THE TURF 119 



horses than Mameluke, the winner of the 

 Derby, and Glenartney, who ran second to 

 him, beating twenty-one others with the 

 greatest ease. Mameluke was bred by Mr. 

 Elwes. Lord Jersey's stud is not large, 

 but well selected, and he has every con- 

 venience for breeding at his seat, Middle- 

 ton Stony, Oxfordshire. His lordship was 

 formerly confederate with that thorough 

 sportsman, Sir John Shelley, who had the 

 honour of breeding Phantom and Priam. 

 The Earl of Durham has retired, but, when 

 Mr. Lambton, he had a splendid stud, 

 which was sold by Messrs. Tattersall, in 

 1826, eight foals realising the astonishing 

 sum of fifteen hundred and thirty-three 

 guineas (above two hundred pounds each) ! 

 Of Newmarket viscounts we muster more; 

 but looking to the past, we must give Lord 

 Lowther the pas^ not only from his experi- 

 ence and knowledge, considered quite first- 

 rate, but from the single fact of his having 

 had sixteen horses in training, only a few 

 years back, at one time. It is a singular 

 fact, that his lordship has only won the 

 Derby once with Spaniel and never won 

 the Oaks, in his long career on the turf.
