it must have been a very late foal, and but o g«. without Us 
engagements was the first hid, which swelled eventually to 
21 gs., and set the “sum total” of the sale, vans and 
suddlerv not included, nt nearly (100 g<. 
Cttfnach elegies upon poor old Beeswing will no doubt bo 
as rife now iu “cannio Newca^tlo ” as paeans have been 
during the last nineteen years. She was perhaps not such 
a high-class mare as Alice Hawthorn, but she nearly always 
managed to be in form, and if Wedge, Charles XII., or 
Lanercost, did get the bettor of her, she generally contrived 
to pay them off at some I'ntnro time. The sea of sorrow 
which seemed to sweep over the hearts of her twonty thou- 
sand admirers, when Lanercost jost outslrode her by a bead 
for the Cup there in 1810, and the grotesque scene behind 
the stand, when on the following year she turned the tables, 
an I her owner fin a most shocking hut and a heard of a 
week’s growth) mounted n table there, and, champagne 
gloss in hand, proposed the health of “ Bob Johnson and 
the old mare,” amid clieera which must have startled the 
shepherds on the Grampian Hills, will bear no telling. 
How first-class winners kept up their characters so well, after 
dropping such lumps of condition in road journoys, seems 
rather puzzling in those railroad days. 
Her crack sons, Newminster and Nunnyklrk, have been 
alike lucky and luckless, and her general career as a brood 
mnro has been sadly chequered. She began badly, us her 
ttr»t foul Old Port ran in the very rear for Coss <ck’s Derby. 
Next year she was barren to her old foo, Lanercost, and 
then came the first of the Touchstones, in the shape of the 
elegant Nunnykirk. She did not look farther afield next 
year than Sir Charles Monk’s Galanthus, but the produce, 
Bonnie Bee, was never (it for anything but tho stud, and 
was both at Kuwciiff- Paddocks and Eaton with her dam. 
Newminster was -curcely such a good animal as his brother 
Nunnykirk, and Norhum, by Birdcatcher, was a confirmed 
roarer, and died in his two-year-old season without making 
his bow in public. She hud then three black fillies in auc- 
ces-ion to Touchstone— to wit, Honoydew, Honeysuckle 
(who is said to be very fine and promising), and a third, 
which died before it camo Into tho hands ol Lord Egllnton, 
who contracted luttorly to take hor annual produce ut u 
certain sum. Tho colt she had to Plying Dutchman In 
1853 must 1)0 dead, as it is entered in nothing, and we do not 
even find its name among the list of foals to Flying Dutch- 
man ill the Racing Calendar, although two others of Lord 
Eglinton’s nre entered thorn. It was found on examination 
after dentil that she was about to prnduco another brown 
colt to him. but it had evidently been dead sorno hours. 
Tho old mare, who was rising 22, had latterly become very 
infirm. Her feet were cut off, and carefully sent to Mr. 
Orde’s, nt Nunnykirk, where they will no doubt be preserved 
in some shape or other, and she was then huried with all 
duo honour in the garden of tho head stud groom, Mr 
Charles Fisher, who used to train at Newmarket for his 
lordship and General Anson. Touchstone, who is, however, 
very fresh now, and having a capital season, will, no doubt, 
in tho fulness of time, be buried near her. Three Derbys 
and three St. Logcrs have already fallen bofore tho stock of 
this distinguished polygamist. Ilia own old Ascot Cup 
victories remind us of the strange fact, that Sir James Wylie, 
M.D., who was knighted there on the Cup day of 1814 by 
the Prince Regent, has just loft all liis fortuno to hisimporiul 
patient Nicholas. Rumour says that tho amount will re- 
imburse that potentate five times ovor, for the £5,000 he 
has expended on us in Emperor’s Vases. The racing world 
may therefore reasonably feel that Ascot and her Sinope 
atron are quite quits at lost. 
“The |d'-B of March arc again marked by the advent of 
“ ltuff’s Guide," which quite distances all competition, and is 
got up with a wonderful accuracy and spirit which never 
flags. As u proof of this, wo may mention that tho list of 
horses in training, each with its “ schoolmaster " annexed, 
is corrected up to March 8th, while the calendar of the 
season is carried up to the 10th, inclusive. 170 animals, it 
seems, are in training in Ireland, and about 1,190 in 
England. There is a Nancy among them, but she is 
in Rolph’s hands, and therefore wo do not fancy that 
she is the veritable daughter of Pompey. It is whispered 
in Middleh&m, that Lord Egllnton still retains such a 
fancy for this hone, that he intends to send Barbelle 
to him as soon us she has fouled to Orlando, w hich she is, 
we believe, expected to do this month. The English and 
Scotch trainers number 155, of which 3r are marked 
“ private," a designation which applies to 4 out of the Irish 
19. Among them John Scott has 16 masters, Osborne 14 
ar.d John Day, junior, 15, including Sir Joseph Hawley 
The Earl of Lonsdale re-nppeBrs at tho head of Rogers’s 
masters, and the Earl of Uxbridge and Lord G. A. Lonnox 
still train with Kent. 
The jockeys on the English list number 243, ready to scale 
at all weights from 8 >t. 7 lbs. to 4 st. Charlton lias only 
gained 2 lbs. since la.-t year, and i- steady ut 7 st. ; while 
i hut wonderfully clever lad, Aldcroft, declares 0 st. 12 lbs., 
and has two new musters in the Earl of Glasgow and Mr. 
Gregory. Cioucli is at the same weight, and is engaged to 
Mr. Harvey Coomho ; and Iliottisat G st. G lbs., hut with 
no masters. Sir Joseph Hawley has now the second call of 
Allred Dhv, a'ter Mr. Harry Hill, and Lord Clifden tho 
flfdi j while Marlow bus added Lord Exeter (lor whom he 
ha-i ridden at intervals for some seasons past) and Mr. 
Mnegennis to his li-t. Young Osborne is now at 7 sf. 7 lbs.; 
Temple man, at 8 st. 2 lbs., ha-, new retainers from Lord 
Derby and Mr. Cookeon ; and Nat, who has changed his 
7 st. (5 lbs. into 7 St. 7 lbs., has all his old masters, with the 
exception of the “ Lord of Goodwood." Wells, whose 
“lowest riding weight " is 0 st., has, we believe, declined 
to form any engagement except with Mr. Howard, who 
gave liiin his first Derby mount; and Mr. _G. Wentworth 
appears us seventh master to Job M arson, in lieu of Sir 
Charles Monek. 
Frank Butler, we nre glad to see, declares 8st. 7 lhs. ns 
his lowest riding weight; and really, when many owners 
are glad to give away weight to get him, it is a sad pity 
to see him wasting himself down to 8st. 4 lbs., as lie has 
one for Songstress in two successive Ascot meetings. 
, 'I h rx .g-rr.-itcd announcement of his illness created such 
a painful *un*..tu.n at Doncaster, that we hardly felt justi- 
fied in alluding to at all till we had made more inquiry. 
Having done so, we • oice to hear that he is now a good 
deal better, and has got about again ; and that a London 
physician, who has been specially summoned, considers 
that he has been only suffering from very severe bronchitis. 
The Warwick Trial Stakes, in which Cobnut, Snowdon, 
Duohill, Defiance, Rataplan, Orson, and Ethelbert nre en- 
gaged, would have possessed considerable interest, if Mr. 
Furr had not been in Huch force. 
Salisbury calls for little more comment than a notice of 
THE FIELD. 
the fact, that the first winner out of Alice Hawthorn ap- 
peared in the person of Oulston by Melbourne. Roarer or 
no roarer, we have scarcely seen such a sire for many a 
long day. Dervish is becoming a very strong favourite, 
and the (lit is, that lie holds his position by virtue of a 
trial on the Monday before Doncaster, in which Temple- 
[Saturday, 
man was on him, and Holmes on Acrobat. We confess 
that we neither know whether the report \< a true one, and 
still less whether the trial was. Tho public must not jump 
at conclusions too hastily, where they have such a wury bird 
as “The Trainer- King " lo deal with.
