1891 DEPARTED MEMBERS 305 



General Mark Wood cannot be passed over without 

 special commemoration, both because he was a nephew 

 of the famous Sir Mark Wood, of the Hare Park, 

 Newmarket, whose achievements on the Turf have 

 already been recorded, and because, like his friend 

 Lord Falmouth, he was no bettor, or, if he betted at 

 all, made merely nominal bets of no importance. He 

 served his country in the 60th Rifles (in Jamaica) 

 and in the Coldstream Guards (Crimea). He has left 

 no impression upon the Turf, on /which he raced as 

 ' Mr. Lambourne ' ; but, as regards ' the curse of 

 horse-racing,' which is betting, he has left an example 

 ' pour encourager les autres.'
