MORE RACING 191 



already referred to General Campbell, there figured 

 in the fighting line such turf celebrities of to-day as 

 Captain Dewhurst, l\Ir Atty Perssc, Mr J. Ferguson, 

 Major Malcome Little of the amateurs, and Anthony, 

 the rider of Ambush II. and trainer of Troytown 

 in the Grand National. 



I have been told that for sheer imperturbability 

 under circumstances which to most people would 

 be a terrific strain, Mr Robert Sievier takes the 

 cake ; he vies with the late Lord Hastings, who 

 could lose tens of thousands of pounds with 

 marvellous complacency.

Mr Sievier's appeal from the Court decision in 

 the late libel case reminds me of a story in which 

 a man (a loser in an important law case), meeting 

 his opponent, said : " I am not satisfied, and shall 

 take you to the Court of Appeal." " I shall be 

 there," was the reply. "If that does not do, I'll 

 take you to the House of Lords." "I'll be there," 

 reiterated the fellow. Exasperated, his opponent 

 continued: "If that does not do, I'll take you to 

 hell." "Very good," was the reply, "my lawyer 

 will be there."
