 In a series of papers on horsebreeding in Ireland which

 the produce of the Westport Stud and their perform- 

 ances ; while a saying of his, " You cannot have too 

 much Waxy," was quoted as having been borne out 

 by the fact that there are very few good horses running 

 .at present who are without that strain in them. Waxy 

 Tope and Wire were the principal son and daughter

 known with the Calcutta Turf Club), second to the 

 famous half-miler, Edward Morgan, then the property 

 ■of Mr. E. ("Salamander") Studd, of Scryah factory, 

 in Tirhoot, and afterwards owned by Mr. H. B. Simson. 

 The next Calcutta meeting was wound ujd by two 

 hack races ; one for all horses, to be entered and ridden 

 by jockeys for their own benefit, and the other for 

 Arabs, G. Rs. Hartley won the first with Jessie,
