804 THE JOCKEY CLUB 1835- 



half-bred Hesperithusa, though she ran in the name 

 of Mr. Eastwood. 



Mr. H. F. Clare Vyner (died 1882) is he who won 

 the Two Thousand of 1875 with Camballo, and was 

 brother to the present racing celebrity, Mr. E. C. 

 Vyner, who purchased the property of Fairfield, 

 Yorkshire, which one belonged to the ' Leviathan ' 

 bookmaker, John Jackson, known as ' Jock o' Fair- 

 field.' Mr. K. C. Vyner, who has won the Grand 

 Prix de Paris (with the celebrated Minting in 1886), 

 the One Thousand (with Minthe in 1889), the St. 

 Leger (with The Lambkin in 1884), and other notable 

 races, is understood to have declined membership of 

 the Jockey Club on the tit-for-tat principle, which 

 leads people to refuse when it is offered that which 

 was not given when it was sought. 



Mr. (Bichard) Watt, winner of the One Thousand 

 with Cara in 1839, of the St. Leger in 1813, 1823, 1825, 

 and 1883, with Altisidora, Barefoot, Memnon, and 

 Bockingham, and virtually winner of it in 1817, when 

 his great horse Blacklock was foolishly ' pulled back 

 to his horses ' by way of ' swagger,' and ' snapped ' by 

 Ebor at the finish, was he of Bishop Burton, Yorks, 

 one of the great 'Northern lights,' of Tramp and 

 Blacklock memory, and not to be confounded — as 

 he very often is — with Mr. Watts (of Ireland), an 

 owner of much later date, winner, in 1845, of the St. 

 Leger with The Baron (sire of Stockwell), and breeder 

 both of him and of his dam, Echidna, by Economist.
