Zinganee, with Chifney as jockey, for the Ascot Cup, 

 which he had already won in 1823, on Lord DarHngton's

R. BoYCE was the winner of His Majesty's Plate in 

 1828 ; Mays won the ^50 Plate on Cydnus in 1824 ; 

 Macdonald carried off the Gold Cup in 1828, and His 

 Majesty's Plate in three several years. Miller appears as 

 the winner of the Gold Subscription Cup in 1826; Tant

 same year Conolly began a successful career which lasted 

 till 1 84 1, and included victories in the Swinlcy, Woking- 

 ham, Albany, and Oatlands Stakes, and Her Majesty's 

 Gold and Silver Vases. Between the years 1826 and 1828 

 the younger Buckle won four races at Ascot. 



S. Block is a jockey of this period, whose name is 

 found as the winner of a race in 1826, and G. & H. 

 Edwards appear in 1827 and 1828, the latter winning five 

 races between that year and 1833. 



The year 1827 may be taken as the beginning of 

 another period amongst Ascot jockeys. A. Pavis then 

 began his record of forty-two successes with the Swinley 

 Stakes on Maria. In 1830 he won the Gold Cup, the 

 Oatlands Stakes, and His Majesty's Plate of 100 guineas, 

 carrying off the latter on three other occasions.

 age was placed in Frank Neale's stables, at Newmarket.

 soon afterwards appeared at Newmarket. He won the 

 Derby in 1833 o"^ Dangerous, and the Oaks, the same 

 year, for Sir Mark Wood, on Vespa, both at very long 

 odds. In 1838 he won the Derby for Sir Gilbert Heath-
