOIN. (From a photograph bj- H. E. Sherbovn.) SAINFOIN, a chestnut son of Springfield, — Sanda by Wenlock, — Sandal by Stockwell, — Lady Evelyn by Don John, was bred in the Royal Paddocks, at Hampton Court, in 1887 ; and purchased as a yearling by Mr. John Porter for 800 guineas. Sainfoin stood fifteen hands "three inches high. Principal Performances. 1889. Upon his only appearance in public as a two-year-old Sainfoin, though hardly up to the mark in condition, and ridden by a stable boy, won the Astley Stakes at Lewes somewhat easily. 1890. Sandown : Won the Esher Stakes. Sainfoin was now purchased by Sir James MiUer for 6000 guineas and contingencies. Chester: Won the Dee Stakes. Epsom : Won the Derby. This race will long be remembered for the unexpected defeat of Surefoot, who had w^on the Two Thousand Gruineas very easily. After rounding Tattenham Corner, Watts always held a good position with Sainfoin ; and, taking the lead just below the distance, he won cleverly by three-quarters of a length, the queer- tempered Le Nord being second, a neck only in front of Orwell. Famous TTorfiPS. 363 Ascot : Second to Ampliion for the Hardwicke Stakes — 1^ miles — with Siu'efoot again behind. Doncaster : Unplaced for the St. Leger. lYIEIYIOIR (own sister to La Fleche), a brown dau. of St. Simon, — Quiver hy Yonuo- Melbourne, — Brown Bess by Camel, was bred at the Royal Paddocks, Hampton Court, in 1887. Standing just sixteen hands, Memoir resembled very considerably her younger sister, the peerless La Fleche, each having the same slightly hollowed back, well arched ribs, and sloping shoulders. Memoir was one of a trio of fillies foaled to St. Simon in his very first season at the stud, the other two being those speedy young ladies Signorina and Semolina. Principal Performances. 1889. Memoir ran but indifferently as a two-year-old, but she made great improvement during tlie ensuing winter. 1890. Newmarket : Second to Semolina for the One Thousand Gruineas. As the race was run Memoir could have won easily ; but the Duke of Portland had declared to win with Semolina. Newmarket : Won the Newmarket Stakes. Epsom : Won the Oaks, the field including Signorina, who was, however, but a shadow of her former self, owing to a wasting illness. Goodwood : Won the Nassau Stakes. Doncaster : Won the St. Leger. Memoir's preparation had been interrupted to a considerable extent ; and the race itself was a chapter of accidents. SUREFOOT, a bay son of Wisdom, — a dau. of Galopin, — Miss Foote by Orlando, — Grossamer by Birdcatcher, — Cast Steel by Whisker, was foaled in 1887. Principal Performances. 1889. Epsom : Won the Woodcote Stakes. Ascot : Won the New Stakes. Groodwood : Won the Findon Stakes. 1890. Newmarket: Won the Two Thousand Gruineas, Le Nord second. Epsom : Unplaced for the Derby. During the race Surefoot endeavoured to savage Rathbeal ; and Liddiard was blamed for not going to the front with him earlier in the race ; but the fact was Surefoot could not stay much over a mile, although he showed really brilliant form at that distance. SEIYIOLINA, a very small brown dau. of St. Simon, — Mowerina (dam also of Donovan) by Scottish Chief), was bred by the Duke of Portland in 1887. Principal Performances. 1889. Semolina was almost invincible as a two-year-old ; and carried everything before her until she failed to carry a heavy weight successfully over the trying course at Leicester. 1890. Newmarket : Won the One Thousand Gruineas. COMMUN. (Painted by M. Emil Adam, and reproduced by permission from a photo by Messrs. Franz Hanfstaengl.) COIVIIYION, a whole brown son of Isonomy, — Thistle (dam also of Throstle and Groldfinch) by Scottish Chief (son of Lord of the Isles), — Flower Safety by Wild Dayrell, — Nettle by Sweetmeat, — Wasp by Muley Moloch, — a dau. of Emilius, was bred by Sir Frederick Johnstone in 1888. Standing over sixteen hands, and built altogether on a large scale. Common was not hurried in his training, and did not appear in public at all as a two-year- old. Principal Performances. 1891. Upon his first appearance Common won the Two Thousand Gruineas easily, Orvieto second, Peter Flower third. Epsom : Won the Derby easily, in very heavy going, the field including Grouverneur, The Deemster, and Peter Flower, &c. Ascot : Won the St. James' Palace Stakes. Sandown : Beaten for the Eclipse Stakes by the erratic Surefoot and Gouverneur, after a close race ; Grouverneur being in receipt of 31b., with Memoir and Orion also in the field. Doncaster : Won the St. Leger by a length, after ha^dng to be hard ridden for the last half-mile, Eeverend, St. Simon of the Pock, and Bosphorus all being close ujd. This was Common's last Faiiiot(.s Horses. 365 appearance on a racecourse ; and, during- the ensuing winter, he was purchased by Sir J. Blundell Maple for 15,000/. Common was just a sound useful horse in a very moderate year, but scarcely entitled in point of merit to anything like an equal position with the other wearers of the " triple crown " — West Australian, Gladiateur, Lord Lyon, Ormonde, and Isinglass. lYIIIVIl, a bay dan. of Barcaldine, — a dau. of Lord Lyon, — Sadie by Voltigeur, — Julia by Launcelot, — Miss Nancy by Cain, was foaled in 1888. Principal Performances. 1891. Newmarket: Won the One Thousand Gruineas easily, and the Newmarket Stakes, the field including Melody (second), Orion, Peter Flower, and Orvieto. Epsom : Won the Oaks in a canter, Corstorphine second. Doncaster : Not placed for the St. Leger won by Common. Newmarket : Won the Zetland Stakes. ORVIETO, a raking bay son of Bend Or, — Napoli by Macaroni, — Sunshine by Thormanby, — Sunbeam by Chanticleer, was foaled in 1888. Orvieto had great length of fore -hand and quarter, and stood over a deal of ground. His action was best suited to a hill. Principal Performances. 1891. Newmarket: Second to Common for the Two Thousand Guineas. Ascot (9st. lib.) : Beaten a head by Melody (8st. 91b.) for the Prince of Wales' Stakes. Newmarket : Won the Midsummer Plate. Goodwood : Won the Sussex Stakes in a canter. York : Won the Great Yorkshire Stakes. Doncaster : Won the Doncaster Stakes. Newmarket : Won the Newmarket St. Leger, the Newmarket Derby, and the Free Handicap.

Goodwood : Won the Ham Stakes, and the Prince of Wales' Stakes. Newmarket : Won the Champion Stakes, the field including Memoir, Mimi, St. Serf, and Orvieto. Twelve thousand guineas were refused for Orion. 1891. Early this year Orion met with a slight accident ; but at Newmarket, in October, he won the Champion Stakes, the held including Signorina, who just previously had won the Lancashire Plate, in which she defeated Orme. ORME (Painted by M. Emil Adam, and reproduced by permission from a photo by Messrs. Franz Hanfstaengl.) ORIYIE, a bay son of Ormonde, — Angelica (sister to St. Simon) by Gralopin, was bred by the Duke of Westminster at Eaton Hall in 1889. While the sire of Orme was one of the two greatest horses of the century, his dam (Angelica) was sister to the other. The conformation of Orme indicated speed, and it is very doubtful indeed whether he could get more than a mile and a quarter comfortably. Principal Performances. 1891. Groodwood : Won the Richmond Stakes and the Prince of Wales' Stakes. Manchester : Beaten half-a-length by Signorina for the Lancashire Plate, Orme having the worst of the luck in the race. Newmarket : Won the Middle Park Plate easily. Also won the Dewhurst Plate, and the Home-bred Foal Stakes. 1892. In the spring Orme went completely wrong from some unexplained cause, and was withdi-awn from both the Two Thousand Gruineas and Derby. He won the Eclipse Stakes at Sandown, however, after a good race with Orvieto ; and carried off the Sussex Stakes at Groodwood after a severe struggle with Watercress ; but failed to get a place in the race for Famous Horses. 367 the Doncaster St. Leger. Up to this time it is probable that Orme had not fully recovered from his illness of the spring. At Newmarket, in the autumn, he won the Grreat Foal Stakes ; the Champion Stakes, beating Orvieto ; and the Limekiln Stakes, giving 91b. to El Diablo, with Sir Hugo and Orvieto also in the field. 1898. Ascot : Won the Eons Memorial. Sandown : Won the valuable Eclipse Stakes for the second time, the field including La Fleche. Groodwood : Won tbe Gordon Stakes, beating La Fleche (in receipt of 71b.) by a neck, with Watercress beaten six lengths. LA F LEG HE, (sister to Memoir), a good Yorkshire brown dan. of St. Simon, standing about fifteen hands two inches high, was bred at the Eoyal Stud, at Hampton Court, in 1889, and sold in 1890 to Baron Hirsch for 5000 guineas, a price very considerably higher than any previously given for a yearling. La Fleche, though somewhat shelly and light of bone, was gifted with the beautiful greyhound-like action with which the St. Simons are generally endowed, and a grander mover, when fully extended, has seldom graced the Turf. Principal Performances. 1891. Newmarket : Won the Chesterfield Stakes. Groodwood: Won the Lavant and Molecomb Stakes. Doncaster : Won the Champagne Stakes. 189.2. Newmarket: Won the One Thousand Gruineas easily. Epsom: Beaten three parts of a length by Sir Hugo for the Derby. La Fleche was evidently not herself at this time ; as, two days afterwards, she had considerable difficulty in winning the Oaks, such a moderate animal as The Smew runnuig her to a short head. La Fleche was a shy feeder when away from home. Groodwood : Won the Nassau Stakes. Doncaster : Won the St. Leger easily, the field including Sir Hugo (second), Orme, and Watercress. Manchester : Won the Lancashire Plate. Newmarket : Won the (Irand Duke Michael Stakes and the Newmarket Oaks. Won the Cambridgeshire easily with 8st. 101b. in the saddle. 1893. Won the Liverpool Autumn Cup. 1894. Ascot: Won the Grold Cup. Newmarket: Won the Champion Stakes. SIR HUGO, a chestnut son of Wisdom, — Manoeu\Te by Lord Clifden, — C^uick March by Rataplan, — (^ui Vive by Voltigeur, — Mrs. Eidgway by Birdcatcher, was foaled in 1889. Principal Performances. 1892. Epsom : Won the Derby, La Fleche second. Doncaster : Second to La Fleche for the St. Leger. 1893. Newmarket: Won the Biennial easily. His last race. BON AVISTA, a brown son of Bend Or, — Vista by Macaroni, — Verdure by King Tom, was foaled in 1889 ; and won the Two Thousand Gruineas of 189.2, St. Angelo second. Curio third. ISINGLASS. (Painted liy M. Eniil Adam, and reproduced by permission from a photo liy Messrs. Franz Hanfstaengl.) ISINGLASS, a lengthy and well-balanced briglit bay son of Isonomy, — Deadlock by Wenlock, — Malpractice by Chevalier d'Industrie, — Dutch- man's Daughter by The Flying Dutchman, — Eed Eose by Eubini (son of St. Patrick), — Sweetbriar, was bred by Mr. McCalmont in 1890. Deadlock (the dam of Isinglass) had been such a persistent failure at the stud that she was looked upon as worthless, and was put to draught purposes ; until Mr. McCalmont, taking a fancy to her, purchased her for 20/. Standing a shade over sixteen hands, and lean and somewhat light- framed, Isinglass, perhaps the handsomest son of Isonomy, is gifted with perfect manners, though lazy, and said to be somewhat tricky in the stable. His action is of the long sweeping type, and his hind leverage enormous, while his speed and stamina are most pronounced. Principal Performances. 1892. Isinglass won the New Stakes at Ascot, and the Middle Park Plate, both in very easy fashion, Eavensbury, Le Nicham, and Eaeburn being his immediate followers in the latter. In 1893 he carried the scarlet and light blue quarterings of Mr. McCalmont first past the post for the Two Thousand Gruineas, the Newmarket Stakes, the Derby, and St. Leger, the unfortunate Eavensbury being the runner-up Famom Horses. 3G9 on each occasion. Mancliester Septeml)iM- -. Failed to give lOlb. to Raeburn over tlie Ir.uicasliire Plate course, La Fleclie being third, liaebnrn was a smart horse when well, and this was abont the right form. 189-1.. Newmarket July (lOst. ;ilb.) : Won the Princess of Wales' Stakes by a head only from Bullingdon (Sst. 131b.), after a desperate race, with Ladas (Ost. 51b.) beaten three lengths away, and St. Florian, Ravensbury, Priestholme, and llaeljurn also in the field. The aggregate value of these horses was estimated to have been at the time 7 5, ()()() guineas. Priestholme cut out the running at such a terrific pace that the whole field, himself included, were soon beaten. Isinglass appeared to be in difficulties soon after half the journey had been completed ; but Loates never relaxed his efforts, plying the whip freely, and the son of Isonomy struggled on with indomitable courage, though Bullingdon, in spite of havinsr been somewhat interfered with, would have won had the race been a stride or two further. Time, Imin. 4Sfsec., which is slow, the record time for a mile being Imin. 85^sec. Sandown Park : Won the Eclipse Stakes. " Ladas, passing Ravensbury, challenged Isinglass, and a loud shout went up in his favour, as Loates at once commenced to ride hard. For the remainder of the distance both Derby winners were called upon to do their level best ; but the last hundred yards of that tiring ascent saw the brilliant challenge of Ladas die out ; and Isinglass, retaining his advantage, won by a length." Watts afterwards acknowledged that " the best horse won ; " and Jewitt had no anxiety as to the result, coolly remarking during the race, — " It's all right ; they don't know what they are taking on this time." It is a long time since we had such a four-year-old as Isinglass ; and he is certainly a horse to be proud of. lYIRS. BUTTERWICK, a small bay dan. of St. Simon,— Miss Middle- wick by Scottish Chief, — Violet by Thormanby, was foaled in 1890. Principal Performances. 1898. After comparatively moderate antecedents, Mrs. Butterwick unexpectedly won the Oaks, Tressure being second, and Cy|ma third. 1894. Northampton: Won Earl Spencer's Plate. SIFFLEUSE, a dark chestnut dan. of Saraband (by Muncaster), — Assay by Sterling, — Lady Highthorn by Stock well, — Lady Elizabeth by Sleight of Hand, was foaled in 1890. Principal Performances. 1893. Newmarket : Won the One Thousand Gruineas by a head from Dame President, with Tressure third. York : Won the Yorkshire Oaks.

LADAS, a wliole-coloured dark bay, or bro^ai, son of Hampton,^ — Illiiminata (dam of Kinsky) by Rosicrncian, — Paraffin by Blair Athol, — Paradigm (dam of Lord Lyon and Achievement), was bred by the Earl of Rosebery in 1S9L Standing over sixteen hands, and of exceptional length and quality, Ladas, in his fore-hand, decidedly favours the Rosicrucian family ; but his hind quarters, together with his immense stride and light and smooth style of going, remind one of the Lord Clifden line of Newminster. Principal Performances. 1893. Owing to his never having been tried, Ladas, upon his first appearance in public, in the Woodcote Stakes, started at 10 — 1, winning, however, very easily, Glare being the best of his opponents. Ascot : Won the Coventry Stakes, the field including Bullingdon and Arcano. Doncaster : Won the Champagne Stakes. Newmarket : Won the Middle Park Plate by two lengths, Jocasta second. 1894. Newmarket: Won the Two Thousand Guineas. " Matchbox, under pressure, assumed the lead below the Bushes ; but Ladas, pulling over him, dashed to the front as they entered Famoiif< Jlori^ox. 871 the Abingdon Mile bottom ; and, gamely tbough Matchbox struggled, the son of Illuminata won by a length and a half, amidst a roar of enthusiasm, and in a style unapproached since the victory of Macgregor." It is said that, at this time, Matthew Dawson considered Ladas to be the best horse he had ever had under his care ; and such a good judge as Mr. Henry Chaplin stated that he had never seen a finer animal. Newmarket : Won the Newmarket Stakes. Epsom : Won the Derby. " Below the distance. Matchbox, gamely answering to the call of Morny Cannon, put Ladas fairly on his mettle ; and, once on terms. Cannon rode in desperate earnest, AYatts, meanwhile, sitting unmoved on Ladas ; until, under pressure, Matchbox began to hold his own, and even to forge slightly ahead Then, as in the Guineas, Watts called upon Ladas ; and, in half-a-dozen strides, the verdict was placed beyond doubt." Reminder was third, and Bullingdon unplaced. Newmarket July : Prince of AVales' Stakes. " Long before reaching the foot of the hill, Ladas (9st. 51b.) was beaten, and fainted away to nothing all the way up ; or, rather, never made the semblance of an effort." AVatts remarked afterwards that Ladas " wouldn't gallop." Sandown Park : Eclipse Stakes. Beaten again by Isinglass. "From the distance it was a fair trial between the two Derby winners ; but Isinglass, retaining the advantage he had gained, passed the post a length in front, with Ravensbury beaten three lengths from Ladas, and Throstle and Eaeburn unplaced. Doncaster : Second to Throstle for the St. Leger, Matchbox third, Amiable fourth. MATCHBOX, a bay son of St. Simon,— Matchgirl by Plebeian,— Fusee (dam of St. Blaise) by Marsyas, was bred by Sir Frederick Johnstone in 1891. " Standing fully sixteen hands, and of rare length and libei-ty, with perfect temper and action. Matchbox is of quite a different type to the general run of the St. Simons. He is perhaps a trifle flat-sided; but in all other respects the model of a high-class racehorse." Principal Performances. 1893. Won the Great Produce Stakes at Kempton, and the Dewdiurst Plate. 1894. Second to Ladas for both the Two Thousand and Derby. Goodwood : Won the Sussex Stakes. Beaten for the Doncaster St. Leger by both Throstle and Ladas. Newmarket Second October : Won the Lowther Stakes, beating Ravensbury and Greyleg. B B 2 pio THROSTLE. (From a photo by Mr. C. Hailey, of Ordnance-road, St. John's Wood.) THROSTLE, a bay dau. of Petrarch, — Thistle (dam also of Common and Goldfinch) by Scottish Chief, was bred by Lord Alington, and foaled at Welbeck in 1891. Standing just under sixteen hands, Throstle is a fine raking filly ; but of a most peculiar temperament. When foaled, a film covered her eyes ; and, remaining in this condition for three months. Lord Alington at one time thought of having her destroyed. She was afterwards given away ; but the intended recipient not thinking it worth while to send for her, she remained in the Kingsclere stable. Principal Performances. 1893. Troubled very much with splints, Throstle only ran thrice as a two-year-old, her best attempt being to run second to Speed for the Chesterfield Stakes at Newmarket. 1894. Punning disappointingly in the One Thousand Gruineas, it was not thought worth while to send her to Epsom for the Oaks. In the Coronation Stakes she only just got the best of the moderate Eoyal Victoria, with Amiable, who was actually giving 2()lb., beaten only three lengths; and in the Eclipse Stakes she had Isinglass, Ladas, and Eavensbury in front of her. Although Throstle won the Nassau Stakes at Groodwood easily, it was reported that she had turned jady and had taken to bolting while at Famous Horses. 373 exercise, so tliat lier j^rice at tlie start for tlie St. Leger was 50 — 1, her mission being merely to make running for Matchbox, the stable being of opinion that she could not stay more than a mile and a quarter. Abso- lutely refusing to go to the front, she actually dropped back last ; but, nearing the Eed House, Mornington Cannon persuaded her to go up to the leaders. Shortly afterwards, however, she appeared beaten; and had to be pulled out in order to avoid striking into the heels of Ladas. Waking up suddenly, however, the mare was all life and fire ; and her long, low stride and superior stamina (now so evident) quickly telling, she finally won a most remarkably run race by three- quarters of a length from Ladas ; Amiable, beaten two lengths, being third; the time, 3min. 1 If sec, being the fastest on record. In the Jockey Club Stakes at Newmarket, Throstle bolted out of the course when half a mile had been covered. It would seem just possible that she had never quite recovered her sight, and that a wide expanse such as that of Newmarket Heath rendered her nervous and upset her altogether; while, on the other hand, she would perform brilliantly on a railed-in course ; and her record, both in public and private, would seem to bear out this supposition. At Kempton Park, in the Duke of York Stakes, Cannon kept her on the inside all the way ; with the result, however, that when he attempted to get through, he was hopelessly shut in, and could only finish fourth. In the Selection Stakes at Sandown, Best Man, Avington, and Throstle (in blinkers) ran a splendid race at weight for age, half a length and a neck only separating the three at the finish. Three furlongs from home. Throstle appeared quite out of it, and did not seem to be doing her best ; but she was drawing closer to Avington at every stride in the last hundred yards. AMIABLE, a bay dau. of St. Simon,— Tact by Wisdom,— Enigma by The Ptake (son of Wild Dayrell), — The Sphynx by Newminster, — Madame Stodare by Sleight of Hand, — Sister to Leconfield, was bred by the Duke of Portland in 1891. Principal Performances. 1893. The form of Amiable as a two-year-old was, like Throstle's, not particularly brilliant. 1894. Newmarket: Won the One Thousand Guineas. Epsom: Won the Oaks. "A quarter of a mile from home La Nievre coUapsed in half-a-dozen strides ; and when, below the distance, Sweet Duchess shot out a 'turn-up' seemed in store; but Amiable, rapidly overhauling the leaders, ultimately won by three-quarters of a length, making the fourth winner of the Oaks to the credit of St. Simon within the last five years." During this season Amiable was afflicted with very pronounced stringhalt in both hind legs, which evidently, however, did not interfere with her action when galloping. B B b SIR VISTO. (Photo by W. A. Houch, Jtil, Strand, W.C.) SIR VISTO, a son of Barealdine, — Vista (winner of the Great Metropolitan of 18S3, and dam also of Bonavista and Velasquez) by Macaroni, was bred by the Earl of Rosebery at Mentniore. A bay with black points, and standing- fully sixteen hands. Sir Visto possessed fine length and liberty of action, with, as Mr. Peck remarked at Epsom, "the best shoulders, fore-ribs, and heart-room seen for many a day " ; but he required time to settle down in his races, and, therefore, did not show to advantage in short spins. Principal Performances. 1894. Sir Visto did not shine as a two-year-old, not being thoroughly wound up, and starting but twice. 1895. Finished third for both Two Thousand Guineas and Newmarket Stakes. Won the Derby. Brought up with a rush by Sam Loates, Sir Visto snatched the verdict from Curzon and Kirkconnel, thus enabling Lord Rosebery to achieve the rare distinction of winning the Derby in two successive years. Sir Visto was the first direct descendant of the Godolphin Barb to win the Derby since the victory of Blink Bonny Fanxju-s Horses. 37'3i5 in 1S57. Matthew Dawson, the trainer of both Ladas and Sir Visto, considered the former to be fully 141b. the better horse. Curzon, who finished second for the Derby, rapidly deteriorated until he finally became but a most indifferent selling-plater. In 181)6 Sir A'isto ran five times without scorino' a win. KIRKCONNEL, a bay son of Eoyal Hampton, — Sweet Sauce by Blair Athol, — Trieste by Plum Pudding, — Trireme by lago, — the AVarwick mare by Ardrossan, was bred by Lady Stamford, and sold at the annual sale of the Park Paddock yearlings to Mr. W. Cooper for 520 guineas. Royal Hampton was a son of Hampton, — Princess by King Tom,- — Mrs. Lincoln by North Lincoln, — a dau. of Bay Middleton, — West Country Lass by Venison. North Lincoln was by Pylades, — Cherokee. A bay without white, save for a tiny star on the forehead, and standing fifteen three, Kirkconnel was an excellent specimen of the low, level type of thoroughbred. His perfectly placed shoulders indicated great speed, while behind the saddle it was impossible to find a fault. Unfortunately, however, he was of an extremely unreliable temperament. Principal Performances. 1894. Won the July and Lavant Stakes. At the Newmarket December Sales, Kirkconnel was purchased, with his engage- ments, by Sir J. Blundell Maple, for 5()0U guineas. 1895. AVon the Two Thousand Guineas. Nearing the winning post. Sir A^isto gradually lost ground ; and Kirkconnel, who ran in blinkers, challenging Laveno, stayed the race out well, and won by a length. Isinglass and Kirkconnel each covered the Eowley Alile, in their Two Thousand Guineas races, in Imin. 42fsec., this being, so far, record time, the previous best time, Imin. 43sec., having been made by Diophantus in 18G1. In 1897, however, Galtee More again beat the record, covering the course in Imin. lOfsec, while in 1900 Diamond Jubilee won in Imin. 41fsec. In 1896 Kirkconnel ran five times ; and, like Sir Visto, unsuccessfully on each occasion. LA SAG ESSE, a bay dau. of AA^isdom, — St. Mary by Hermit, — Adelaide by Young Alelbourne, — a dau. of Teddington, — Alaid of Alasham by Don John, won the Oaks of 1895. GALEOTTIA. a bay dau. of Galopin, — Agave by Springfield, — AVood Anemone by King of the Forest, — Crocus by Thormanby, — Sunflower by Bay Aliddleton, won the One Thousand Guineas of 1895. King of the Forest was by Scottish Chief, — Lioness by Fandango. Both Galeottia and La Sagesse had run very indifferently as two-year-olds. B ii 4 From a i'uiiitdiy by (Japtam Adam Jones. PERSIMMON (j. WATTS UP). PERSIIYIIYION (brother to Diamond Jubilee and Florizel), a bay son of St. Simon, — Perdita II. by Hampton,— Hermione by Young Melbourne, — La Belle Helene by St. Albans, — Teterrima by Voltigeui-, — Ellen Mid- dleton, was bred by H.E.H. tlie Prince of Wales. Principal Performances. 1895. Won the Coventry and Richmond Stakes. 1896. Won the Derby. Soon after turning into the straight, St. Frusquin, shaking off Bay Ponald, drew out ; but was at once challenged by Persimmon, the pair drawing rapidly away from the rest of the runners ; and the excitement became intense when it was evident that the Prince's horse was gaining on his opponent. A hundred yards from home the bearer of the Royal colours got his head in front ; and, stalling off the efforts of St. Frusquin, carried the purple and scarlet and gold in triumph past the post, a neck in front of the blue and yellow of Baron Rothschild. The scene that ensued defies description, the enthusiasm being boundless ; and the climax was reached when the Prince of Wales, hat in hand, walked into the F(niio//>i TTorscs. 373d centre of the square formed outside the saddling paddock, and, with beaming countenance, led his colt to the door of the weighing room. Persimmon having also won the St. Leger, finished up his three-year-old season by defeating the winners of the Two Thousand, Derby, and St. Leger of 1895 in the race for the Jockey Club Stakes. The Ascot Gold Cup of 1896 was won by Isinglass. In 1897 Persimmon won the Eclipse Stakes, defeating Velasquez ; Watts, however, having to ride the Prince's horse for some little distance for all he was worth. The career of Persimmon at the stud opened in the most brilliant fashion ; as, at the Newmarket July Sales of 1900, his yearling filly out of Ornament realised the marvellous price of 10,000 guineas, the previous record price for a yearling filly being the 4500 guineas given for La Fleche in 1890. ST. FRUSQUIN, a brown son of St. Simon, — Isabel by Plebeian, — Parma by Parmesan, — Archeress by Longbow, - Fingle by Slane, — Vibration, was bred by Baron Rothschild. Plebeian was a son of Joskin, — Queen Elizabeth by Autocrat, — Bay Rosalind by Orlando, — Elopement. Joskin was a son of West Australian, — Peasant (lirl by The Major, — Glance. Autocrat was by Bay Middleton, — Empress. Principal Performances of St. Frusquin. 1895. Won the Middle Park Plate (defeating the speedy Omladina and Persimmon) and the Dewhurst Plate. 1890. Won the Two Thousand Guineas. Beaten a neck by Persimmon in the Derby. In the Prince of Wales' Stakes at the Newmarket July Meeting, St. Frusquin, with a 31b. pull in the weights, defeated his Epsom conqueror by half a length, the winners of the Two Thousand, Derby, and St. Leger of 1895 being unplaced. St. Frusquin also won the Eclipse Stakes, this being his final appearance on the Turf. CANTERBURY PILGRIIYI, a chestnut dau. of Tristan (by Hermit),— Pilgrimage by The Palmer, was bred by the Duchess of Montrose ; and, at the break up of the Sefton Stud, was purchased by Lord Stanley, acting probably for the Earl of Derby, for 1800gs. Principal Perform- ances. 1895. Being backward ran indifferently. 1890. Won the Oaks, Park Hill Stakes, Liverpool Cup, and Jockey Club Cup. THAIS, a brown dau. of St. Serf (by St. Simon, — Ferula by Tlior- manby, — Woodbine), — Poetry by Petrarch, — Music by Stockwell, was bred by H.E.H. the Prince of Wales. Principal Performances. 1895. Ran but moderately. 1896. Won the One Thousand Guineas, Santa Maura, beaten a head, being second. Thais retired from tlie Turf at the end of her three-year-old season.

GALTEE MORE, u Ijay son of Kendal (hy Bend Or,— AVindermere by Macaroni, — Miss Agnes by Birdcatcher), — Morganette (for whom Mr. Gubbins gave bnt the trifle of £50) by Springfield,— Lady Morgan l)y Thormanby,^ — -Morgan La Faye by Cowl, — Miami, was bi-ed in Ireland. Of great size, but without an atom of lumber; of high courage, but with a beautifully equitable temperament, Galtee More was one of the finest horses seen for many a year. Principal Performances. LS96. Won the Middle Park Plate by six lengths from Yelasquez, this being the only defeat of the latter as a two-year-old. 1897. Won the Two Thousand Guineas in a common canter. Time, Imin. 40fsec., the fastest on record. After the race an offer of £25,000 for Galtee More was refused. With the Newmarket Stakes but an exercise canter for the son of Kendal, the Derby resolved itself into a match more than a quarter of a mile from home ; and, although Velasquez ran his race out bravely to the end, he signally failed to disturb Galtee More, who won easily. At the start for the Doncaster St. Leger, 10 — 1 was laid on the Derby winner. Goletta, fighting for her head, made the greater part of the Famous Horses. 373r rimninc^, but gave way ere the distance was reached ; and Galtee More, whom Wood had been driving with liis hands, assuming the command, was challenged by both St. Cloud and Silver Fox, Chelandry also shooting np on the right, and an exciting race ensued, Graltee More ultimately winning a falsely run race by three-quarters of a length from Chelandry, with St. Cloud and Silver Tox close up. In May, 1898, Galtee ]\I()re was sold to the Russian Government for £.21,000. VELASQUEZ, a whole-coloured bay son of Donovan, — Vista (dam of Bonavista and Sir A^isto) by Macaroni, was bred by the Earl of liosebery at Mentmore. Principal Performances. 1890. Won the July, Prince of Wales', and Doncaster Champagne Stakes. IS97. Velasquez was unfortunate in having to meet in the principal races a horse of such exceptional merit as Galtee More ; but he finished up his three-year-old season by carrying off the Champion Stakes. CHELANDRY, a wiry bay dau. of Goldfinch (by Ormonde, — Common's dam), — Illuminata (dam of Ladas), was bred by the Earl of Posebery. Principal Performances. Is 90. Won the Woodcote and other important Stakes. 1897. Won the One Thousand Guineas easily in the fast time of Imin. 42|sec., Galatia being second, and Goletta third ; but was only a moderate second in the Oaks to the staying Limasol. In the St. Leger Chelandry ran a good race with Galtee More, though her forward position was probably due to the fact of the race being run at a false pace. LIIVIASOL, a chestnut dau. of Poulet (a son of Peut-etre, — Printanniere by Chattanooga, — Summerside by West Australian) — that sterling stayer Queen of Cyprus by King Tom, — Cypriana by Epirus, — the famous Cyprian by Partisan, ran but moderately in 1890, but won the Oaks of 1897 in most decisive style, defeating the winner of the One Thousand Guineas, Chelandry, by three lengths. Time, .2min. 45sec. It was in the autumn of 1897 that the famous American jockey, Tod Sloan, made his sensational drbfft on the English Turf, riding almost straight along his horse's neck, with his hands close to the bit, a very short stirrup, and the saddle more forward than usual, so that the weight is thrown on the horse's withers. His success was phenomenal, especially when riding in the face of strong winds. Other American jockeys, riding in the same style, rode in England during the seasons immediately following, their record of wins during the year 1900 being of an extra- ordinary character. American trainers, too, evinced great skill, many animals transferred to their care from English stables showing- immense improvement in form. CTLLENE (S. LOATES UP). (Photo by C. Ilailey, Newmarket.) CYLLENE, a light wiry chestnut, of exquisite quality and perfect action, by Bonavista, — Arcadia by Isonomy, — Distant Shore by Hermit, — Land's End by Trumpeter, — Faraway by Young Melbourne, — Maid of Masham by Don John, though not entered for the classic races was, undoubtedly, the chamj^ion of his year, Princi|)al Performances. 1897. Only defeated on one occasion as a two-year-old when he failed to give 101b. to Dieudonne. 1898. Won the Newmarket Stakes (the field including Jeddah, the subsequent Derby winner). Won the Jockey Club Stakes of £10,000 with the greatest ease, defeating Velasquez, Chelandry, and Airs and Graces. 1899. Won the Ascot Gold Cup, Loates almost pulling the colt up before reaching the winning post, stroking his mount with his right hand, and touching his cap in response to the cheers greeting Cyllene's victory. JEDDAH, an immensely powerful and bloodlike dark chestnut son of Janissary (by Isonomy, — Jannette by Jjord Clifden), — Pilgrimage (dam of Canterbury Pilgrim) by The Palmer, was purchased by Mr. Larnach (when in foal with Jeddah and nineteen years old at the time) at the sale of the Famons Horses. 373n stucl of the Duchess of Montrose. Like many of Isonomy's descendants, Persimmon, E-avensbury, and Common, for example, Jeddah was rather high on the leg, as, indeed, have been the majority of the best horses of recent years. He is full of Birdcatcher blood ; but is rather an outbred horse, his dam's breeding going back chiefly to other strains. Principal Performances. 1897. Very backward in his early days, Jeddah did not make much show as a two-year-old. 1898. Won the Derby, after a good race with Batt ; Dunlop, Dieudonne, and Wantage being all close up. WILDFOWLER, a chestnut son of Gallinule (by Tsonomy, — Moorhen by Hermit,— Sister to Ehys worth by Skirmisher, — Yertumna by Stock- well,— Garland),— Tragedy by Ben Battle,— The White Witch by Massinissa, — Jeu des Mots by King Tom, — Jeu d'Esprit by Platcatcher, was bred in Ireland. Isonomy and Moorhen, the sire and dam of Gallinule, always showed to best advantage in long distance races, as did also Ben Battle, the sire of Tragedy. A¥ildfowler was ever a difficult horse to train ; and, being attacked by influenza after the Two Thousand, it was found to be impossible to get him fit for the Derby. He did not run again until the Doncaster St. Leger, when, coming through his field a quarter of a mile from home, he caught Jeddah "hand over hand," and won easily by four lengths. DISRAELI, a neat, beautifully balanced, truly shaped, and Arab-like whole-coloured bay son of Galopin, — Laidy Yardley by Sterling, — Leda by Weatherbit, — Wish by Touchstone, — Hope by Muley Moloch, — a dau. of Peter Lely, was bred by Sir Tatton Sykes. Disraeli was the son of aged parents, Galopin being twenty-three and Lady Yardley eighteen at the time he was foaled. He won the Two Thousand Guineas of 1898 very easily, Jeddah shirking the contest to such an extent that Watts felt he had no chance so soon as he was in the saddle. At the distance Disraeli came up on the rails full of running, and, passing the pair of big bays (Ninus and Wantage), won by a length and a half. Wantage having a neck the best of Ninus. Disraeli broke down in the race for the Doncaster St. Leger. AIRS AND GRACES, a bay dau. of Ayrshire,— Lady Alwyne by Camballo,^Florence Aislabie by Young Melbourne, — Mary Aislabie ])y Malcolm, — a dau. of Actseon, — Beatrice, won the Oaks of 1898. NUN NICER, a very fine bay dau. of Common, — Priestess by Hermit, — a dau. of Lord Lyon, — Sadie by Voltigeur, — Julia by Launcelot, was the winner of the One Thousand Guineas of 1898, beating Airs and Graces by a neck. FLYING FOX. (Photo by C. Hailey, Newmarket.) FLYING FOX, a bay son of Orme, — Vampire by (xalopin, — Irony by l^osebery, — h?arcasm by Breadalbaiie, — Jen d'i-sprit by Flatcatcher, was bred by the Duke of Westminster, and will ever be famous as the youngest of that wonderful line of high-class winners, in direct male line from sire to son, — The Baron — Stock well — Doncaster — Bend Or — Ormonde — Orme — Flying Fox, victors in four Derbies and four Legers, and in three contests for the ( luineas. Flying Fox is closely inbred to Vedette, his own dam Vampire, as well as Angelica (the dam of Orme), being by Galopin, while he gets a further cross of Vedette through Eosebery. Princij)al Performances. 1898. Won the Ascot, New, Stockbridge Foal, and Criterion Stakes. In the Imperial Produce Stakes he failed by a head to present 51b. to St. Oris ; and, in the Middle Park Plate, the all-conquering Sloan (on Caiman, who was in receipt of 31b.) got home a length and a half in front of him. 1899. Won the Two Thousand Guineas. Flying Fox was very restive at the post, and, thoroughly upset by a breakaway, kept dashing about all over the course. He was well away, however, when the flag fell, and from the Bushes Cannon was simply playing with his field, turning in his saddle, time after Famous Horses. 373k time to look for the opposition that did not exist. Caiman, who finished second, was the only one to persevere to the end, Trident being probably second best. Won the Derby. Holocauste held the lead nntil well in the line for home. In a moment, however, a dramatic change came o'er the scene ; Holocanste, pecking, half recovered himself, and then, pecking again, began to swerve badly. Sloan dismonnting on the instant, the horse was found to have splintered his off fore-pastern, and had to l)e destroyed. Flying Fox won easily by two lengths, Damocles being second, and Insurance third, and during this season he also won the Princess of Wales' Stakes, Eclipse Stakes, Doncaster St. Leger, and Jocke3' Clul) Stakes, having, during his short career, won no less than £40,000 in stakes. It was in December, l.s<)9, that the Duke of Westminster died, and, at the sale of his stud in March, 1900, Flying Fox was purchased by Monsieur E. Blanc for the record price of £37,500, and left the shores of England for France a few days later. SI BO LA, a bay dau. of The Sailor Prince (by Albert Victoi-),--Saluder ])y Mortemer, was the winner in 1.^99 of the One Thousand Guineas, Champion Breeders' Foal Stakes, and Scarborough Stakes. MUSA, a l)ay dau. of Martagon (by Bend Or,^Tiger Lily by Macaroni, — Polly Agnts l)y The Cure, — Miss Agnes by Birdcatcher), — Palm Flower by The Palmer, — Jenny Diver by Buccaneer, — Fairy by Warlock, — Leila by Melbourne, — Meeanee, won the Oaks of 1899. Sibola at the start was left ten lengths, but Sloan got her up to the front at Tattenhani Corner. Halfway down the straight Corposant was beaten, and the issue was left to Sibola and Musa, the latter of whom in a fine finish got home by a head. MATTHEW DAWSON— rare old Matt— the doyen of trainers, died in August, 1S98, at his house, Waterloo Lodge, Newmarket. The Dawson family, as trainers, figure very prominently in the history of the Turf. Matthew became the most celebrated of the four brothers, sons of (leorge Dawson of Gullane, who trained horses there prior to the twenties. Amongst the employers of Matthew Dawson were the Duke of New- castle, the Duke of St. Albans, Lord Lascelles, Lord Falmouth, the Duke of Portland, and Lord Hastings. For a dozen years or more the com- bination of Lord Falmouth, Matthew Dawson, and Fred Archer was well nigh invincible. Back in his earlier career Dawson considered Touch- stone, Alice Hawthorn, Beeswing, West Australian, and Thormanby as the bright particular stars of their respective days ; and, as regards later times, he held an exalted opinion of his old favourite St. Simon, as well as a very high opinion of Ormonde. Still, he recalled perhaps with greatest fondness the name of that magnificent sprinter — Prince Charlie. DIAMOND JUBILEE. (Photo by W. A. Eoueh, IGl, Strand. DIAMOND JUBILEE (brother to Persimmon and Florizel), a bay son of 8t. Simon, — Perdita II., was bred at Sandringham by H.P.H. the Prince of Wales. Principal Performances. 1S99. As a two-year-old the son of St. Simon faced the Hag on six occasions, his only win being when he got home by a head in the Boscawen Stakes at Newmarket. In the Jnly Stakes he parted company with his jockey just prior to the start, and galloped half the course before he was caught, finishing absolutely last in a field of six. His best races this season were those for the Middle Park and Dewhurst Plates, in each of which he appeared to be but slightly inferior to Democrat. 1900. Won the Two Thousand Guineas in a canter, Bonarosa being second three-parts of a length in front of Sidus, with Elopement (the favourite) fourth. Diamond Jubilee covered the course in Imin. 41fsec. The day was one for fast times, the last race (Rous Course) being done in GOfsec. Newmarket Stakes. The Prince's colt, as soon as Jones was in the saddle, repeatedly stood up on his hind legs and declined to budge an inch. When the " chifney " had been Famous Ilor.scs. 373m taken off, however, lie was quiet enougli. In tlie race Sloan, on Chevening, was all over the course, possibly with the idea of puzzling Jones ; and, on coming out of the dip, closed with Diamond Jubilee ; but the latter won an exciting race by a head. Epsom Derby. In the draw for places at the post, the extreme outside berth fell to the lot of the Prince's horse, who, moreover, was cannoned against when the flag fell. The first to break the line was Chevening, who led his field at a tremendous pace right into the straight, when he was . collared by Disguise II., who, in turn, was passed by the bearer of the Royal colours, while Simondale w^as close handy. A fine race home was witnessed, Jones, on Diamond Jubilee, riding most confidently, and his mount running as kindly as possible, stalled off Cannon's determined effort on Simondale, and passed the jjost a neck to the good, the result being heralded with a burst of enthusiastic cheering. A length away Disguise II. was third. Signally failing to present Merry Gal with 2 (lib. in the valuable Princess of Wales' Stakes, run over the Rowley Mile, Diamond Jubilee, over the ten furlongs at Sandown, won the Eclipse Stakes of 10,000 sovs. after a good race with Chevening, the latter being in receipt of lOlb., with Simondale beaten some distance ; and in a fast run race for the Doncaster St. Leger the Prince's horse won easily from Elopement and a moderate field. WIN I FREDA, a beautiful though small filly, by St. Simon,— Melody by Tynedale, — Grlee by Adventurer, — Sweet Sound by Rataplan, — Hybla by The Provost, was the winner of the One Thousand Gruineas of 1900. Tynedale was by Warlock, — Queen of the Tyne by Tomboy, — a dau. of Whisker, — a Phantom mare. Warlock was by Birdcatcher, — Elphine by Emilius, — Variation. Winifreda going to the front down Bushes Hill, was challenged in the Abingdon Mile bottom by Intpiisition, who, failing to get up, was easily beaten by three-quarters of a length. LA ROCHE, a hard bay and quite typical dau. of St. Simon, — Miss Mildred by Melton, — Merino by Young Melljourne, — Braxey by Moss Trooper (by Liverpool, — a dau. of Emilius), — Queen Mary by Gladiator. Won both the Oaks and Manchester Summer Cup of 1900 in a hack canter. In the Epsom race Lady Schomberg made most of the running ; but there was really only one in it. In her home gallop La Roche had proved herself quite the equal of Simondale. The Duke of Portland's stud farm at Welbeck this year sheltered no less than five winners of the Oaks, Wheel of Fortune, Memoir, Mrs. Butterwick, Amiable, and La Roche. ADDENDA TO II^DEX. NAME.
