Sir William Strickland's Turk. The Helmsley Turk. Dodsworth (foaled in England). This list comprises the most celebrated animals brought into England from the East during a number of years prior to 1 770. The influx of Eastern blood produced by judicious crossings with our native stock was of the greatest possible benefit to our horses, and resulted in the production of a perfect horse. Of the Oriental sires in this list, the most famous is the Godolphin Arabian — improperly so- called, for he ...was a Barb. He was of a brown bay colour, stood fifteen hands high, and, it is supposed, was foaled about the year 1 724. Most of our best horses trace their pedigree back to the Godolphin Barb. He was bought out of a cart in Paris, brought to England by Mr. Coke, given by him to Mr. Williams, the proprietor of the St. James's Coffee House, after- wards becoming the property of the Earl of Godol- phin. His first foal was Lath, a horse pronounced by the judges of that day to be nearly as good an ani- mal as Flying Childers.
