by a doctor's assistant in mistake. When told what must
be his fate, he simply said " that it was hard to die before
one's time." Everybody has heard the story of Lord Pal-
merston's trainer going to look for him in the House of
Commons, and saying to the policeman at the door, " Pm
John Day." A good story is told of. Bill Scott and Sim
Templeman, each playing a waititkg game at Doncaster,
when Scott begged his rival to leave off walking and at
least to trot, and a friend at the rails proposed to bring pipes
and something hot for the pair. The brothers Scott, who as
trainer and jockey carried so many prizes home to Malton,
were instructed by Croft of Middleham. It would not be
superfluous to speak of the training principles of the vete-
ran John Scott. His brother, William Scott, was in his

best day equally masterly in the saddle ; and although in

later years he did not ride races as he had been used to
do in his prime of power, his judgment in riding trials
was to the last infallible. This place —3liddleham, in
Yorkshire, where the Scotts learned their art—was the
home of John Osborne, the master of the unfortunate
Grimshaw. The deceased jockey was engaged to ride
Gladiateur in France. The horse ran in his old
form and won, but the jockey whose name will always be
associated with his was lying still iu death, and awaiting the
day appointed for carrying him to his grave in Yorkshire.
When another "Druid" of the next generation shall collect
the traditions of Middleham and Newmarket, ho will meet
with no more melancholy story than that of poor Harry
Grimshaw, whose youth was full of promise, as his man-
hood of performance, and who, after gaining easy triumphs
ou " the best horse of modern times," was thrown into a
ditch and killed in attempting to drive a horse which pro-
fessionally he would have disdained to ride. Another
jockey will now wear the red and blue of Couut Lagrange,
and although a skilled horseman may be found to replace
Grimshaw, it is likely to be long before the stable produces
a second Gladiateur to carry him. It appears that, on
hearing of Grimshaw's death, the trainer of Gladitniur.
