General Philip Honywood, proprietor of Hollywood's 

 White Arabian (alias Sir Charles Turner's White 

 Turk, alias Sir W. Strickland's Turk), sire of the 

 famous ' Two True Blues.' Mr. Wastell, then, from

 Towlstone (or Tolstone) Hall, Yorkshire, August 30, 

 1809, aged eighty-eight, and was the founder of

 Mr. Leonard Jewison, in the jockeying business. 

 Mr. Wentworth, whose membership of the Jockey 

 Club is, so to say, perpetuated by the Fitzwilliams 

 at the present time, was famous not only for his 

 racehorses, but also for his hunters; not only for 

 his successes on the Turf (as confederate for a time
