1773 THE MISTEKS 119 



among the most memorable members of the Jockey 

 Club. Juniper, by the way, was imported into Vir- 

 ginia by Colonel Symme. 



Mr. GREVILLE (one of the Jockey Club signatories 

 in 1758) was the Hon. Fulke Greville, or Fulke 

 Greville, Esquire, a cadet of the house of Brooke and 

 Warwick, who won Jockey Club Plates in 1758, 1762, 

 1763, and 1765, with Mirza (by the Godolphin Arabian, 

 and bred by Lord Godolphin, but sold to Mr. Panton, 

 then to Mr. Swymmer for 100 guineas, then to Mr. 

 Greville for 450 guineas, then to Sir J. Lowther for 

 1,500 guineas), with Prospero, and (1763 and 1765) 

 with Dorrimond (or Dorimond), sold to Mr. Greville 

 by the ' Culloden ' Duke of Cumberland. This seems 

 to have been undoubtedly the Fulke Greville who (as 

 he was a sportsman) very much astonished our friend 

 Horace Walpole by writing * Maxims and Characters,' 

 and whose wife wrote the once well-known ' Ode to 

 Indifference,' or l Prayer for Indifference.' This Mr. 

 Greville was evidently a notable member of the Jockey 

 Club ; and of his house and lineage was another very 

 notable member of the Jockey Club in more recent 

 times, the Mr. C. C. Greville, Clerk of the Council, 

 confederate on the Turf for a time of the great Lord 

 G. Bentinck. 



Mr. HOLMES (or HOLME, according to disputed 

 orthography) is found among the signatories of the 

 Jockey Club in 1758, and is apparently identical with 

 a great Northern breeder of that name, John Holmes
