 man who weighed us was the judge, and that he 

 was huntsman to the city hounds. 



I asked Hindley, who rode Tickle-Toby, which 

 horse that was that was by the side of him as he 

 passed" the winning-post. Hindley said he did 

 not know *. I did not recollect at scale about 

 Mr. Belston's bet, and glad I was, as it could only 

 have served to aggravate me. 



I had the same desire of winning upon Travel- 

 ler, on the first day at York, as ever I had to win 

 on any horse. 



When this race was over, Mr. Baker's groom, 

 Tyziman, seeing Traveller had beaten Cavendish 

 a great way, he pressed me very much to let him 

 and Thomas Fields, the rider, off* of fifty guineas 

 which they stood with their master, Mr. Baker, 

 on Cavendish against Traveller, the match over 

 Newmarket the spring following, which had been 

 made on the Monday night. 



* Tickle-Toby and Traveller were so near to each other pass- 

 ing the winning-post, that Walnut was shut out by them.
