n8 THE TURF 



five horses now appearing to his name, 

 besides three sent to Germany. His lord- 

 ship had also, at his stud-farm, in Derby- 

 shire, the renowned horses Priam l and 

 Zinganee, the former having finished his 

 brilliant career with winning the Goodwood 

 cup. Report says, that he is likely to make 

 his way in this ' forest of adventure,' as 

 his experience increases with his years. 

 But the best judge of this rank is the noble 

 Earl of Jersey, who, indeed, does every- 

 thing well. As a breeder, perhaps his 

 lordship may not equal the Duke of Grafton 

 and Lord Egremont, certainly not in extent; 

 but we must place him third, having pro- 

 duced from his own mares one winner of 

 the Oaks Cobweb, supposed to be the 

 best bred mare in England and three 

 winners of the Derby ; namely, Middleton, 

 Bay Middleton (by Middleton out of 

 Cobweb), and Mameluke ; the latter of 

 which he sold to Mr. Gully for four thou- 

 sand guineas ! Perhaps no man ever 

 brought to the post on one day two finer 



1 Priam has been purchased of his lordship for 

 America, at the hitherto unheard-of price for a stud- 

 horse, of three thousand five hundred guineas !
