Onetime president of the National Horse Show, onetime president of the Turf and Field Club, he succeeded August Belmont as Chairman of the U. S. Jockey Club. Unlike those old ladies who feed truck horses lump sugar from paper bags in their purses, he is no sentimentalist; unlike Henry Bergh, he is a cosmopolite without being a freak.
