wins, one of the latter being only by a short head from Lord 

 Morton. 



In flat racing Mr. Russell Monro has had fair success con- 

 sidering his small stud, his best thoroughbred, Goosander, by 

 Gallinule, out of Rose D'Amour, winning for him over ^4000 

 in stakes. 



An ardent deerstalker and fine shot, Mr. Russell Monro is 

 never more at home than when he finds himself amongst the 

 great forests of Scotland, with what success may be gathered by 

 a visit to his dining-room, which contains many beautiful heads 

 from Black Mount, Glenfeshie, Fannick, and other famous 

 haunts of the red deer. 



Mr. Monro is a member of Boodles, the Junior Carlton, and 

 Yorkshire Clubs, and of the Jockey Club Rooms, Newmarket. 



COLONEL PETER AUBERTIN 



Deny it who may, there can be no question but that a race- 

 horse is a very fascinating animal to most of us, and we can 

 call to mind numerous instances where the mere fact of a youth 

 of sporting proclivities being brought up in the vicinity of a 

 training stable has been quite sufficient to inspire a passion 

 for the Turf which would probably cling to him for the 

 rest of his life. A notable instance of this was the late Lord 

 Falmouth, probably the most successful, as certainly he was 

 one of the most popular Turfites of his day, whose liking for the 

 " sport of kings," so we were informed by a life-long friend 

 of his, was, to a great extent, brought about by a sojourn for 

 some months, after leaving Eton, with a private tutor at 

 Epsom.
