A Bold Sporting Vesture. — The recent purchase of Mr. I'Anson's two l>erby favourites, Breadalbane and Broomielaw, by Mr. Chaplin, of Lincolnshire, for the large sum of £11,000, has given rise to a good deal of turf gossip, as this is the highest price ever paid for untried horses, neither of the pair having ever appeared in public. Breadalbane is brother to Blair Athol, the winner of last year's Derby, and Broomielaw is by the same sire (Stockwell) out of Blair Athol's grand dam. Mr. Chaplin has never yet trained a race horse, although he is well known in hunting circles, and one of the gossiping tales about the purchase of these horses is, that the Marquis of Hastings having lately carried off a young lady to St. George's Church, Hanever square, engaged to be married to Mr. Chaplin, only twentyfour hours before the nuptials were appointed to take place, Mr. Chaplin would feel no little satisfaction in carrying off the blue ribbon of the turf with the son ot either Blink Bonny or Queen Mary, and defeat the Marquis of Hastings' horse The Duke, who is also a favourite for the great race. -By the sale of the above colts by Mr. I'Anson, and of Blair Athol for £7500, that gentleman has pocketed no less tlian £ 18,500 for three Jhorses within a few mouths.
