A HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH TURF. 



There appear also a Clerk of the Scales (John Hammond), and a Starter (Samuel 

 Betts), to show that everything was in proper order by the time the nineteenth 

 century was about to begin. And I shall introduce that century appropriately by 

 considering in my next chapter the jockeys who, like Francis Buckle, had made a 

 name for themselves when it began, or who were soon to lend lustre to its earlier 

 decades. Among them the name of Chifney stands out with especial clearness, 

 and it is in connection with that I shall have something more definite to say 

 concerning the racing career of the Prince of Wales, who became afterwards King- 

 George IV
