He is, too, the first member of the Royal family to take up yacht racing as an amusement, though Charles H. did once race against his brother, afterwards James H. Royal yachts have, of course, existed for a long time, but they have been utilised simply as passenger ships — as a means of travelling from place to place, or of making an occasional cruise ; but when Prince of Wales the King turned his attention to yacht racing, and the Livial Cost names of Livial 2.5mg Tablets the Hrt Livial DagtnaTf Hildegarde^ Buy Livial Britannia^ and Formosa will be fresh in everyone's recollection.

Henry VIII. was a patron of the Turf as it existed in his time, while James I. was a notable all- round sportsman of a kind. He raced a good deal, and it has always been said that the idea of roping the run in on racecourses is due to him. He was on one occasion at Lincoln races, and seeing how the spectators inter- fered with the horses at the finish he suggested ropes and stakes, and according to the story the King lent a hand in fixing them ; this must have been an improve- ment indeed ! The country was in far too dis- turbed a state during the reign of Charles I. for much attention to be paid to sport ; yet racing went on. But after the Restoration Charles II. greatly encouraged the Turf, and among other things founded the Datchet races, which were held, while the Court was at Windsor, for his amusement.

As Prince Regent, George IV. had entered upon a racing career, but his con- nection with the ChifFneys, the Escape incident, his withdrawal from and return to the Turf, are so well known as to need no recapitulation.
