Milliner. 37 



The noblest aims prompt all our actors do, 

 The love of charity and love of you, 

 Which is the greater power, which the less, 

 I've no idea, but you yourselves must guess." 



In September, 1869, Lord Marcus Beresford and 

 Captain Joy ran at Poonah the bay Walcr mare, 

 Milliner, with bad luck, as she was defeated three 

 times by Hungarian, and once b\' Captain Dent's 

 Pioneer : a result which was very galling after bringing 

 the mare all the way from Scalkote in the Punjab. It 

 was not Milliner's fault, for she was good and honest 

 enough ; but the 7th Hussar jockey, Auckland, did not 

 look after her properly in her training. Like many 

 young, strong, and wise men, both before and since, he 

 succumbed to the insidious flutterings of a bit of muslin, 

 and proved an unprofitable servant. 



A funny thing about Hungarian is that, although he 

 •was bred in the country from which he took his name, 

 he appears to have run at the previous Bombay meeting 

 as a colonial ! His owner was evidently not a swell at 

 geography.
