INTRODUCTION vii 



of ig-i-atitude to Lord Durham for having put those 

 words on record. 



I must apologize that in the course of the work in 

 some respects repetition became unavoidable. 



I have to thank several gentlemen for at times giving 

 me access to notes containing points in racing results 

 of undoubted interest and value— so important, indeed, 

 in one or two respects that I regret I am not permitted 

 to render my acknowledgments to them in name. They, 

 too, like myself, prefer to be unknown rather than bask 

 in the sunshine of publicity.
