A HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH TURF.

 Turk alone in this glorious co-operation. The UArcy White Turk, the D'Arcy

 which cannot be

 the sires of these two were the Lister Turk and Hautboy respectively, neither

 pedigree as well. In following out the same line of reasoning with regard to 

 Malchem and Herod, I must refer my readers to the tables printed' elsewhere, by 

 which they will be able to satisfy themselves that if Matchem has more direct
