^ Its Makers, Past and Present 



He was a Trustee of Ascot Grand Stand until his death 

 in 1890. 



When Robert Garrard resigned in 1873, his son, Captain 

 Robert Garrard, born June 27th, 1831, became a Trustee, 

 a position he retained until 1895. He was senior Trustee 

 from 1 88 1 to his death in 1895, and always took a great 

 interest in Ascot affairs. He also owned several racehorses, 

 but did not, as a rule, run them under his own name. 

 Hunting and racing were his favourite pastimes, and he 

 was a first-class steeple-chaser. He was a director of 

 the Staines and Wokingham Railway, and a large shareholder 

 in the Company. 



It was for seven years only that Edward Peach William 

 Miles was a Trustee. He was elected to the position in 

 1882, on the death of Captain Thomas Bulkeley, but was 

 obliged to resign in 1888, owing to filling health. A sea 

 voyage was undertaken to New Zealand, in the hope of 

 restoring him. He died in the spring of 1889, aged sixty 

 years. 



His son, Captain F. Tremayne Miles, succeeded him 

 in the Trusteeship, and was identified with Ascot until his 

 death in 1896. He was born in 1855, and was educated, 

 as was his father, at Eton, and was for some time Captain 

 of the 1 8th Hussars. He married in 1883 Anna Coralie, 

 daughter of Thomas Sellar, Esq., of Bagshot. Captain 

 Miles was a J. P. for Salop and a Lieutenant in the Wilts 

 Yeomanry Cavalry,
