Mr. Perceval and Lord Sidmouth were Premiers, and that ia oil tli.it is known of them ;but if they had been great racing men, there would have been hundreds of enthusiasts who would treasure up .th minute descriptions in which a Turf writer would have collected all (he traditionary stream of knowledge bearing on their physical and mental gifts, on their successes and failures, the way they cairied iheir heads, and the way they turned out their feet. ILL tell you what it is, my old friends a Word at said a candidate, when he had been starting, met at the station, and duly conducted to a dais at the end of his Committee Room ;I mnot going to stand up here for a speech to-night, but Fll just come dffum and smoke a pipe with you .I twas six to four on him at once, and the takers had the worst of it on the polling day. Such a homely solution of the starting difficulty might make the Jockey Club prick up its ears, and fill the author-world with the direst envy. It suits our own humour to a nicety. We want to settle down quickly into our stride, and tell from our note-book, as of yore, the post and paddock recollections of many an old Engli.sh and Scottish worthy.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
