MR. PRYSE-PRYSE 183 



Lord Glenlyon, a Scotch nobleman, commenced racing 

 at Danebury in 1843, in my father's name, with Ben y 

 Ghlo and brother to Pharold, which were both winners. 

 The next year he raced in his own name, and had, besides 

 the two horses referred to, Hotspur, The Mountain, Glen- 

 croine, Lycuryus, and several others, which he ran with 

 fair success. Ben y Ghlo alone won him no less than 

 three cups, as many Queen's plates, and six or seven 

 other races. After his lordship's succession to the duke- 

 dom of Athole, he raced but little, and, so far as I know, 

 did nothing worthy of record. I never saw him ; in fact, 

 he never was at Danebury the whole of the time he 

 trained there. But I have always heard him spoken of 

 in the highest terms of admiration, as a nobleman who 

 raced neither for money nor anything else but the pleasure 

 of the sport. 



Mr. Pryse-Pryse, of Buscot Park, Aberystwith, a con- 

 temporary of Mr. Biggs before mentioned, was one of the 

 earliest patrons of Danebury, if he did not, like Lord 

 Palmerston, train with my grandfather at Houghton 

 Downs. He commenced racing in 1811, and between 

 that year and the time of his leaving the turf, in 1848, 

 had the following amongst many horses : Grimaldi, 

 Caliban, Bobtail Colt, Frances, Duplicate, Dr. Eady, 

 Cardinal Puff, and Buscot Buck. Of these the three 

 last named were probably the best, and won him many 

 races. 



Mr. Balph Etwall, another gentleman associated with 

 my recollections of Danebury, was for many years the 

 representative of Andover in the Liberal interest. He 

 was born in or near the town, about the year 1802, and 

 was the most ungainly person, and for a gentleman the 

 most uncouth, that I ever saw. His brother William, 

 brought up as a Bluecoat boy, was little, if any, more
