In this year died, in Lord Montgomery's stud, 

 the valuable stallion, John Bull, whose sire, For- 

 titude, was got by Herod, and dam by Eclipse. 

 He was bred by the Earl of Grosvenor, and in 

 1792 won the Produce stakes at Newmarket, and 

 the Derby at Epsom. He was the sire of Alfred, 

 Csesario, Enterprize, Ferdinand, Muly Moloch, 

 Vandal, Violante, &c. &c. 



Only two horses, Smolensko and Solyman, were 

 entered for the Claret stakes this year, no others 

 venturing against them, both being at the time first 

 favourites for the Derby. 



The following celebrated race-horses changed 

 hands this year; the Duke of Rutland's Grimalkin 

 sold to the Emperor of Austria for 1700 gs. (his 

 Grace refusing 2000 gs. for Soothsayer) ; Mr. Gas- 

 coine's Cannon-ball by Sancho for 2000 gs. to Lord 

 Jersey ; and Mr. Watts' Tramp to the same noble- 

 man for 1200 gs. 



On the 25th of July, the stud of Mr. R. Lad- 

 broke, then lately deceased, was sold at Messrs. 

 Tattersall's, and produced 2,925 gs. Whalebone 

 by Waxy, fetched 510 gs.; Octavius by Orville, 

 630 gs.; Hamlet by Hambletonian, 510 gs.; Eagle,
