LORD ROCHESTER'S DAUGHTER.—Lord Sandwich, being
denied access to by his eccentric Countess, was rendered so
much a cypher, that all the duties of his station devolved
upon, Lord Hinchinbroke, who was an able, active, and spi-
rited young man. His extraordinary mother, one of the
daughters of the witty and repentant Earl of Rochester.
partook of all the tire and vivacity of her father. She de-
tested restraint herself, but put her Lord into " durance
vile " in his own house ! At his death she quitted England,
too stupid, she said, for her, and resided at Paris, in habits
of intimacy with the Duchess of Orleans and Nazarine,
Madame de Berri, the regent's daughter, and also that beau-
tiful octogenary, the Ninon de L'Enclos. Unhappily Lord
Hinchinbroke died in the life-time of his weak. but worthy
father.—Countess of Huntingdon's Life and Times. (Fourth
Thousand.)
THE GREAT ST. LEGF.R STAKES AT DONCASTER.—The
following remarks, compiled with great care, relative to this
interesting race. will no doubt be acceptable to
our sporting
friends. The Doncaster St. Leger, was instituted in the
year 1776, by the late Colonel St. Leger, of Park Hill, near
Doncaster; but it was not until
three years afterwards that
it was called the St. Leger, which it was named by the late
noble Marquis of Rockingham, at a dinner at the Red Lion
Inn, Doncaster, on the entry
day, in compliment to the gen-
tleman with whom the race originated. Its appellation of
Leger has been stated to have been derived from the French
word Legere, light weight ; this, however applicable, is not
correct. The weights, when first instituted, were—colts, Bst. ;
fillies, 7st. 121 b. In the year 1789 they were altered to—
colts, Bst. 21b. ; fillies, Bst. Distance, 1 mile 6 furlongs and
193 yards. So says the author of " Portraits of the winners
of the St. Leger ;" but the weights are now—colts, Bst. 6lb. ;
fillies, Bst. 31b., though the compiler of this table has not
been able to discover the year in which the last change was
made. Other authorities state the length of the St.
Leer
course differently. In " llodgson's Turf Remembrancer' it
1,7
souhtnasooln,sßacine atßa leimile 6 furlongs and 132 yards ; whilst in
Calendar" the measurement, inside the
coarse, is stated to be 1 mile 6 furlongs 200 yards ; and in
the middle of the course, 1 mile 7 furlongs and 20 yards.
The first quoted measurement is believed to be the correct
one. Down to 1831 the subscription was 25 sovs. each, but
since that year it has been 50 sovs. each, h. ft. The Marquis
of Rockingham's br or b f Allabucalia was the winner of the
first stakes. She was ridden by J. Singleton, sea., and five
started. The greatest number of horses started in the year
1835, when the number was thirty, and the race that year
was won by Mr. Watt's b c Memnon, ridden by William
Scott. There were 107 subscribers last year, 1839, and the
greatest prior to that was 97, in 1829. The least number of
subscribers was five, in 1785. The jockey who has been the
most successful was John Jackson, he having won the St.
Leger Stakes eight times. John Mangle won six times, four
of them in succession. The Duke of Hamilton's horses
(before and after he attained his dukedom) won the greatest
number of stakes, viz., six,. and three of them in succession,
from 1786 to 1788 inclusive, all ridden by Mangle. The Hon.
E. R. Petre's horses also were the winners for three years
together. Down to the year 1790 it was usual to place
all the horses that started, but, in that year nine started and
only three were placed ; two is now the general number.
Fifty-one colts and only 13 fillies have been winners, and out
of the whole sixty-four only one was of a black colour, and
that was Mr. Gascoigne's Jerry, in 1824. Highilver arid Sir
Peter were sires to the greatest number of winning. horses,
viz., four each. Flora, by Squirrel, the property of Lord
Hamilton, was the dam of Spandille, who won in 1787, and
also of Young Flora, who won the stakes the following year,
this being the only instance of two foals out of the same dam
winning the stakes in consecutive years. In only six instances
has the winner of the St. Leger also won the gold cup in the
same year, viz.—Mr. Hutchinson's chesnut
. colt, Young
Traveller, in 1791, Sir C. Turner's Hambletonian, in 1795,
Lord Strathrnore's bay colt, Remerubrancer, in 1803, Mr.
Watt's bay colt, Don John, in 1833, Lord Chesterfield's bay
colt, Don John, in MS ; and Major Yarbur bay colt,
Charles Twelfth, in 1839; and it is remarkable that five of
the six wort bay colta.-Prkteck infelligfnctr.
