418 HISTORY OF THE 



that she was a daughter of a full sister to Quiet. 

 Molly was not a mare of great size, nor had she 

 so considerahle a share of speed as some others 

 have had ; but was of such durable last in run- 

 ning, that she was never beat at Newmarket till in 

 a match, which cost her her life. 



At Newmarket in J 720, Molly beat Mr. Framp- 

 ton's Potatoe, for 200 gs. ; Lord Drogheda's 

 Pickle-Herring, for 150 gs. ; Lord Milsintowne's 

 mare, two matches of 100 gs. each ; and received 

 50 gs. from a mare of Mr. Cumberland's. In 1721 

 she beat Lord Milsintowne's Skipling, for 200 gs. ; 

 and received the following forfeits, viz : 100 gs. from 

 Mr. Proby's Chimney-sweeper; 150 gs., from Mr. 

 Frampton's Dun ; and three of 100 gs. each, from 

 Lord Drogheda's Tickle-pitcher ; these three were 

 made to be run in one day. In 1722, she beat Sir 

 William Morgan's Bean for 300 gs. ; and Mr. 

 Frampton's Miss Worksop for 150 gs. In 1723, 

 she beat Lord Drogheda's Snip for 300 gs. and 

 his Lordship's Witty gelding for 200 gs. ; and re- 

 ceived 1000 gs. forfeit from Lord Tankerville's 

 Sophonisba. Molly was further matched against 

 the Duke of Bolton's Terror, and was to have run 

 two hours after against his Grace's Badger ; but in 

 running the first, she was suddenly seized with an 

 illness,, and died in great agony between the stand 

 and the rubbing-house. The sums she won and 

 received in forfeits, were very rarely paralleled.
