Our next visit was to the paddocks, where Mr. Scott has
three brood mares—Cypriana, Columbine, and Tooi Tooi,
with each a foal. A few months, however, would enable
us to form a better opinion of them, as two out of three are
not above threo months old. One has, at any rate, been
most appropriately named Royal Oak, from the fact of his
being born on that day which is still celebrated for the
well-}mown escape of Charles 11. My Lord is own brother
to Viscount, now a yearling. The latter is, in every sense
of the word, as aristocratic in looks as in name, and has tho
use of a paddock and loose box to himself. It so happened
on the occasion of our inspection Sir Tatton Sykes was
present, and appeared to be favourably impressed with his
good looks; and having the highest opinion of his qualifi-
cations, it would be a gratification to us to hoar of his
having become the purchaser. It would puzzle even " A
Special Correspondent" to find a fault with him. He has
not a weak point in our estimation, and looks the perfec-
tion of a racehorse "in his hocks and everything that is
his." Mr. Fothergill Rowlands also inspected him later
on the same day, probably on behalf of the Duko of Hamil-
ton, whose factotum he is supposed to be, and there is
very little doubt of the colt's speedy sale. The price men-
tioned was a thousand guineas; and most assuredly, from
his splendid appearance, ho ought to turn out cheap at the
money, whilst in comparison with the high prices realised
at the present time for blood stock wo should value him at
doubly the money.
To speak of the details of Mr. Scott's private establish-
ment would show a want of taste which wo shall certainly
avoid, but we may be permitted to mention that he is in
possession of a good many paintings, by " Herring," which
would ornament a nobleman's residence, most of them
being painted expressly for him. Whilst acknowledging
the hospitality and courtesy with which wo have reason
to know he receives all comers, and for which we feel our-
selves under the greatest oblig_ation, it would ho a source
the south of England with a few of his liberal
notions. They, in many cases, are afraid to let any
ono know even the name of their horses,- and the idea
of showing them in the stable is downright sacrilege. A
visit to Whitehall House would assuredly make them blush
at their own shortcomings. Every department is worthy
of notice. Among others a complete saddlery work room
has been fitted up on the premises, where saddles, bridles,
horse-clothes, &c., are made.
