Hummer:side was third, beating only by a like distance
froze that which separated Many Heart from Catch
'eell Alive. On returning to male, • some of so-
paralleled confusion and excitement aromen tbe weighing
inch as before had been witnessed in the
za of Newmarket, and which taxes our efforts I.
edeozately describe. Fortunately. bowever, for our
purpose, the official finessed of the Turf has placed on
record the particular' of the transaction, from whence
we gather them. It memo that on Catch 'em Alive
raturnieg to the weighing.room, Sammy Adams, his
jockey, could not draw the proper weight, to the great
horror of his owners, who stood an enormous stake of
ninon on him, and also of William Day, who was on
the punt of having all his hopes nipped in the bud. A
'whip was then brought in, which was stated to he the
fele be bad used io the race ,• this barely made him
*eight, and Lord Westmoreland naturally objected to
the jockey being weighed with anything given to him 1
after be bad got into the scales. At this terming the '
scene was tremendously exciting, for there were Sir
William Codrington and his traitor equally confident
of their jockey having been weighed out all right, and
Lord Westenorleed, whose fortunes would have been
completely revolutionized if be had sustained his objec-
tion. Then Mr. Manning, than whom we will under-
take to say no ens understands his guineas better, and
who boa weighed more jockeys than any man alive, for
the first time during his official canier could not make
up hie mind tops.. Adame and hesitated what mune
to adopt, Mr. Charge Weatherby looked serious, and
the fen of Mr. Clarke was becoming his position.
Outside the tweighing house tbe mese was scarcely lem
animsted, for the Ring was deeply interested to the
dispute, as the success of Merry Heart, who was not
nieuti..nrd in the betting, would have made a tremen-
dous difference in their !gluon ; and they beseiged the
room, giviug expression to then hopes and fears, as the
state of their books wet:gated. In the meantime Mr.
Manning felt it incumbent to call in the presence of the
stewards of the Jockey Club, and Admiral Rona, Lord
Coventry. and Mr. Alexander entered the weighing.
room together, like the Bench of Judge. when called
epee to loco the House of Lords ins legal discussion.
The fint objection that was made to them, which was
that a jockey not having brought a whip with him ,
into the "ale c mid not weigh with it, they declared ,
to be valid : and the jockey of Merry Heart "having
paned the Doctor," to use • itied:cal phrase, the
at wends were on the point of &weediest the race to that
here., when Sommerside was weighed, and decluol to
lee also Mort of weight. This was too mach for Mr.
Meeting's equilibrium, and he accordingly requested
the beaks should be mime:wed, when, horrible to
relate, it was discovered that some load had been
affixed to the bottoms of the weight scale. When this
was lemoved. and the male adjusted, the stewards
kit satisfied that Adieus would have drawn his proper
weight if the seeks had been adjusted before he weighed,
and oeing confirmed in that impreseion by Mr. Mantling,
Catch 'ens Alive was pronounced to be the winner of
the Cambridgeshire. It Is far beyond our power to
describe the sensation of horror which arose at New.
market when the news that the males bad been tam-
pered with had transpired, and it was rather fortunate,
perhaps, that they were rectified so quickly, or Consols
might have been effected, for it was like tampering with
the fountain of junkie at its very centre point. Forte-
nately the stewards were equal to the occasion, and on
• drum-head coaremarshal being summoned, they
offered a reward of fifty pounds for the discovery of
the delinquent, which did not lead to his apprehension.
And if detected it is horrible to coejeeture what his
late would have been, for none of the Law Reformers
bad included this mime in their digests ; and the very
least punishment it was said would have been awarded
hiss was death, wittiest the bough of guy. In addi-
tion to these hones, Mr. Start owned at one time Bey
Cella, the dam of The Earl sadTbe Duke, which be bought
as • foal at General Peg's sale; and from her gnomes at
the stud, it Mom that his estimate of her was not
mistakes. Mr. Start has rarely had three or four
hors. In training at age. and his protect lot consists
of thaw de Buss, sod half of Maid of Athol, wheal
be has with SO Frederick Johnstom, and be also owned
Bulky, who ran second lad year to Sign for the
Royal Hoot Cup at Ascott
But ft is not only on the Turf Mr. Start is well
known as a sportsman, but formerly he was squally
conspicuous is a rider to bounds ; and when Mt.
George Payne had the Pytohley, he sad Mr. Davenport
Bromley were smond tenons in England across country.
Probably few men were entered to hounds at an earlier
age than Mr. Start, for when he went to Mon, at
thirteen, dunes his holidays, his father took him out
on a sixteen-band bunter with Mr. Foljange, and the
young one, who had a quick eye to hounds sad a capital
hands, curried all before ben in an excellent run of fiver
and-forty minutes, his horse, who had hitherto bees
accustomed to welter weights, treating our hero as he
would have done a four.tenner in tbe racing stables.
At fint Mr. Foljernbe was perfectly furious with bim,
and read the Riot Act in no measured terms; but after
the run wee over he was completely softened by the
exhibition he bad seen of the young Rtonien'a prowne
In the bunting field.
la concluding our sketch of Mr. Stun, we may state
that he unites with great sood nature, • degree of
native shrewdness and ability, which has enabled his
to steer clear of all the rooks and shoals which beset
the curers of so many of the followers of the Turf.
And, bred up by his father in the strictest ming of
honour asel integrity, his name has
up with any transaction of • questionable nattue 011
the Turf, for he rightly commie's that although he is
an owner of raceborms, that foot doee not absolve him
from the due übeervenee Of the obligations that are
owing by him to the other in, nibers of society, while
Donetshire will sedum our sentiments as to the
esteem in which be is held by his constituents.
