This famous race-horse was about 15 hands and 

 an inch high, and of a dark brown colour. Worn 

 out with old age, he was shot at Newmarket on the 

 15th of July, 1838. 



Sir Harry Goodricke and Mr. Francis Richard- 

 son died this year. The former gentleman was 

 well known in Leicestershire, as a master of 

 hounds, in which capacity he was generally es- 

 teemed, both for his knowledge of the noble sport 

 of hunting, and his good-nature in the field. 



The latter well-known turfite was of low origin, 

 but acquired some property and much notoriety 

 by betting in the ring. His last speculation with 

 Fang was not successful, as we have before ex- 

 plained.
