New Austro-Hungarian Minister
of Foreign Affairs Maintains
Large Stable.

ny LA MAHaUIsE DE FoNTENOY.
r. VERY man has his hobby, and the
II hobbies OF those who are called
IL upon to play a great role In the
world are always Interesting.
Thus. the new Auatro- hungarian Min
ister OF Foreign Affairs and Chancel-
ior OF the Dual Empire. Count Leopold
Bcrchtold, IS. like Lord I;osebery. pas
Sioaately devoted to racing, and has
for years maintained large racing
stable and stud farm. of European
celebrity, at Arpadhalom. one OF his
places in Hungary. His colors are fun
liar on most OF the Continental race
courses. They are rose coiored JACKIE
and white cap. In the racing calendar
just issued by the Jockey Club at
vienna the count figures as the second
or third largest winner of stakes for
the year 1911.
People in Austria and in Hungary
are quite as enthusiastic about racing
as they ara here In America. Indeed.
the love OF horses. and / am sorry 10
say, also the gambling instinct. are
the population over there. The an
nounceincnt that the count does not in
tend TO break up his great racing
stable on account of his having become
therefore given much public satistac-
ton, and the news thar he will con-
tnue his connection with the turf S
calculated 10 benefit him politically.
Just in the same way as II did Loru
koaebery. by adding to his popularity
with all classes.
Lord Rosebery Is the only man hold
Ing Cabinet office that ever won the
Derby. and he won It not. only onc,
but on three different occasions LORD
Palmerston was also devoted 10 racing
TO the day OF his death. and rarely
missed going TO the Derby during the
near sev enty years which elapsed be-
tween his debut in politics and his de-
mise as Premier. lie. too. owed much
OF his popularity to his we'll known
passion for this form OF sport. But
with all that. he never won any of the
classic events.
Nor can recall any other Prime
Minister in Europe. during the last
hundred years. who maintained rae
ing stable. and who kept his colors
on the turf. Hence. the news about
Count Berchtold is deserving of note
and furnishes an additional key to a
character about which little is known
outside his own particular circle and
certain official friends whom he has
met while stationed IN u diploma Tic
capacity in the various capitals Of
Europe.
