MR. HENRY PAD WICK. 



was his best, Yellow Jack and St. Hubert were the 

 unlucky ones. As for the former, it is true a glorious 

 future appeared to be before him when he won as a 

 two-year-old at Newmarket ; but the next year he was 

 actually second in every race he ran : to Fazzoletto 

 for the Two Thousand ; to One Act for the Chester

 of 7 to 4 on him, when he ran second to Lord of the- 

 Isles, beating Kingstown ; and again with odds on him 

 he was beaten at Goodwood, and never ran after.

 beyond receiving forfeit on a small match ; and was 

 sent to America, where, I believe, he got some fair 

 stock. 



We have seen that Mr. Padwick exercised special
