MONDAY AFTER THE GREAT ST. LEGER, OR HEROES OF THE TURF PAYING AND RECEIVING AT TATTERSALL'S. 329 This sketch was made upon the spot by my friend Transit, on the Monday following the result of the last Great St. Leger in 1823, when the Legs were, for the most part, in mourning from the loss of their favourite Sherwood. Some long faces will be easily recognized, and some few round ones, though Barefoots, not easily be forgotten. The Tinkers were many of them Levanters. Here may be seen the Peer and the Prig, the Wise one and the Green one, the Pigeon and the Rook amalgamated together. It is almost unnecessary to say, the greater part of the characters are portraits.
