Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sporting Magazine, Vol. 38: April 1811 N Friday, the 5th instant, died, in the hundreth year of his age, Mr. William Furnish, of York, and formerly an innkeeper in that city. No man was better known or more respected by all degrees in life. Indeed his good and upright con duct as a citizen-his cheerful, re spectable, and venerable appear ance as a man, commanded the ap probation of all who knew him, and of all who saw him; and from his open and honest freedom of conversation, he was held in great esteem by a number of gentlemen, and by none more than by the late Peregrine Wentworth, Esq. He was ever partial to the sports of the field, especially to greyhound cours ing; for which diversion he always kept the best dogs, and was rec honed a most accurate judge of them. But his long course is now run - and he has fallen into the grave, respected and highly vene rated, by a most extensive circle of 'relatives, friends, and acquaint ances, like a full, rich, and mellow isbockof corn, to which time had long not wished to put his scythe. Lately died, Charles Smith, Esq. Of Rochdale, ' a gentleman well known on the turf, and truly and honourably regarded by all gentle lman who had the pleasure of his acquaintance.
