THE TURF 53 



rode the winner of Derby and Oaks in 1833. 

 Arthur Pavis has the call for the light weights 

 at Newmarket. He is in very high practice 

 in public and private ; and never being called 

 upon to waste, is in great request, and 

 perhaps rides more races in the year, and 

 winning ones, too, than any other jockey in 

 England. As practice makes perfect, Pavis 

 is approaching perfection, and bids fair to 

 arrive at it. He has a very elegant seat, 

 being cast in the mould for a jockey, and 

 is very full of power for his size. His 

 brother, Edgar, is principal jockey for his 

 Royal Highness the Duke of Orleans in 

 France, and rides light and well. Another 

 of the clever light weights is Samuel Mann 

 the lightest man of all his Newmarket 

 brethren, and of course very often em- 

 ployed. Macdonald, another Newmarket 

 jockey, is a very superior horseman, whose 

 skill is not confined to the turf. He is 

 famed for riding and driving trotting matches 

 having ridden Driver against Rattler, and 

 driven Mr. Payne's Rochester against Rattler 

 in the disputed match. He has capital 

 nerve, and shines upon savage horses, which 

 many would be unwilling to encounter.
