fine horses for generations past. Mr..

founded the NEWMARKET race-course
near Petersburg. that flourished till the
beginning Of the war. and was tina scene
OF some notable contests between most

left no descendants. His younger brother
Philip who came over later. was also

greater extent than even his f0refathers.
He IL not only an expert horseman. but
an able cross. country rider, and
clever entertaining writer on those aub-
jects. To these accomplishments are
added the charms OF trained intellect
and polished manners. A recent produc-
