My dear Harding Cox, 



You ask me to write a " Foreword " to 

 your " Reminiscences," but I fear I have so little 

 literary talent that 1 should only disgrace the pro- 

 duction. But I am sure your " Reminiscences " will 

 be most interesting, for nobody has a greater experi- 

 ence in all the sports of the world than you have, 

 and whether you are the champion of the lot or not 

 is, to my mind, a very small point. It is the interest 

 people take and their insight into the various branches 

 that count, rather than what they do themselves ; and 

 certainly you have always taken an advanced position 

 in that from your early days of Terriers at the 

 Crystal Palace to riding in the Polo Pony Races at 

 Hurlingham, and under Jockey Club and National 

 Hunt rules. 



Wishing you all the best of luck, 

 Believe me, 



Yours very truly, 



LONSDALE. (Signed.)
