formances; these number thirteen and two re- 

 spectively. A glance at the names of the horses 

 engaged will show that his lordship was running 

 some new animals, and these may not have answered 

 his expectations. 



In framing the Racing Appendix I have departed 

 from the stereotyped plan of giving the matches 

 and other entries in extenso. The reasons already 

 advanced for omitting, in a measure, stud-book re- 

 ferences again applies — a want of interest to the 

 general reader. I therefore give, during the period 

 his lordship owned racehorses, an analysis showing 

 what horses he ran, the number of engagements, and 

 events won in any one year. This at a glance shows 

 what he owned in the way of horseflesh and the value 

 of their performances, sufficient to deal in a popular 

 way with his lordship's turf career. On the other 

 hand, the sportsman desirous of further particulars — 

 having the dates — has only to turn to records he 

 knows either by repute or familiarity, and see what 

 animals his lordship's stable was competing against. 

 However, any important racing event his lordship 

 was interested in will be found chronicled in the 

 text.
