cepted, with the proviso that £lOO additional should be
paid to Mr. Tomlinson out of the first race the colt won,
and £l,OOO if it won the Derby. The first event took
place last year, when the £lOO was paid, and Sir Joseph,
wishing to be off the second coatingent, offered Mr. Tom-
linson £5OO to forego it. Tbis he accepted ; and, at a
time when Teddington was not much in favour for the
Derby, he took a bet of £4OO to £2O upon it, which of
course he wins, so that the present of the" old mare" has
been to him of the value of £1,250.
