New ViCerOy a Gentleman JOCkey---Kaiser
Strs Up Observation-Disclosures Me,
Duchess Rides Astride!

LONDON, Sept. e.-The fact that Lord
Mimic. who succeeds Lord CurZon as
Ficeroy of India, was in his younger
days a gentleman jockey OF more than
ordinary skill. is. perhaps. not generally
known in America, where the new vice.
roy has many warm friends.
When the earl was Viscount Melgund
he rode under the nom du cours of Mr..
Rolly- In the 'I0's Lord Mimic was as
well known almost as Joe Cannon. Con-
stance. Marsh. and the other great
jockeys who were then in their prime.
While most of his work was done over
the timber. he rode almost up 10 the
professional mark in fat races. when he
was eligible for the mount. His riding
career ended when he got a tumble
which left him unconscious for days
and from which the doctors thought for
long time he would never recover.
Lord Mimic has never lost his interest
In the turf. and he has also retained his
interest In other sports. being somewhat
of an enthusiast after big game. 1t Is
recalled that the first Earl of Mimic
was viceroy of India just n century ago.
and that he also was a mighty sports
man in the land.

Circuit Races Begin

Match for S500-Miss Clean a Fast Side
WheeIer---Good Card Today

The first circuit trotting pacing and
running meeting races ever held in
Washington was begun yesterday when
the Brightwood Driving Club threw open
its gates to $500 admirers of the horse.
The sport was all that could be ask

for large crowd are good.
a match race between E. II. Hall s
Bedford Boy and ]. Fletchers Gladstone
was carded as the feature, but this event
resulted in the only disappointing race
of the day. 1t was case of a 2:13A
horse against one with mark of 2:2l1a.
Bedford Boy was winner of the first heat
with plenty to spare and finished under
a pull. III the second heat he was an
nouneed to have distanced Gladstone by
the judges.
The first heat was a pretty match for
a quarter of a mile, but there Gladstone
left his feet. and Bedford Boy opened
a gap that could not be overcome In
the second heat Gladstone broke twice,
and before Clayton Fahrney could get
him going, Bedford Boy was an eighth
of q mile ahead, by which distance he
won. 1t was a match race in every sense
of the word, $500 in real silk-threaded
