The same day, for a Match, 300 sovs. h. ft.— T.Y.C., 

 Mango, 8st. 91b., received from Mr. Greatrex's c» by The 

 Colonel, out of Citron, 8st., with which he wound up a most 

 successful season. 



For the commencement of the season 1838, Mr Osbaldes- 

 ton's Mahometan, 8st. 71b., paid 100 sovs. ft to Mango, 8st. 

 2lb. ; the Squire having been bold enough to give 51b., but 

 not so imprudent as to run ; and on the Thursday, in the 

 same week, he won the Claret Stakes, a sweepstakes of 200 

 sovs. each, h. ft, for four yr olds ; colts, 8st. 71b. ; and fillies, 

 8st. 21b.— D.I.— Four subs. 



Mr Greville's br. c. Mang-o, by Emilius , 1 



Lord Exeter's br. c. Hibiscus 2 



The odds were 3 to 1 on Mango, and might have been 50, 

 for Hibiscus, his sole competitor, had made up his mind not 

 to win, leaving John Day to make what running he pleased, 

 and to win by three lengths. 



On Tuesday, in the Newmarket First Spring Meeting, a 

 Sweepstakes of 300 sovs. each, 100 ft, for four yr olds ; colts, 

 8st. 71b.; and fillies, 8st. 21b. — B.C. — Ten subs., was con- 

 tested at a strong pace by Mango, Lord Exeter's Adrian, 

 and Lord Chesterfield's Edgar; the latter leading till 

 within a quarter of a mile of the finish, where it was 

 "bellows to mend." Adrian, who had been running in 

 difficulty for at least a mile, immediately took it up, and 

 the next moment was challenged by Mango. A very 

 strange, dodging, but well-disputed race now took place, 

 Adrian ready to swerve from distress and Mango from 

 temper; Adrian's stoutness kept him going to the cords, 

 where he died away, and Mango — rebelling against his jock, 

 and looking every way but the right, up to the last moment 

 — ran in a slovenly winner by two lengths. The betting 

 was 13 to 8 on Mango, and 2 to 1 agst Adrian. Mango
