SOME RACING STABLES AND TRAINERS. 21 



Mr. Whitens favourite, and no horse better deserved 

 that honour. 



Since Mr. White's death Tom Payten has been in 

 sole charge at Newmarket, although the ownership of 

 the horses has changed. Mrs. White still keeps up 

 the breeding establishment at Kirkham, and has 

 lately imported a couple of well-bred English stallions 

 to take the place of the defunct Chester. I think she 

 has no reason to be dissatisfied with her success so far. 



Newmarket stables are built on a large space . of 

 ground at Lower Eandwick. 



The trainer's residen(!e is a fine, commodious 

 house, and stands well back from the road in spacious 

 grounds. 



The stables are well built, and there is ample room 

 in them. Entering a large covered building, the 

 visitor finds himself in a spacious hall, as it were, on 

 either side, at the far end of which are ranged 

 large loose boxes, and above them a wide gallery goes 

 round three sides of the building. All these boxes are 

 kept in beautiful order, and are airy, and light, and 

 well drained. Everything is neat and clean, as a 

 racing stable should be, and the numerous lads are 

 kept well in hand and are taught their business, and 

 also, what is quite as necessary, obedience. 



Tom Payten rules over all with a firm hand, and at 

 the same time is a just master. 



Many a pleasant hour have I passed in these
