In this year, Sir Mark Wood, Bart., closed his 

 short but brilliant sporting career with his life, 

 being only in the 42nd year of his age. After the 

 timely sale of his estate and borough of Gatton, in 

 Surrey, to Lord Monson for £180,000,* in 1829, 

 Sir Mark resolved to devote himself to the pursuit 

 of the turf, and for this purpose, took up his resi- 

 dence at Hare Park, about five miles from New- 

 market. The late Baronet was more fortunate in 

 the first four years of his connection with the turf 

 than afterwards ; during this period, he won the 

 Oaks with Vespa, besides numerous prizes with 

 his famous mares, Lucetta and Camarine. 



The sale of Sir Mark Wood's racing and breed- 

 ing stud took place on Saturday the 21st of Oc- 

 tober, at Hare Park. 



* The borough was afterwards disfranchised by the Reform Bill, 

 by which Lord Monson is calculated to have lost £100,000 by his 

 bargain.
