two hundred guineas. Fox seems to have been fond of running two races on the 

 same day, as the feat is twice recorded of him ; he came from the stud of Sir Ralph 

 Ashton, and was by Sir George Warburton's Clumsy out of Mr. Leeds' Bay Peg, 

 her dam Young Bald Peg, the daughter of Old Bald Peg, as General Fairfax's Old 

 Morocco Mare was called. Clumsy, bred by Mr. Wilks, was got by Old Hautboy, 

 who was by the D'Arcy White Turk out of a royal mare. 



This same Miss Worksop was beaten in 1722 in a match for 150 guineas by Mr. 

 Thomas Panton's Molly, who was bred by Mr. Thurland of Surrey, by Sir John 

 Parson's Toulouse Barb. Molly must have annoyed Frampton not a little, for in 

 1 7 20 she beat his Potato for 200 guineas, and in 1721 she received 150 guineas 

 forfeit from his Dun. As is well known, she fell in running a match against the 

 Duke of Bolton's Terror, and "died in great agony." 



A very famous racer belonging to this same Duke was Bay Bolton, foaled in 

 1705. He beat Mr. Frampton's Dragon twice, and was no less useful at the stud 

 than on the racecourse, for he was the sire of Sloven, Fearnought, Starling, Camilla, 

 and Gipsy, all high-formed animals of merit. He was first called Brown Lusty, 



and was bred by Sir 

 Matthew Pierson out of a 

 Makeless mare by Grey 

 Hautboy, son of Mr. 

 VVilks's Old Hautboy. 

 Bay Bolton died at the 

 Duke of Bolton's stud, 

 aged thirty-one, in 1 736, 

 and was buried with his 

 shoes on at the top of the 

 avenue opposite the Hall, 

 at Bolton, between the 

 large stone pillars, on 

 Middleham High Moor. 

 His grandsire, Makeless, 

 was by the Oglcthorpe 

 Arabian, his granddam by Brimmer, and his great-granddam was a full sister to the 

 dam of Old Merlin. 



With this last name is connected what " Nimrod " very justly calls "the trial of
