'Circumstances with which the world are familiar rendering the

retirement of the Duke of York requisite, his stud came to the

hammer, and Mr. Greville came to the assistance of his uncle, the

Duke of Portland, who trained with Prince. With the Duke Mr.

Greville remained some little time, and afterwards became

confederate with Lord Chesterfield, who was at that time coming

out, and was in great force with his Zinganee, Priam, Carew,

Glaucus, and other crack horses. During this time he had few

horses of any great account of his own, although his confederate

had nothing to complain of in the shape of luck. At the

termination of this confederacy Mr. Greville entered upon another

with his cousin, Lord George Bentinck, who, from his father's

hostility to his racing, was unable to run horses in his own

name. The extent of this stud was so great that we are unable to

deal with it at the same time with the horses of the subject of

our memoir, who can scarcely be said to have come across a really

smashing good mare until he met with Preserve, with whom, in

1834, he won the Clearwell and Criterion, and in the following

year the One Thousand Guineas, besides running second for the

Oaks to Queen of Trumps. A difference of opinion as to the

propriety of starting Preserve for the Goodwood Stakes led to

their separation, and for a time they were on very bad terms, but

by the aid of mutual friends a reconciliation was effected. From

what Preserve did for him, Mr. Greville was induced to dip more

freely into the blood, or, as old John Day would have said, to

take to the family, and accordingly he bought Mango, her own

brother, of Mr. Thornhill, who bred him. Mango only ran once as a

two-year-old, when, being a big, raw colt, he was not quick

enough on his legs for the speedy Garcia filly of Col. Peel and

John Day's Chapeau d'Espagne, and was easily beaten. In the

spring Mango made so much improvement that Mr. Greville backed

him for the Derby for a good stake; and had he been able to have

continued his preparation at Newmarket, and been vanned to Epsom,

as is the custom in the present day, there is little doubt he

would have won; but having to walk all the way from Newmarket, he

could not afford to lose the days that were thus consumed, and

although he ran forward he did not get a place. That this view of

the case is not a sanguine one is proved by his beating Chapeau

d'Espagne, the second for the Oaks, for the Ascot Derby, and

within an hour afterwards bowling over Velure, the third in that

race, for William the Fourth's Plate. On the Cup Day he likewise

beat the Derby favourite, Rat-Trap, over the Old Mile. At

Stockbridge, in a sweepstakes of 100 sovs. each, with thirteen

subscribers, he frightened all the field away with the exception

of Wisdom, whom he beat cleverly, and then he remained at

Dilly's, at Littleton, to be prepared for the St. Leger. Having

stood his work well, John Day brought over The Drummer and

Chapeau d'Espagne from Stockbridge to try him on Winchester

race-course. Both Mr. Greville and Lord George Bentinck had

reason to be satisfied with what Mango did in his gallop on that

morning, and the latter backed him very heavily for the

race--much more so, indeed, than his owner. Mr. Greville was

anxious to have put up John Day, but the Duke of Cleveland having

claimed him for Henriade, he was obliged to substitute his son

Sam, a very rising lad, with nerves of iron and the coolest of

heads. The race was a memorable one, inasmuch as William Scott,

who was on Epirus, the first favourite, fell into the ditch soon

after starting, and Prince Warden running over him and striking

him with his hind leg, he sustained a severe fracture of the

collar-bone. Henriade also came down about a distance from home

from a dog crossing the course. John Day, however, soon righted

him, but the _contretemps_ spoilt his chance. At the stand there

were but three in the struggle--The Doctor, Abraham Newland, and

Mango. The two former seemed to be making a match of it, and it

looked impossible for Mango to get up; but a slight opening

presenting itself, which was not visible to the spectators, Sam

Day, with a degree of resolution which justifies the attributes

we have before ascribed to him, sent his horse through with such

a terrific rush that his breeches were nearly torn off his boots,

and won by a neck.

'After the race Lord George, who was a very heavy winner, gave

Honest John £500 for his trial with the Drummer; the like sum to

Sam Day for having ridden him better than he was ridden in the

Derby, and an equivalent proportion to Montgomery Dilly for

preparing him better than Prince for the same race. Mango was

afterwards sent to Newmarket for the St. Leger, and "Craven," who

then edited the "Sporting Magazine," having asserted that Mr.

Greville had caused it to be reported that Mango was lame to get

him back in the markets for that race, he called on him to

apologise for the statement, which proving, by the volunteered

testimony of Lord George Bentinck, Colonel Anson, and Admiral

Rous, to be wholly without foundation, the writer in question

made Mr. Greville the fullest _amende honorable_. Mango only won

once again as a four-year-old, when he carried off a sweepstakes

of 300 sovereigns at Newmarket, beating Chapeau d'Espagne and

Adrian. Having thus established himself with Dilly, owing to Mr.

Payne, with whom he had become confederate, training at

Littleton, Mr. Greville made no change until Dilly gave up, when

he continued his confidence to his brother William Dilly, who

succeeded him on his retirement from Lord Glasgow.

'It was some few years before Mr. Greville had another good

horse, at least one that is worth dwelling upon, and Alarm must

be considered the legitimate successor to Mango. This colt Mr.

Greville purchased of his breeder, Captain George Delmé, and

tried him good enough to win the Derby in 1845 in a canter, even

in the face of such animals as Idas and The Libel. But just prior

to starting an accident occurred by which all Mr. Greville's

hopes were destroyed; for The Libel flying at Alarm very

savagely, he jumped the chains, threw Nat who lay for a time

insensible on the ground, and ran away. He was, however, soon

caught and remounted, and although much cut about ran forward

enough to justify the idea that but for his accident he must have

won, as no other animal could have got through the Cambridgeshire

with 7st. 10lb. on him so easily as he did in a field of such

quality as he met. In the following year Alarm made some amends

for his Epsom failure, by winning the Ascot Cup, as well as the

Orange Cup at Goodwood, the latter after a terrific race with

Jericho. He also, at Newmarket in the autumn, won three great

matches in succession, viz. with Oakley, the Bishop of Romford's

cob, and Sorella. Going through the "Calendar," Cariboo is the

next most noteworthy animal we come across, for it will be

recollected he ran second to Canezou for the Goodwood Cup, having

been lent to make running for her. But it is almost needless to

add that, had Mr. Greville known him to be as good as he was, he

would have been started on his own account, in which case the cup

in all probability would have gone to Bruton Street instead of to

Knowsley. Continuing our track through the "Calendar," we light

on a better year for Mr. Greville, in 1852, when he had really

two good animals in Adine and Frantic. With the former, at York,

he had perhaps the best week he ever had in his life, having won

both the Yorkshire Oaks and Ebor Handicap with her, besides

beating Daniel O'Rourke with Frantic, who two months before had

carried off the Union Cup for him at Manchester. The following

year Adine did a good thing for him by winning the Goodwood

Stakes, and two years afterwards he again won that race with

Quince.

'Between Adine and Quince's years came Mr. Greville's last good

horse, Muscovite, whom he thought impossible to lose the

Metropolitan, and backed him accordingly. He was much put out,

however, by old John Day telling him he had no chance with his

mare Virago. At first Mr. Greville was incredulous at what John

told him, and made him acquainted with the form of Muscovite.

This made not the slightest impression on the old man, who merely

went on repeating Mr. Greville must back Virago for £500, and the

value of the advice was proved by the mare beating the horse very

easily. Muscovite's career for a time was a very unfortunate one,

for when in Dockeray's stable he was so "shinned" that his chance

for the Goodwood Stakes was completely out, and his trainer, who

could not discover the offender, and who was terribly annoyed at

the circumstance, begged he might be transferred to William

Dilly's, at Littleton. While there he was betted against for the

Caesarewitch in the same determined manner as he had been for his

other races, and when he arrived at Newmarket, and stood in Nat's

stables, which were perfectly impregnable, there was no cessation

in the opposition to him, although his trainer told everybody

that unless he was shot on the Heath, which he could not prevent,

he would walk in. This he did, and the crash he produced is still

fresh in the public recollection; but it is creditable to the

bookmaker who laid the most money against him to state that out

of £23,000 which he lost, he paid £16,000 down on the spot, an

act which procured him time for the remainder.

'Since Muscovite, who is now at the stud at Newmarket, Mr.

Greville has had no animal that has done a really good thing for

him, though Anfield made another determined attempt at the

Goodwood Stakes this year; and having, at Lord Ribblesdale's sale

of General Peel's horses, purchased Orlando, and added him to his

establishment at Hampton Court, he has turned his attention

perhaps more to breeding than racing. For some time his returns

were very large, but of late, from the age of Orlando, and from

getting some of his stock so small, they have diminished in

amount, although the old horse looks as fresh as a four-year-old,

and preserves all that fine symmetry for which he was remarkable

both in and out of training. Latterly Mr. Greville, from being

the confederate of Mr. Payne, has trained with Alec Taylor at

Fyfield; but with Godding he has generally two or three at

Newmarket.

'In turning to Mr. Greville in his private capacity we hardly

know how to treat him, for his is a nature that shrinks from

having his good deeds brought before the glare of the public eye.

No man, ever so high or low, we believe, ever sought his advice

and assistance in vain; and to no one individual, probably, have

so many and such various difficulties been submitted. Neither can

we remember a new trial or even an appeal demanded by those who

had sought his counsel. Beloved by his friends, and feared by his

opponents, Mr. Greville will ever be considered one of the most

remarkable men that have lent lustre to the English turf.'
