In 1881 Gully went into partnership with

they won the Two Thousand Guineas in

In 1916 Gully should have won the derby
with weatherbit. but the colt became un-
manageable on the course and in a mad
dash to break way umped over Pam,
another horse in the race. and Merry
Monarch. an inferior colt. came home a
winner. Next year-1Sle-Gully was des-
tined TO score double firsts at Epson. a
feat never accomplished by any owner up
TO that time. Pyrrhus the First landed
the derby and Mendicant came home in
the Oaks. In his 2-year-old year Pyrrhus
was such a poor performer that Day sold
his interest I'm him for $500 10 Gully. Early
In his 3-year-old season he won the New
market Stakes and beat a real good animal
IN lago, when II dawned on Gully that
there was something in the colt.
A must sitter test which was given him
convinced the owner that he had a first
rate chance at Epson, and some bets were
placed on the colt in the meantime. Pyr-
rhus went to the post a warm favorite
and beat Sir Tatton Sykes and a field
Of twenty, winning $50, 900 for Gully. The
colt was prevented from starting in the
st. Leger, but as a 4-year-old he continued
his winning career by securing among
other big races the Orange cup at Good
wood. At the stud he did exceedingly we'll

them being Virgo.
over the filly Mendicant, for the Oaks.
Gully was forestalled by Lord George
Bentinck. He was told that the filly was
better than the colt and he backed her
warmly. The public took the tin from
Lord George, so the owner had little or
no chance to obtain odds worth while and
he did not make near as much as he did
in the derby. Mendicant ran for the
Chester cup, when a 4-year-old with liz
pounds in the saddle and was only beaten
a short head. In the Ascot week OF that
same year she was sold to Sir Joseph Haw-
ley for $40, 1000. and he thought he got a bad
bargain, for she ran very poorly for the
Ascot cup. Blu she proved to be a veri.
table gold mine and ten years later she,
with her son Beadsman. brought him the
astounding price Of $4,000.
Gully continued his success on the turf
with varying fortune till 1854, when he had
another streak OF good luck, and he was
then Il years OF age, but his eye for a good
animal had lost none of its sharpness. That
year he won the 1000 guineas with the Her
init, and the Derby with Andover. He had
only a part ownership in Andover, but II
is certain that the colt would have never
figured at all at EPSON, but for Gully. In
the spring Of 1859 Gully was staying at
Danebury for a while, and one day he
caught sight Of three yearllngs, one OF
which impressed him. This one was An
dover. and he inquired Of Padwick, the
owner, IL the colt was for sale. Padwick
said no, and told Gully that he had Just
paid 5000 for him. Then Gully inquired
II q partnership could be formed, and to
this Padwick consented. The colt was then
placed in Gully's care and every hour Of
his work was closely watched until he
flew past the post at EPSON.
When Gully ran for Parliament he was
opposed by Lord Marlborough for the
Pontefraot seat and the contest was fought
out bitterly. Gully's rival used the fact
that he was once a prtzefighter against
him and he all the time wanted to know
II the constituents cared to be represented
by that class OF a man. Evidently they
did. for they elected Gully and he aid very
well at Westminster
