THROSTLE AND MATCHBOX 377 



Another of our two-year-olds in 1895 was the 

 colt Piety, by Satiety. Carrying Sir Frederick 

 Johnstone's colours, he won the Great Kingston 

 Two- Year-Old race at Sandown Park. He was 

 afterwards sold to Mr. J. S. Morrison, who 

 transferred him to Mr. G. C. Dobell. The latter, 

 who was a good friend of mine, raced in partner- 

 ship with Mr. G. M. Inglis. They won the 

 Manchester Cup with Piety in 1897. Mr. 

 Dobell was a man prominent in the commercial 

 life of Liverpool. John Corlett and I often stayed 

 with him for the Liverpool and Chester meetings. 

 Mr. Dobell had a great regard for the late James 

 Waugh, and generally had one or two horses in 

 training with him. Piety was one of them. 



I have mentioned that Zebac, then known as 

 the Hall Mark colt, was one of our two-year-old 

 winners in 1895. His owner, Mr. Willie Low, 

 also had St. Bris, by St. Simon, in training at Kings- 

 clere that season, but we did not race him until the 

 following year, and then not until Goodwood, where 

 he won the Gratwicke Stakes over a mile and a 

 half from Burgonet, his only opponent. Three 

 days previously the following trial took place :
