ST GILES, BETRAM, AND PI?IAM. 35 



but which it is useless to insert here, since it failed of 

 having the desired effect. The gist of the objection was, 

 that St Giles had been entered as a " chesnut colt, St 

 Giles, by Tramp, out of Arcot Lass, by Ardrossan, he?- dam 

 Floyerk'm ;" whereas it ought to have been, " by Ar^dros- 

 san, dam by Cramlington, out of Floyerkinr At first law 

 proceedings were talked of, but subsequently a more satis- 

 factory and sportsmanlike course was agreed on, viz., by 

 referring the question to his Grace the Duke of Richmond, 

 Lord Stradbroke, and Mr Charles Greville, than whom 

 more honourable or competent arbitrators, could not by 

 possibility have been selected. The " cause" was heard 

 at Newmarket on Saturday morning, and a "verdict" 

 given in favour of Mr E-idsdale, " damages, £2,675." 

 There cannot be two opinions as to the propriety of set- 

 tling all turf disputes by reference to persons conversant 

 with the laws and usages of racing; although we have 

 lately had occasion to see a different course adopted. The 

 case just noticed, clear enough to sporting men, involved 

 a question of pedigree that would have puzzled fifty 

 learned judges, " wigs and all." 



St Giles rested upon his laurels now for a few months, 

 until they were torn from him at Goodwood, by one who 

 had gathered in " so many, and so glorious" before, old 

 Priam. 



The Goodwood Cup of 1832, was a very sporting 

 race, — the entry comprising many of the chief " Cracks 

 of the day," as may be seen by the annexed authentic 

 " return." 



The Gold Cup, value 300 sovs. the surplus in specie, a 

 subscription of 20 sovs. each, with 100 added by the City 

 of Chichester, for three yr olds and upwards. — Once 

 round. — The owner of the second horse to receive 100 

 sovs. out of the stakes. — Thirty -three subs.
