Of some Occurrences at the Spring Meeting at 

 Neiimarhct in 1791* 



On the I2th of May 1791, Mr. W. Lake gave 

 me orders to make play with Pegasus against Car- 

 clock and another horse for the King's Plate. 

 His Royal Highness not being at Newmarket, I 

 used my utmost endeavours to induce Mr. Lake 

 to allow me to wait with Pegasus : he would not 

 agree to it ; however, as I knew Pegasus's making 

 play was the only way to beat him, I took upon 

 myself to wait with him, and he just won *. 

 Had Pegasus made play, I believe Cardock would 

 have beaten him. Pegasus was very unfit to run 

 in this race, though a much better runner at that 

 time than Cardock. 



• From the Prince telling me, in page 13, for Mr. LakeanJ 

 me to run as we pleased, was giving me some toleration occa- 

 sionally in my running.
