286 THE JOCKEY CLUB 1835- 



sire of the famous Saucebox, winner of the St. Leger 

 in 1855. 



The (first) Earl of Lichfield (created 1831, and 

 previously Thomas William, Viscount Anson, son of 

 the grand-nephew of the ' circumnavigator ') is he 

 who died in 1854, and who, under the auspices of 

 Lord G. Bentinck, won the St. Leger of 1836 with 

 Elis (originally Mr. C. C. Greville's), and the Two 

 Thousand of 1839 with The Corsair (when it was 

 7 to 2 on Lord Jersey's Caesar, and there were only 

 three runners). 



The (third) Earl of Lonsdale (nephew of the 

 second Earl, who, as Viscount Lowther, won the 

 sensational Derby of 1831 with Spaniel) is he who 

 was better known upon the Turf and in the Jockey 

 Club as Colonel Hugh Lowther (born 1818, succeeded 

 1872, died 1876, so that he did not wear out his 

 coronet), and who covered his new earldom with glory 

 by winning the Cesar ewitch of 1873 with King Lud 

 (bred by Lord Zetland). 



The Earl of Orford (the third of the new creation 

 in 1806, the old having expired with the celebrated 

 Horace Walpole), who died in 1858 at the age of 

 seventy-eight, won the Two Thousand with Clearwell 

 in 1833, and the One Thousand with a filly (afterwards 

 called Lady Orford), by Slane out of Exotic, in 1850, 

 and so ' kept the pot a-boiling,' which had been set 

 on by the ' mad ' Lord Orford, one of the early 

 members of the Jockey Club.
