MR GEORGE LAMBTON 233 



who has inherited his father's ability and can at any 

 time be depended on as locum tenens. 



Mr George Lambton can hardly be classed among the 

 old brigade, though I have known him for many years. 

 It used to be a pleasure to see him ride at N.H. meet- 

 ings. He was certainly about the best amateur of 

 his day. Since he took to training he has enjoyed 

 a very large measure of success, Canterbury Pilgrim 

 and her sons, Chaucer and Swynford, Keystone and 

 her daughter Keysoe representing some of his greatest 

 successes. In no stable are horses more kindly treated 

 than in Mr Lambton's. He is himself on the most 

 friendly terms with them all. It is quite a pleasure 

 to see this when you go round the stable with him. 



Mr and Mrs Lambton are always ready to do their 

 best for the general welfare of Newmarket, and during 

 the war he was a most efficient and hard-working 

 captain of the local Volunteer corps. Training as he 

 does for Lord Derby, Lord Wolverton, Lord D'Abernon, 

 Mrs Arthur James and Lord Stanley, with, occasionally, 

 one or two for his brother, Lord Durham, Mr Lambton 

 has good material to work on, and he certainly makes 

 the best possible results with it. 



One of the most popular trainers at Newmarket is 

 "Joe" Butters, who began his stable tuition under 

 John Scott, " The Wizard of the North." It is not 

 so very many years since Butters established himself at 

 the Kremlin, Newmarket, as he was for a long time in 

 Hungary, together with old John Reeves, who is there 

 still. Butters was in his day a very capable jockey, 

 and within the last decade there was talk of a match 

 in which he and John Osborne were to be the jockeys. 

 Both were willing, but nothing came of it. Mrs Butters
