244 THE JOCKEY CLUB 1773- 



and to the South (where he died at ' Christie's ' in 

 St. James's Street, aged seventy- eight, on the Derby 

 Day singularly enough May 25, 1842) ; and on 

 the Turf it was his distinction to be the first person 

 to win both Derby and St. Leger with the same 

 horse (Champion, by PotSos), and to be the winner 

 both of the first Two Thousand (with Wizard, by 

 Sorcerer) in 1809, and of the first One Thousand 

 (with Charlotte, by Orville) in 1814. Enough dis- 

 tinction for any member of the Jockey Club, and not 

 dissimilar to Sir Charles Bunbury's with Diomed, 

 Eleanor, and Smolensko. To Mr. (the Hon. Charles) 

 Wyndham's credit must be placed the Two Thousand, 

 won in 1814 by Olive (a bay colt by Sir Oliver, and 

 bred by Lord Egremont), and the Ascot Cup won in 

 1826 by Chateau-Margaux (bred also by Lord Egre- 

 mont, by Whalebone). 



Having now disposed of what may be called the 

 personal question, we will proceed in a fresh chapter 

 to get a bird's-eye view of what the Club in its cor- 

 porate capacity had done for the Turf in general and 

 for itself in particular during the ' Second Period,' 

 from 1773 to 1835.
