X THE JOCKEY CLUB 



voice and a share in the administration of affairs 

 which are purely external. 



At the same time it will appear very clearly that 

 the Club, like any other miserable sinners, have done 

 what they ought not to have done, and have left 

 undone what they ought to have done. 



My chief authorities (necessarily so interwoven with 

 the work that it would be impossible to give special 

 references) are : — * Calendar of State Papers ' ; Horace 

 Walpole's ' Letters ' ; Wraxall's 'Historical Memoirs ' ; 

 ' Histories of the British Turf ' ; Admiral Bous's 

 ' Horse-Eacing ' ; Hore's ' History of Newmarket ' ; 

 the Badminton Library; the Bacing Calendars of 

 Cheney, Heber, Pond, Tuting and Fawconer, B.Walker, 

 and Weather by ; Cobbett's 'Parliamentary History,' 

 and Hansard's ' Debates ' ; ' The Sporting Magazine ' ; 

 ' Baily's Magazine ' ; works by ' The Druid ' ; Obit- 

 uaries ; and the works of Burke, Debrett, Lodge, 

 &c, as well as a scurrilous publication called ' The 

 Jockey Club,' by Charles Pigott (alias 'Louse' Pigott), 

 an ex-member of the Club. — K. B.
