legged Lowther Barb; Mr. Dormer (two at \ 10 each) ; Sir John Parsons, whose 

 horses I have mentioned (three for a total of ^200) ; Lord Cholmondeley (two for 

 ,295 in all) ; Lord Godolphin (two for ^173 los. in all) ; Sir Henry Johnson (two 

 for ^"162 IDS. in all) ; Mr. Ryder (two for ^"230 in all) ; Colonel Webb (three for a 

 total of ^"264 IDS.) Single purchases were also made from Mr. Felton, Mr. Graham, 

 Lord Cavendish, Lord Stamford, Mr. Paul Foley, Mr. Overbury, Sir Richard 

 Franklyn, Mr. Popham, Lord YVharton, the Duke of Ormond, Lord Carlisle, Lord 

 Raby, Sir Scroop How, and Mr. Marshall the studmaster (to be differentiated both 

 from Mr. Frampton the Royal trainer, and from Henry, Duke of Nassau, the Royal 

 Master of the Horse), whose name is immortalised by the Marshall or Sclaby Turk, 

 the sire of Curwcn Old Spot, the dam of Windham, the dam of the Derby Tickle-

All this shows that racing and breeding were by now established not in the 

 vicinity of the Royal studs alone, but all over England. Sir Walter Scott has put 

 on record, for instance, the articles of a ^"5 Plate to be run for in the Isle of Man,

 Turk ; Wood's Counsellor, by Lord Darcy's Counsellor ; Lord Darcy's Diamond, by 

 the Helmsley Turk, who was also the sire of Mr. Dalton's Royal Colt; Lord Darcy's 

 Luggs by the Darcy White Turk ; Old Smithson, by Cole's Barb ; Spark by Honey-

 Darcy's Pet Mare (out of a Sedbury Royal Mare) who was the mother of Clumsey, 

 Mr. Robinson's Grey Wilkes, and of Sir J. Parsons' Old Wen Mare ; Grey Layton, by 

 Darcy's Counsellor out of a Place's White Turk Mare ; the Royal mare who produced
