Mr Alec Taylor, thewell-known Manton trainer, no had been in ill-health for soma months past, •fd (as reported on Thursday) at his residence, "■anton House, Manton, near Marlborough, at 20 Ullnutes to two on Thursday afternoon. For some ^L:ars past (says the Morning Leader), since Mr M-anton," the well-known lady who took her turned name from the place at which her horses *fere trained, removed to Newmarket, Taylor has «uefly been occupied with animals that have Scried the light blue and white hoops of the uke of Beaufort but Taylor's name is 41,swiated with the successes of many famous ,'Ollowers of the sport-Sir Joseph Hawley, Mr paries Greville, Mr George Payne, Mr Stirling Wawfurd, and others. As far back as lool -aylor showed himself a master of his art by Preparing Teddington for the Derby, laylor has |V«o had some good horses of his own, and one or 'h^ni, the home-bred son of Exile II. and l«ady Charlie, so aptly named King Charles, carried off the City and Suburban in 1893. Of late years, however, „ THE MANTON SURPRISE. has not come upon us with such frequency as was &nce its wont; and it wa3rather a Iong-looked-for turn of the wheel which Aborigine brought about .t Ascot, for no Manton-trained animal has been "tlry prominent in an important handicap since King Charles upset Windgall in the City and Suburban last year. Few in his profession have had, taking it aitogethor, such a combined run of Success all Mr Taylor. There are soide going facing to-day who will remember the Manton- trained Sa-vernakbd rlesperato Derby struggle vvilh Lord Lyon in 1866 a struggle which came to be renewed with like result in the St. LF-, g e trl 1-0 And Pell Mell's (then known as Brother to Flurry) ?xciting struggle with Cremorue in 1872. Pell Mell was the property of Mr J. N. Astley )Qe of the oldest patrons of Mr Taylor, and unong other well-known animals that in those earlier yeara carried the drab and blue "ap to victory, Atherstone, Overture, and Bosworth can be easily remembered. Having MR ALEC TAYLOR. I 't first been associated with Fyfield, Mr Taylor in 1870, removed to Manton, where a connection, 50gun by his father (Mr Tom Taylor, of Bretby), with Mr Stirling Crawfurd was continued, and this gentleman's all scarlet" soon became Prominent and often victorious on most English racecourses, THK ALL SCARLKT." is no longer among the jackets retained at Man- ton. When the Dowager Duchess of Montrose Carried Mr Stirling Crawfurd, in 1876, the fortunes of the Manton stable approached high tide. Previous to this Taylor bad for Mr Craw, fard trained Gang Forward, the Two Thousand pinner of 1873 Moslem, the co-deadheater with Formosa in the same race of 1868; nd Craig Millar, who won the St. Leger In 1875.
