            Hit juvenes distant, et ameut meminisse senzies.

     (Here the young may learn, and the aged love to remember.)


T   HIS publication is designed not only for those more or less
      acquainted with the history of the Turf, and who may have
acquired an abiding interest in all that concerns it, but for such of the
general community as may desire to know something of those equine
celebrities which have figured, in the most captivating of all our national
pastimes, as winners of the three great classic races, of the Ascot,
Goodwood, and Doncaster Cups, and of other cups, stakes, and matches
at different race meetings throughout the kingdom, during the past
centuries.
  In the arrangement of the work strict chronological order has been
observed, whereby the comparative merits of the various competing
horses can be accurately gauged and estimated at their proper standard.

J. F. HERRING.



      R. J. F. HERRING in early life was the well-known coachman
M      of the York and London Highflyer; but, in the year that
Jack Spigot won the Doncaster, St. Leger, he discarded the reins for
the mahl-stick and easel. Doncaster, and its Town-Moor associations,
whetted his zeal for the brush, long before he took to it as a profession;
and many a horse and mail-coach, sketched by him, crept on to the
tavern-walls and signs.  Smolensko and  Comus were among      his
earliest essays. His dining-room was filled with the prints from  his
works, among which figured Sultan, with his beautiful Arab head, and
dish-nose, not however more beautiful than Attila. Langar's was
another of his glorious heads, as were those also of Doctor Syntax,
Mameluke, P'artisan, and the lovely Venison, with his deep, fiery eye and
tapering nose.
  Herring was wont to say that the coarsest horse he ever painted
was Ardrossan, as his neck was even heavier than that of the Godolphin
Arabian. Welbeck too (sire of the neat little Bedlamite), was also in the
list of his ugly ones; but Mr. J. G. Lambton's Don Juan, by Orville,
was one of his special delights, as were also Magistrate and Filho-da-
Puta; while the Duchess, by Cardinal York, who always ran in the
highest company and held her own, was his prima-donna among the
small, as Crucifix and Queen of Trumps were among the larger, mares.
No horse, however (Mr. Herring declared), that he ever painted,
impressed him so much as Bay Middleton, and he always expressed his
belief that this magnificent son of Sultan possessed heart and energy
enough to do just what he liked with his competitors on the Turf.
Mr. Herring painted three horses for Flier Majesty, viz., Korseed (a white
Arab), Bag dad (a black charger of Prince Albert's), and Said (an Arab
kept for the use of the children).

THE WHIP.



               (FrOm the SPORTING MAGAZINEtr Augsust, 1823.)

H    AVING been favoured by Mr. J. H. Green, of Ludlow, with a fac-
       simile of " The Whip," taken while it was in the possession of
Mr. Charlton, we considered that our readers would be pleased at its
forming one of the embellishments of this work.
  The Whip is of very antique appearance, and by no means a splendid
trophy. The handle, which is very heavy, is of silver, with a ring at the
end of it for a wristband, which is made of the mane of Eclipse. The
upper part is like all other whips, except the lash, which is made of the
tail of Eclipse. It is reported to be the identical whip which Charles II.
was in the habit of riding with, and which he presented to some Noble-
man, whose arms it bears, as being the owner of the best horse in
E ngland. This gave rise to the challenge, which for many years promoted
admirable sport on the turf, till his present Majesty won it with Auriel, in
the year 1787, in whose possession it continued till Mr. Charlton challenged
fbr it, with his celebrated horse Master Henry.t
  We should be happy to give place to a more satisfactory description,
if favoured with it by any correspondent, who may make researches on
the subject. Lord Foley having challenged for The Whip with his horse
Sultan, which Mr. Charlton declined, his Lordship now retains the prize.



 Lord Montague, who possessed the finest breed of horses in the kingdom.

THE WHIP.



                (From tke SPORTING MAGAZINEfor Decmber, 1829.)
  SIR,
          In case you should approve the following lines (on seeing The
Whip pronounced as unworthy of an attempt to obtain possession of it), I
shall feel obliged by their insertion in your Magazine.

                                                   (Signed)    MAMELUKE.

                And was it said-" a valuable horse
                Should not be made to run the Beacon Course,
                Nor stake two hundred pounds of useful tip,
                For a prize-nct worth a Lawyer's fee-The Whip"
                Should there remain no monument to tell,
                How Second Charles for Plates exchanged the Belle
                And how he raised the best of sports on high,
                From the drear depths of lone obscurity 
                For what did Kings, on famed Olympia's plain,
                Stretch every nerve, and loosen every rein,
                Hindmost or foremost, persevering staunch-
                For what, I ask -'Twas for an " Olive Branch:"
                Then why in vain essay to dock and nip
                The sprouting honours of King Charles's Whip 
                What! though no DINNER STAKES now greet the sight,
                Nor PORT nor CLARET thirsty souls invite;
                What! though no "GARDEN STAKES " can boast their reign,
                Nor ancient " OATLAN DS " t spread their rich domain I
                Can these alone a true-born Sportsman fire 
                These only fan an Englishman's desire
                Not so-the glory of The Whip shall last
                (If I may judge the future by the past)
                While grow on land POTOOOOOOOO, SHARKS in seas;
                While DRONES give trouble to the lab'ring bees;
                While CREEPERS spread, while smiths the ANVIL raise,
                And, in each sign, ST. GEORGE the DRAGON slays:
                While lives, in Egypt's variable story,
                The SULTAN'S, MAMELUKE'S and MEMNON'S glory.

    A silver bell, anciently run for at Newmarket, and elsewhere, in the reign of James the
 First.
   t The Dinner, Port, Claret, Garden, and the Oatlands Sta'kes were some of the richest
 prizes run for, at Newmarket, in bygone days.

of Filho da Puta.

   "The Druid," in writing- of Haphazard, says that " he was a gay, nag-looking horse,
N with a low back, and very fine action, but never a great favourite. Billy Pierse thought he
Ilad hardly ever been on a truer four-mile horse than him and Agonistes, both of the same

t hird and last. From " Silk and Scarlet."
