Gentlemen Riders 



Sandown Park, and that was the first time in its history that it 

 had been run over an enclosed course. 



As good on the flat as over a country, the services of 

 Mr. Crawshaw were always in demand in hunters' races under 

 the former conditions, and on Quits, a good-looking horse 

 belonging to the late Squire Drake, he won no fewer than 

 thirteen of these events. 



Mr. E. R. DALGLISH 



Prolific in that respect though it has been from time im- 

 memorial, we doubt whether the University of Cambridge 

 could ever boast of having nurtured within its gates at one 

 and the same time such a brilliant knot of young horsemen — 

 and we might add, sportsmen — as that which constituted the 

 "Sporting Set" about the year 1867, numbering as it did such 

 names as Lords Melgund and Aberdour, the Hons. H. and 

 C. Fitzwilliam, John Maunsell Richardson, Cecil Legard, 

 W. P. Jenkins, and last but not least, the popular gentleman 

 whose name figures above, familiarly known to his friends as 

 " Jerry " Dalglish — one and all destined in after years to 

 become as famous in the world of sport as they were when 

 "up at the 'Varsity." Born on February 25, 1849, the subject 

 of our memoir was educated at Elstree and Harrow, afterwards 

 going to Magdalen College, Cambridge, and it was soon after 

 his arrival at that distinguished seat of learning in 1868, being 

 then nineteen years of age, that we hear of his winning his 

 first race over a country, viz. the Herts County Handicap 

 Steeplechase.
