THE TURF. 
the Squire had remained with his hounds in Northamp- 
tonshire, where nothing eclipsed his fame. 
But we must not omit two of our first-class men, in 
this line, on Newmarket heath, viz., Lord George Ben- 
tinck, and Mr. Greville ; both said to be the best judges 
of racing, and the cleverest men at betting, of the 
present day. It is indeed asserted, that the only diffi-

ducks" on the settling days, for they are very seldom 
on "the wrong side the post." The turf is also likely 
to gain an accession in a bunch of young noblemen just 
about to shew forth, amongst whom are Lord Suffield, 
Lord Albert Conyngham, &c. 
It rarely happens that what are called provincial 
studs do much in what may be termed the capitals of 
the racing world ; but we cannot forget Lord Oxford 
beating the crack nags at Newmarket, Eaton among 
the rest, with old Victoria, and his Hedgeford jockey, 
the late Tom Car ; Mr. Glover winning the Craven 
with Slender Billy ; and, though last, not least, the great 
Worcestershire grazier (the late Mr. Terret, tenant of 
Mr. Lechmere Charlton) taking his fine Rubens horse, 
Sovereign, in his bullock caravan to Newmarket, win- 
ning the St. Leger stakes with him in a canter, and, 
what was still less expected, his rural jockey, Ben Moss, 
out-jockeying the best riders on the heath. Neither 
will the same jockey's performance on Lady Byron, over 
the course, to the benefit of the said grazier, be very 
soon forgotten. But, although we must not enter upon
