Now, as to the astuteness and finesse on the Turf attributed 

 to Mr. Frampton, it is a remarkable fact that by comparing the 

 horses he owned and run from 17 19 to 1727 (the year of his 

 death) it will be found that out of fifty-two races (principally 

 matches) he only won fourteen and lost thirty-eight. In the sub- 

 joined list it may also be noticed that 300 guineas was the largest 

 sum he staked in any of those matches, and that more frequently 

 he made matches for quite inconsiderable stakes. Indeed, it 

 seems, at least during the last eight years of his life, that sport 

 and not lucre was his sole object. Probably in consequence of his 

 quasi-ofiicial position at Newmarket, he only entered and ran a 

 horse there for a King's Plate on one occasion. From March, 

 1723, to April, 1726, none of his horses ran at Newmarket, nor 

 elsewhere, so far as can be ascertained from reliable sources.
