MANGO— 183.-. lol 



again, on the same day, the race for a pair of splendid 

 tankards, representing, in frosted silver, horse and chariot 

 racing, value 200 gs., the gift of His Majesty, was run over 

 Swinley Course by Mango and Velure, the former carrying 

 his Derby weight, and giving the mare 7lb. — and, more 

 than that, giving her a 7lb, beating. Betting : 5 to 2 on 

 Mango ; who, however, was not yet satisfied with his week's 

 work, and accordingly on the Thursday in the same 

 Meeting, a Sweepstakes of 100 sovs. each, old mile, pro- 

 duced a splendid race between the two Derby colts, Mango 

 and Rat-trap, both great favourites for that race, and fancied 

 by the same parties for this. After some very spirited bet- 

 ting, Mango left off the favourite, at 11 to 8. Rat-trap» 

 having a turn of speed, • made a waiting race of it, till 

 within a few lengths of the chair, where Robinson went 

 up, but so wide of his opponent, that most people imagined 

 he had swerved, which was not the case. All Robinson's 

 jockeyship, and it was wonderful, could not succeed, Mange 

 winning a terrific race by a head : but getting such a job- 

 bing as will serve him for a perpetual memento of Ascot. 



At Stockbridge on Friday the 30th of June, Mango, 

 having his winning ways still about him, showed Mr Wre- 

 ford's Wisdom the colour of his heels for a Sweepstakes of 

 100 sovs. each, h. ft, for foals of 1834; colts, 8st. 7lb. ; 

 fillies, 8st. 41b.; untried stallions or mares allowed 31b.; if 

 both, 51b. — One mile and a half.— -Thirteen subs. 



Mr Greville's br. c. Mang'o, by Emilius, 8st. 71b 1 



Mr Wreford's b. c. Wisdom, 8st. 71b 2 



Betting' : 6 to 4 on Mango. 



It might naturally have been expected that these per- 

 formances would have made Mango a greater favourite for 

 the Doncaster St Lester than the odds of 7 to I show him 

 to have been ; but some people thought him still in his 

 Derby form ; others fancied him fat and l^zy ; others again
