HERMIT’S DEATH.
The death of the renowned Hermit (unquestionably the most successful sire since Stock well) breaks one of the last links that bind us to the notorious Hastings era. With the exception of Mr Chaplin and the Duke of Beaufort, the gay comrades of the racketty young Marquis have now almost all gone over to the majority. Hermit died full of years (the horse was born in 1864) and honours. As lately as Tuesday one of his progeny, Heaume, carried off a big race, the Hastings Plate, and there will be members of the old sire’s family running for some years to come yet.
