1773 THE LORDS 63 



elder brother Viscount Milsington or Milsintown (for 

 it is variously spelt, according to the wont of the age, 

 which was more addicted to gambling than to ortho- 

 graphy), having previously died and having had 

 children who also died previously. The second Earl's 

 membership of the Jockey Club is attested by his 

 signature appended to the Jockey Club ' Order ' of 

 1758. He (as well as the Viscount Milsington who 

 was apparently his eldest son, and who ran Scarf for 

 the Derby of 1781) was a great racer and breeder. 

 He won the first (1751) of all the Great Subscriptions 

 at York, with Skim (by the Bolton Starling) ; and he 

 bred Mr. Grisewood's Partner (sire of the famous 

 Gimcrack's dam), the celebrated Cartouch mare (dam 

 of Sir J. Moore's Miss South, South-West, &c), and 

 the renowned little Highlander (14 hands, 1 inch), by 

 Victorious. He was also one of the owners of the 

 famous Othello (Black-and-All-Black), by Crab. He 

 died in 1785, having done his duty to the Turf. 



Lord Bockingham, the second and last Marquess, 

 is the popular Charles Watson Wentworth, who 

 gave its name to the Doncaster St. Leger (in 1778) 

 from his friend and neighbour Colonel (afterwards 

 General) St. Leger, of Park Hill (whence the Park 

 Hill Stakes), near Doncaster. He belonged rather to 

 the northern than to the southern members of the 

 Jockey Club, whereof his membership is attested, if 

 any attestation of so great a certainty be required, by 

 his signature appended to the first document published
