On the 26th of June, Mr. James Croft the trainer, 

 died at Middleham, Yorkshire, in the 42nd year of 

 his age. Among the principal patrons of this well- 

 known northern trainer, we find at different times 

 the names of the Duke of Leeds, Lord Kelburne, 

 the Hon. Mr. Petre, Sir Wm. Maxwell, Mr. Gas- 

 coigne, Sir B. R. Graham, &c., and the following 

 winners of the St. Leger came out of his stable, 

 viz : — Filho da Puta, the Duchess, Theodore, and 

 Jerry. The year 1822, when Theodore won the 

 St. Leger, produced a case we believe unparalleled 

 in the annals of racing ; the four first horses in 

 the race having been all trained by Mr. Croft. 



Upon the retirement of Mr. Robson, the well- 

 known trainer, of Newmarket, from the turf 

 in the course of this year, many of the leading 

 members of the Jockey Club subscribed for a piece 

 of plate, which they presented him in testimony 

 of their regard for the integrity, zeal, and abiUty, 

 displayed by him for many years in his business.
