During' the election, the king made a progress to the north ; and partook, as before, of the diversions of the turf at Newmarket, where he received the compli- ments of the university of Cambridge. Having staid there three days, he went on the 21st to Althrop, a seat of the earl of Sunderland, who was now publicly known to be in high credit with the king. From Althrop he proceeded t...o Castle- Ashby and Boughton, the mansions of the earls of Northampton and Montague; thence to Burghley, \\ elbeck, Warwick Castle, and Wood- WILLIAM III. 401 stock.
