1835 THE PRINCE OF WALES AND THE DUKES 195 



well within this ' Second Period ') ; perhaps his nephew 

 and successor (known as the Colonel Lennox who 

 fought a duel with the Duke of York, whose wife gave 

 — or did not give, according to the latest version of 

 the affair — the famous ball at Brussels on the eve of 

 the Battle of Waterloo, and who died in 1819 from 

 hydrophobia, caused by the bite of a dog, or, as some 

 say, of a tame fox), though his membership of the 

 Jockey Club lacks indisputable proof; and certainly 

 the fifth Duke, who is on the list for 1835, who won 

 the Oaks with Gulnare in 1827 and with Piefraction 

 in 1845, the Goodwood Cup with Linkboy in 1827 

 and with Miss Craven in 1828, and the One Thousand 

 with Pic-nic in 1845, and died in 1860. It is to this 

 fifth Duke that Lord George Bentinck was ' managing 

 man,' to such purpose that the Goodwood Meeting 

 won the now stereotyped epithet of ' glorious,' though, 

 no doubt, alliteration had something to do with it, 

 as in the case of ' The Fighting Fitzgeralds,' &c, &c, 

 down to ' Bloody Balfour.' 



The Duke of Piutlaxd is John Henry, the fifth, 

 who died in 1837, having won a Jockey Club Plate (w.o.) 

 in 1830 with Cadland and (also w.o.) in 1831 with Op- 

 pidan. He won the One Thousand in 1816 with PJioda, 

 the Oaks in 1811 and 1814 with Sorcery and Medora, 

 and the Two Thousand and Derby in 1828 with Cad- 

 land, Cadland and The Colonel having first run a dead 

 heat for the Derby, the first on record for that race.
