Lis son, Lord Harley, for the attentions he paid to the numerous
company present on each day, and with which all were highly
gratified. Within the last two years Mr. Wm. Stone, the Clerk

satisfaction of the Sporting Gentlemen, and for which he has
justly received the thanks of the Gentlemen of the city and
