300 THE HISTORY OF NEWMARKET. [Book XII. 



About 1 1 o'clock, on the 9th of October, the queen 

 arrived at Newmarket, accompanied by the Duchess 

 of Buckingham, the Duchess of Monmouth, Lady- 

 Suffolk, and Lady Arlington, when they dined at one 

 table with the kineand the Duke of York. Soon after 

 dinner, the queen and her ladies took coach for Euston, 

 and were very nobly entertained there that night and 

 the next day at dinner. There were many guests, 

 including the Duke of Ormond and Sir Bernard 

 Gascoigne. Lord Arlington was in attendance upon 

 the queen, who the next day departed for Audley End, 

 when the king was expected to pay a flying visit to 

 Euston.* 



The queen seemed to have been extremely well 

 satisfied with her entertainment at Lord Arlington's 

 seat, and said it would not be her last visit to it. 

 " This day the races being run (one with Gorgrace and 

 an other person I know not, tho the winner, & y® other 

 w"' Mr. Maye's Gelding who got the Course against 

 a horse said to be backed by rich Cittizans), Her 

 Majesty stayed in her Coach vpon y'^ Heath till they 

 race finished & then went directly to Audley End."f
