330 IRISH SPORT AND SPORTSMEN. 



(second for the Angleseys in 1869), Souffle, Athens, 

 Macbeth, Avant, Courier, and others, carried his 

 pretty colours, and nearly all of them more than once 

 successfully. On the whole his Lordship was decidedly 

 unfortunate, for none of our most valuable races fell to 

 him, notwithstanding his long connection with the turf 

 He was a generous contributor to the funds ofBellews- 

 town, and many other Irish race and steeplechase 

 meetings, and one of the principal shareholders in the 

 Palmerstown Breeding Association. In 1866, in order 

 to encourage the supporters of that stud farm, he 

 bought all the yearlings reared there, with one excep- 

 tion. He gave ;^ 1,000 for eleven. They were the 

 first lot ever bred there, and the average price was 

 higher than that realised at any subsequent sale of the 

 Palmerstown youngsters. 



He sent them to Newmarket to be trained, but 

 they were all bad. The horses he had in Ireland 

 were prepared for their engagements by James 

 Murphy of Conyngham Lodge, and after his death by 

 his son James, and some of them at home by his Lord- 

 ship's private trainer, Moran. 



I should add that the late Marquis was married to 

 Lady Jane Paget, daughter of the first Marquis of 

 Anglesey. He was very popular in Irish and English 

 society, and especially so with his tenantry. 



One of the most noted sportsmen in the beautiful 

 water-colour is Lord St. Lawrence (now Lord Howth) 

 on Mushroom. 



William Ulick Tristrajn St. Lawf'e7ice was born on 

 the 25th June, 1827, and succeeded his father, 1874. 

 He has been Lieutenant-Colonel of the County Dublin 

 Militia, and was formerly a captain in the 7th Hussars.
