444 HISTORY OF THE 



of Grafton's Penelope, Parasol, and Pelisse, which 

 five won upwards of a hundred engagements. 



On Tuesday, the 10th of July, His Grace the 

 Duke of Leeds expired at his residence in London, 

 after only three days' illness, in the 63rd year of his 

 age. The Northern Turf sustained a great loss by 

 his death, as he had long been at once its brightest 

 ornament and most liberal patron. His Grace 

 commenced running horses in 1797, when Baron 

 Conyers, and among the best of the long list of 

 horses which passed through his hands, we may 

 mention the names of Mowbray, Rasping, Mercu- 

 tio. Blue Beard, Jenny Mills, Zohrab, &c. &c. 

 His best horse, however, was the celebrated Octa- 

 vian, the winner of the St. Leger, which he pur- 

 chased when a foal, with its dam, from one of his 

 own tenants, having taken a fancy to it while fol- 

 lowing its dam in the plough. 



Lord Suffield being obliged to decline the turf, 

 his racing stud was sold by Messrs. Tattersall, at 

 their establishment, on the 13th of August, 1839, 

 and fetched the following prices : —
