9. The D'Arcy Yellow Turk was the sire of Spanker, Brimmer, and the 

 great-great-grandam of Cartouch. 



10. The Marshall or Selaby Turk was the property of Mr. Marshall's 

 brother, studmaster to King William, Queen Anne, and King George the first. 

 He got the Curwen Old Spot, the datu of Windhain, the dani of Derby Tickle- 

 pitcher, and great-grandam of Bolton Sloven and Fearnought. 



11. Curwen's Bay Barb was a present to Louis the Fourteenth from Muley 

 Ishtnael, King of Morocco, and was brought into England by Mr. Curwen, 

 who being in France when Count Byram and Count Thoulouse (two natural 

 sons of Louis the Fourteenth) were, the former, master of the horse, and the 

 latter an admiral, he procured of them two Barb horses, both of which proved 

 excellent stallions, and were well known by the names of the Curwen Bay 

 Barb and the Thoulouse Barb. Curwen's Bay Barb got Mixbury and Tantivy, 

 both very excellent formed Galloways. The first of them was only thirteen 

 hands two inches high, and yet there were not more than two horses of his 

 time that could beat him at light weights. Brocklesby, Little George, Yellow 

 Jack, Bay Jack, Monkey, Dangerfield, Hip, Peacock, and Flatface, the first 

 two in good forms, the rest middling; two Mixburys, full brothers to the first 



Mixbury, middling Galloways; Long Meg, Brocklesby Betty, and Creeping 

 Molly, extraordinarily high-formed mares'; Whiteneck, Mistake, Sparkler, 

 and Lightfoot, very good mares, and several middling Galloways, who ran for 

 Plates in the North. He got two full sisters to Mixbury, one of which bred 

 Partner, Little Scar, Soreheels and the dam of Crab; the other was the dam of 

 -Quiet, Silver Eye and Hazard. He did not cover many mares except Mr. 

 {Curwen's and Mr. Pelhaui's. 



12. The Thoulouse Barb became afterward the property of Sir J. Parsons 

 And was the sire of Bagpiper, Blacklegs, Mr. Panton's Molly, and the dam of 

 Cinnamon. 



13. Barley's Arabian was brought over by a brother of Mr. Darley, of 

 Yorkshire, who, being an agent in merchandise abroad, became member of a 

 hunting club, by which means he acquired interest to procure this horse. He 

 was the sire of Childers, and also got Almanzor, a very good horse; a white- 

 legged horse of the D. of Somerset's, full brother to Almanzor, and thought to 

 be as good, but meeting with an accident, he never ran in public; Cupid and 

 Brisk, good horses; Daedalus, a very swift horse; Dart, Shipjack, Maica and 

 Aleppo, good Plate homes, though out of bad mares; Ld. Lonsdale's Mare in 

 very good form, and Ld. Tracy's Mare in a good one for Plates. He covered 

 very few mares except Mr. Darley's, who had very few well-bred mares be- 

 sides Almanzor's Dam. 



14. Sir J. William's Turk (more commonly called the Honeywood Arabian) 

 got Mr. Honeywood's two True Blues; the elder of them was the best Plate 

 horse in England, for four or five years; the younger was in very high form 

 and got the Rumford Gelding, and Ld. Onslow'sGrey Horse, middling horses out 

 of road mares. It is not known that this Turk covered any bred mares except 

 the dam of the two True Blues. 



15. The Belgrade Turk was taken at the siege of Belgrade, by Gen. Merci, 

 and sent by him to the Prince de Craon, from whom he was a present to the 

 Prince of Lorraine. He was afterward purchased by Sir Marmaduke Wyvill, 

 and died in his possession about 1740.
