1835 THE LOEDS 203 



Hon. William Cecil racing in company with Her 

 Majesty Queen Anne for Her Majesty's own Gold Cup, 

 at York in 1713), is the second Marquess (born 1795, 

 succeeded 1804, died 1867), who appears in the official 

 list of 1835 (having, almost certainly, been a member 

 some years before), and was a great upholder of the 

 Turf, of an excellent type. He won the Two Thousand 

 in 1825, 1829, 1830, and 1852, with Enamel, Patron, 

 Augustus, and Stockwell (having just been in time to

 Augusta, Green Mantle, and Galata; the St. Leger 

 in 1852, with Stockwell ; and the Whip in 1854, with 

 Stockwell. Add to all this a number of matches, and 

 the Ascot Cup, with Galata in 1833. How unfortunate 

 he was not to win the Derby with Stockwell (amiss, 

 as he so often was) needs no demonstration. This is 

 the Lord Exeter whose name is associated with a 

 well-known but ill-understood method of selling race- 

 horses, which are then said to be sold ' under Lord 

 Exeter's conditions ' (as he was the originator of the 

 process). Those conditions, as they are imperfectly 

 ' under standee! of the people,' it may be well to append : 



The horses are sold without their engagements, but 

 the purchaser has the right of running for any of them by 

 paying half the stake, and in the event of the horse winning, 

 or being entitled to second or third money, one-third shall
