224 MEMORIES OF MEN AND HORSES 



Park, the property of the late Mr William Blenkison. 

 Hermit and Galopin were sold as yearlings there. 

 Very pleasant too were the annual sales of the royal 

 yearlings at Bushey Paddocks, and as Sainfoin, Memoir, 

 La Fleche and Best Man were all produced and sold 

 there in the concluding years of the stud, it cannot be 

 alleged that the undertaking was given up on account 

 of failure. The same may be said of the old Cobham 

 Stud Company, the Marden Park Stud and not a few 

 others. The work of selecting the best yearlings on 

 such occasions was not half so strenuous as it is at 

 Newmarket or Doncaster, amid the turmoil of a race 

 meeting. However, "other times, other manners," and 

 I suppose the old order has permanently changed.
