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
