GALOPIN AND PETRARCH 



Archer a winning mount in the Rous Memorial 

 Stakes at Ascot, in which Dalham, Touchet, 

 Thunderstorm, Insulaire, and Lord Clive, all of 

 whom could gallop a bit, were behind him. Then 

 came another change of ownership, and he ran his 

 last race as the property of Lord Calthorpe. This 

 was the Champion Stakes at the Newmarket 

 Second October, in which Lord Falmouth's dis- 

 tinguished pair — Jannette and Silvio — raced home 

 together, many lengths in front of the rest of the 

 field. At the stud Petrarch may be said to have 

 done his fair share towards maintaining the 

 reputation of the house of Newminster, though, 

 with the exception of Busybody, he gave us no 

 son or daughter of conspicuous merit, and, as was 

 only natural, his stock were always more remark- 

 able for elegance and quality than for bone and 

 substance.
