SON OF KING MAY NOT
JOIN JOCKEY CLUB

WI ~. tIioundi from the decisions
of which there Is absolutely no appeal.
1t is tribunal that has sometimes
been described as EnSland's Court OF
Honor. For it keeps moro or less of
watch over the conduct of people
prominent In English life, and while.
as rule, Its disciplinary measures are
confined to the owners of racing
stables. to their trainers, and to their
jockeys, there have been several In
stances where men whb have run
their horses perfectly straight have
been warned off Newmarket Heath
Tor dishonorable conduct totally un-
connected with racing. And to be
warned or means not only ignomin-
ious exclusion from every race course
controlled by the Jockey Club, but a
social ostracism so severe that most
men would find death preferable.
Lord Wolverton, as a young man.
spent number OF years on this side
ing and brokerage business liz Wall
street, New York. In those days he
bore tho name OF Freddie Glyn. He
was far from rich, and his prospects
OF ever becoming a peer Of the realm
seemed rather remote. being a
younger son of the late Admiral Glyn,
that gallant and courtly Crimean vet
cram who. after losing his wife. be-
came tho hero OF the one romance In
the most beautiful and fascinating
actress OF the nineteenth century.
When she died with such dramatic
suddcnness, liz Paris, while out driving
in the Bois de Boulogne. 1t was found
that she bcqueathed her entire for
tune, amounting TO over S15O,000, to
the admiral. who was SO broken
hearted by her death that he did not
live long to enjoy the money. He left
two sons.
The elder Henry, succeeded to the
peerage Of his fathers elder brother,
Lord Wolverton, on the latter's death
in 1887. and dying in turn twelve
months later without having been mar
ried. left the barony to his brother
Freddie. the former Wall Street clerk.
About four years later he inherited a
100000, from the late Lady WoIverton,
| widow of his uncle. and also derives a
big income from his membership of
the great banking house Of Glyn, Mills,
Currie & Company. He, however,
gives but little of his time to finance,
displaying a marked preference for
all forms of sports, principally horse
racing and yachting.
Lord Wolverton was associated with
Nalkyrie H.. and sailed with him in
the races for the American cup, Off
Sandy Hook, when defeated by the
Nigilant. He is the chief organizer
OF the movement inauGurated some
time ago, which has for Its object the
licensing of yacht shippers By the
Royal Yacht Squadron much In the
same way that jockeys and trainers
are licensed by the Jockey Club.
D,it
a sailing masters certificate. insued
by the Government Board OF Trade In
London. But according to Wolverton.
something more is needed, since there
are plenty of reprchensibe practices
in connection with maritime sport.
which. while deserving of punishment.
do not fall under the ban of the Gov
eminent Board OF Trade, or warrant
the latter's Withdrawal OF the certin-
cate of sailing master. True, the
Royal Yacht Squadron keeps black
list OF delinquent shippers and yacht
owners. but this Is not enough, and,
according TO Lord Wolverton, there
should be some means Of disqualifyinS
them from taking part in yachting
contests in any part of the world if
they have rendered themselves guilty
of the violation OF the rules of the
ring.
