ASHGILL; OR, THE LIFE

Bothwell started a 5 to 2 favourite for the Derby, 

 and in Osborne's guidance ran unplaced to Favonius, 

 Albert Victor, and King o' the Forest, the latter beating 

 liim out of place for the Prince of Wales Stakes at 

 Ascot. Osborne's association with him as a horseman 

 ^nded with his complete failure to show the Two 

 Thousand form behind Hannah in the St. Leger. 

 Thereafter Bothwell's career was a long, chequered, and 

 inglorious one, as he failed even in 50 plates, though 

 when he came into the hands of the late Tom Green, 

 who trained for many years at Beverley, he paid his 

 way as a " plater," one of his last performances in this 

 line being a win in a 50 plate at Spennymoor, County 

 Durham. An apathetic end in the cab ranks was, we 

 fear, the degrading fate at last of Stockwell's son. 



Speeding on, we come .to another important period 

 in the history of the Osborne brothers. Entering upon 

 the eighth decade of the century, we find they trained 

 many good horses, nor did John fail to add to his 

 reputation as a jockey. Noteworthy in '72 amongst 

 the animals he steered to victory was the roaring Prince 

 Charlie. Appended is a description of
