CHAPTER XVI. 



LORD ULICK BROWNE. 



These pages would be incomplete indeed were I to 

 abstain from mentioning the name of Lord Ulick 

 Browne, who has been for years the lawgiver of the 

 Calcutta Turf Club, and is regarded and honoured 

 throughout the empire as our Indian Admiral Rous. 

 Before he took the matter in hand, the racing rules of 

 that country presented many anomalies which involved 

 injustice to owners and horses. Lord Ulick brought to 

 bear on this intricate subject the experience of a 

 thorough sportsman, and a mind trained to decide 

 judicial questions, as an Indian Civil servant of high 

 standing. I may here appropriately sketch his career 

 in connection with sport, as he was joint editor and 

 proprietor of the Oriental Sporting Maga::inc, as I have 

 before mentioned, with Colonels Turnbull and Nassau 

 Lees.
