THE TURF. 
Wright is also a steady good rider, and comes light to 
the scale. He was very successful on Crutch. Natt, 
or Flatman (his surname), is a very improving jockey, 
and is engaged by the Earl of Chesterfield. James 
Chappie, very good and very light, seven stone without 
wasting, 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 per- 
fection, 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 employed. 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. Darling, a very eminent country jockey, 
has lately been riding for Lord Exeter at Newmarket, 
where we hope he will be often employed, as he has
