Colonel William Hall Walker, M.P. 



Of these his best day was on July 21, 1888, when riding 

 at the Southport Polo Club Meeting, he won no fewer than 

 six events, viz. : — 



The Club Cup on Magic. 



The Childwall Stakes on Water Lily. 



The Liverpool Polo Cup on Dorothy. 



A Match on Water Baby. 



The Ladies' Plate on St. Helena. 



The Maiden Welter on Water Baby. 



Between 1890 and 1896 his business and Parliamentary 

 duties occupied so much of his time, that his race-riding was 

 entirely confined to point-to-point races in connection with 

 the Cheshire and other Hunts. But that his skill in the saddle 

 remained unchanged is evident from the fact that for several 

 years afterwards he rode winners under National Hunt rules, 

 he being in his 57th year on the last occasion. 



Besides these in England, Colonel Hall Walker rode and 

 won a great many races in India, one of the most important 

 victories being the Red Dragon Cup ; whilst his winning 

 mounts under National Hunt rules, invariably on horses 

 belonging to himself as mentioned above, were as follows : — 



The Ludlow Cup on Sandblast. 



At Wolverhampton, the Apley National Hunt Flat-race on 

 Friary. 



At Manchester, the Maiden National Hunt Flat-race on 

 King's Idler. 



At Tarporley, the Ladies' Purse National Hunt Flat-race 

 on Raleigh. 



At Ludlow, the Knighton Flat-race on Miss Toto. 



At Wolverhampton, the Penkridge National Hunt Flat-race 

 on Border Boaster.
