124 A HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH TURF. 



Barcaldtnc are, among others, descended from him. He also got Lister Snake, the 

 Duke of Kingston's Brisk, Piping Peg, Coneyskins, and the granddam of the Bolton 

 Sii'eepstakes. 



War is associated also with the most famous importations of William III.'s reign ; 

 for the Bycrly Turk, one of the three great sires to whom all pedigrees are traced, 

 was Captain Byerly's charger in King W'illiam's Irish wars of about 1689. He was 

 the sire of Jigg, of the Duke of Kingston's Sprite, of the Duke of Rutland's 

 Black Hearty and Archer, of the Duke of Devonshire's Basto (the famous stallion 

 who died at Chatsworth in 1/23 at the age of twenty-one), of Lord Bristol's 

 Grasshopper, of Lord Godolphin's Byer/y Gelding, and of Ktiiglitleys Mare. Besides 

 these famous Arabians, Dodsivorth had by this time been foaled ; he was a natural Barb, 

 and was the sire of Dicky Pierson. The Oglctlwrpe Arabian (by the Darcy Yellow 

 Turk, sire of Spanker, Brimmer and the great-great-grandson of Cartouch) was the 

 sire of Mukdess. Chillaby, King William's white Barb, was the sire of Greyhound, out 

 of Slitgcy, a natural Barb mare ; and Greyhound got the Duke of Wharton's Rake and 

 Othello, Mr. Panton's Whitefoot, and Lord Halifax's Sampson, Goliah, and Favourite. 

 There were also the Ely Turk; the Brownlow Turk; Williamson's Bay Arabian ; 

 Curwen's Bay Barb who got Mixbury and Tantivy, (a pair of splendid Galloways), Long 

 Meg, Brocklcsby Betly and Creeping Molly all high formed mares, and was the great- 

 grandsire of Crab ; Sir J. Parson's Tonlonse Barb, the sire of Mr. Panton's Molly, and 

 of Blacklegs ; Sir J. Williamson's Turk, known as the Hollywood Arabian, who got the 

 two True Blues, a splendid pair of colts ; Hutton's Grey Barb ; the S /any an Arabian 

 and many more who, like the Darlcy Arabian overlap into the next century. 



To this I shall proceed by the convenient link of Mr. Tregonwell Frampton, to 

 whose training and constant sportsmanship it was largely due that the importations 

 did so much good in the next fifty years.
