The king, accompanied by the queen, the Prince of 



Wales, the great officers of state and a splendid retinue, 



1632. arrived at Newmarket on the 28th of 



February. February, 1632. The Earl of Pembroke 



was also present, from which we may infer racing and 



betting were on the tapis. Apropos of betting, a 



curious wager was made by the king — the only one we 



have ever known him to make, at Newmarket : — 



Mungo More, an old attendant at the court, who at 



this time was over eighty years of age, was laid 3 to i 



by King Charles that he would not penetrate into 



the King of Sweden's camp.* Moore deposited his 



" three pieces " in the king's hands, " to be trebled on 



* Gustavus Adolphus, who was killed at the battle of Lutzen, when 

 opposed to Wallenstein, whose forces he overthrew.
