£92 THE JOCKEY CLUB 1835— 



remarkable for having in his stud at the time of 

 his death both West Australian and Stockwell, the 

 former sold at the subsequent sale (at Londesborough 

 Lodge, near Scarborough) to the French Count de 

 Moray, and the latter to Mr. E. C. Naylor. 



Lord Maidstone (afterwards eleventh Earl of 

 Winchilsea and Nottingham, born 1815, succeeded 

 1858) is entitled to notice rather as a rider than as a 

 runner of horses, as a scholar (who took part in the 

 learned discussion as to the pronunciation of Iliona, 

 the name of Lord Palmerston's mare that won the 

 Cesarewitch of 1841), and as one of the poet-members 

 of the Jockey Club. 



Lord Mostyn is made out to have been the second 

 Baron, apparently the same person as the Hon. E. M. 

 LI. Mostyn (born 1795, succeeded 1854, died 1884, 

 grandfather of the third Baron), w T ho won the Oaks 

 and St. Leger with the famous Queen of Trumps 

 (whose peculiarity it is said to have been that she 

 * w r ent lame on all four legs, one after the other, 

 before she could settle into her stride ') in 1835. 



Lord W. Powlett (whose name recalls the family 

 of the racing Dukes of Bolton and bewrays relation- 

 ship to the racing Duke of Cleveland) is he who 

 owned the gallant Tim Whiffler, beaten in the famous 

 dead-heat with Buckstone for the Ascot Cup of 1863, 

 and challenged with him (expatriated to Melbourne, 

 Australia, in 1871) both for the Jockey Club Challenge 

 Cup in 1862 and the Whip in 1863.
